good point, I agree!

On the carbon fiber piece, what about an engine cover????

wide body carbon fiber body kits. Functional carbon fiber rear diffusers would look amazing.
+1 on the CF front splitter as well.

Thanks for the input so far, I ordered a ton of material last night to get the ball rolling.

I think a rear diffuser would be pimp, like the saleen extreme.

I hear you on the interior pieces. I'm thinking about offering a wrap instead of completely new pieces on some of them. I would charge a core charge for the wrapped parts that would be refunded if you chose to send me your factory part. That way I can keep the price down and they have the same appearance as a completely cf part. Most of the interior parts are plastic so it's not like you'll really be saving any weight there anyway.
