Does anyone have ideas for product they might want to see in CF or FG?

They should be something reasonable that people will want to buy.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Front bumber cover (cf), some rear doors (fg)for those of us that don't use the rear area, front fenders (cf), I really think the ground effects (cf) would look great.

Interior parts. The surrounds for the Radio and Headlight/dimer switch is something I would like to see done.

Possibly for the COLUMN shifters too maybe?? :)

I would like to see some doors in CF or FG just to loose some weight, the fenders and trunk are not that heavy to begine with. on the other hand doors would be expensive and probably would not sell so good.

CF can!!

The fenders are very light already, and so are the doors once you removed the window lifts. CF bumpers could be cool, but I'd never run them on a street driven car, they'd be destroyed in a matter of weeks.

Considering I have yet to find ANYONE to offer any kind of replacement bumper cover for a gen 1 (front and rear), Id like to see that done :thumb:

Or please direct me to a source for bumper covers :biggrin:

I always thought a carbon fiber cover for the front valve cover would be cool. Something that would use the same bolts, but cover the plug wires. Maybe I'm just crazy, its happened before.

I would still like to see my idea of CF side corners...

either with a "ram air" effect or fully inclosed.... CF liscense plate holder (where needed)

interior wise i would like to see.... maybe a CF arm rest??? a CF Sterring wheel cover (not the hand cover, but on the air bag... allthough it would have to be thin enough so if the air bag ever did go off, it could break away...) maybe CF inserts for the doors, replacing the factory "leather" or whatever it is, vinyl i guess.... CF sunshade??
CF air vents???? or maybe even a CF dash kit????
the last three i just threw out there.... but the others would be cool...
just my 2 cents.

I love the idea of carbon fiber side mirrors.

I think you can get a sheet or carbon fiber off E-bay and lay it out and melt it to stuff. I want to try this with the black dash surround. Also some door panels and other random parts. I'll have to see how it looks though.

No to bumpers, fenders, doors...

Carbon fiber tint! hehe. A carbon fiber roof could drop the center of gravity, not sure if it could be possible though...

A SHOShop "Can" knock off would be a good thing. I still feel that was a better set up then the CAI of later years. I think it would need to be a complete kit to sell though.

Bumpers might be possible.
