The stock hood is already ridiculously light weight. Higher areas of the car would be the best place to remove weight so you lower the center of gravity. CF roof panel would be interesting, as would a trunk lid.

Carbon rotors are not even close to being the same carbon fiber composite that is being used in this case nor could they be made in the same fashion. The rotors are carbon ceramic or carbon-carbon. BIG differance.

So fabricator is thinking about CF Fuel Rail Covers (FRC) as a first project. Ideally he could get a set of LS2 and a set of LS6 FRC's that have been already cut up for the V's as a mold. Anyone got a set they are willing to loan for the molds ?
Is there enough interest in FRC's ? |

I want something substantial.
Start with the roof and I'm game.
Then we can get the rear quarter panel (slightly flared). If he can do the rears flared, he can do the fronts. Then we'll knock out the rear diffuser, underbody panels, splitters (adjustable, if possible), and spoiler. Next up, the exterior mirrors and bumpers. That about covers it.
Everything else is already available. |

Is there a ballpark on price yet?. I would be interested in FRC's depending on the price.. But A form fit guage pod is more useful  the maggie guys would be all over it |
