Gauging interest in Carbon Fiber parts

[robsontuning]

What about fender flares instead of replacing the entire fender.

 

another good one, I will add it to the list. One question we are talking about fender flares for all four fenders like Corazon?

Here is my idea for a 5-speed...

 

Instead of trying to use the cubby hole to hold gauges, let use the ashtray (for who really smokes anymore:iam: ). Take the ashtray plate off of the shifter boot and make a new carbon fiber plate that will hold three 52 mm gauges. You can angle the gauge towards the driver so you can see them better.

 

I have asked a local carbon fiber guy to make this and he said no problem but the cost would be 300.00 for the carbon fiber piece. Now this sounds reasonable but cheaper is always better .

 

Ok does this make sense?

great idea

I doubt you could fit larger than a 45mm down there.

I would have no idea until I see what can fit and still be visible by the driver and clear a short shifter.

i'd like to get replacement pieces rather than just overlays.. but whatever you think you could do..

 

i've attempted to use CF vinyl, but it just does go around the curves very well, and kind of looks cheap.

+1

no you can fix three 52 mm gauges there .. no doubt

You should do the whole poll list

[thebadguy]

I have the fake wood trim on the inside and would love to replace it. Do you have anything for that yet?

I do plan on doing the whole poll list. What I am looking at now is what order to do it.

Nothing yet, fabrication will start this May. Also it is looking so far that this will be the second piece done.

[AWDDAD]

how about the factory intake duct, the one that goes from the grill to the airbox. that would be nice in carbon fiber

[PGT]

take that one step further and do a whole carbon box, with an inlet from below as well where the resonator is.

I'd have to vote for this, too...

So far it is looking like the first project will be the Under hood parts, but the interior and the splitter are catching up fast. All of the suggestions have been great and the more the better.

 

Also if you have not voted, please do so I have more accurate results.

+1 on Carbon fiber interior dress ups

[Mines]

I vote for carbon fiber interior bits, since that much carbon fiber under the hood will only mean... $$$$

[Levish]

actually just ran across this. kinda nice and add a lil style to rear end.

would be nice to also have a single outlet one for those of us interested in a system that doesn't split into two mufflers

If I produced a mold for the twin exhaust, it would not be difficult to make another for a single exhaust. Just would need to know before I produce the mold which side you would want the exhaust on. I would expect the left, but who knows:)

I'm not sure if you have ever checked out the prices of non stick on interior upgrade bits

 

99-400$ a piece with a whole interior kit costing upwards of 700$ easily

Back when I had my last 3rd generation RX-7 I purchased the Carbon Fiber overlay for the interior of my car and it cost me like $365.

It is looking as if these will be the first parts fabricated. When I start this, do you guys want the Subaru emblem placed one them or do you want something different place on them or nothing at all?

[praedet]

Subaru and/or STi...

[Mines]

Subaru only. I want that blitz carbon fiber induction case so bad, but of course it costs $1000

I know, I am a Blitz dealer and when I saw the price of that piece my jaw dropped. . I am sure it is a hard piece to produce, but they are very proud of it.
