I have had a conversation with a fabricator about Carbon Fiber (CF) parts for our V.
If you had your choice what CF parts would you like to have made up for our V's ? This would include everything from dash kits to fuel rail covers to rear diffusers.
If there is enough interest, the fabricator will become a vendor here.

NAF has some CF parts... he was looking for a single piece CF driveshaft I think Specter werkes used to have one... but doesn't anymore... I bet he'd be happy if you got a "quality" product made up |

I'm not talking about just CF bling. I feel the same about that as TBJS, but the fabricator is looking for demand on both appearance items and functional performance items.

I may be interested in both. I like the underhood CF bling I guess you could say. As long as its not all over the place. Just some nice tid bits here and there. |

I would like to have the CF trim around the radio. Not interested in that stuff under the hood.

Given a choice, what carbon fiber bits would we like?
Well, here's a start:
• Roof
• Rear Diffuser
• Underbody panels
• Front/Rear Bumpers
• Adjustable Splitters
• Exterior Mirrors
• Rear Spoiler
And all of it in exposed weave.
And if he can get us rear quarter panels, including the section that wraps up into the roof, that'd be stupendous. That's actually supposed to be part of the unibody, which is the biggest hang-up to replacing it, but, looking at the parts catalog, it looks like it's just a shell that can be spliced out.
While he's at it, if he can flare the fenders a bit, without making it too glaringly obvious, even better. |

I have been dieing to get a hood and chin spoiler, Specter Werks makes great products, but their pricing is steep just like everything else is for a  except for the resale value.
Im interested in a cheap hood and chin spoiler, doesn't have to be carbon, but anyways I doubt your contact would drop below Specter Werkes' pricing... |

From your list just the underbody and the diffuser as long as its not like the ones naf posted pics of. Has to be tasteful. More than likely to get it to work correctly, you will need a read bumper cover as well. Maybe to expensive for me. |

A true, Wide rear quarter panel replacement (and not that wide body that looks like a tube that was on chef's car) think E30 M3 rear quarter panels....and some stock style wide fronts to match 
If you're going to dream, dream big i guess.
