I have forever wanted a full IUP in carbon fiber, not just the generic stick ons that are being sold. I will definately buy from you if you make this! Carbon fiber sideskirts will be sickness. Carbon fiber brake pads? Don't know if that's feasible though. Also, now that Techco is out of business, maybe a carbon fiber hood with functional butterfly? Just sayin'

If you do a group buy of like 5-10 members, I think you'll have a hard time getting people to advance you 800$+ (advancment of money being the best form of commitment) and then having to wait X amount of time till their product is shipped. If you did something like a 10% advance till you got the necessary number of members, then they could send the remaining amount of money to have their product shipped.
So something along the lines of having a 10% deposit would be more realistic.
@drock yes I will be at C&C to show the items. I want to have my cars outfitted for local shows this spring/summer.

Carbonfiber wheels are definitly possible, but their structural integrity is always in question. I've seen wheels completely in carbon fiber (1 piece units), and also wheels that use a forged alloy hub/spoke combo mated to a carbon fiber rim. The 1 piece units are definitly scary, lol. Eitherway, it'd out of your price range, so dont worry.
I'd be more worried about hitting a pothole and cracking the rim, than breaking a spoke..
