Default Gauging Interest in Carbon Fiber Parts (Interior/Exterior/Underhood)

We are looking to see if there is any interest in Carbon Fiber parts? What kind of parts would you guys/gals be looking for? We can do anything in carbon fiber and would like to see what you'd like to see made?

Thanks!!

Great, we'll look at the radio backing plate. So a fuse box cover like this? Only in carbon fiber?

carbon fiber frame... but seriously. What about a carbon fiber K member? All the covers and non functional carbon fiber stuff looks nice and all but for its expensive price I would like to take advantage of its strength and light weight rather than for radiator and fuse box covers?? which Im pretty sure dont need to be strong or light weight. stickers work well for those.

I dont think they mean making everything in carbon fiber. Just the little bits and pieces? That red style seems alright. How about one in the stock fashion? Where its sort of like a lid?

CF dash, I know that they have "lay-overs", but i would buy one that goes around the passenger A/C vent, the panel on the passenger side for for the air bag, the center piece around the 2 center A/C vents, around the gauges, and around the driver A/C vent.

I notice that you have a cover for the overflow radiator coolant. Is it possible to have that in carbon fiber too?
