the carbon fiber rear seats have been done. i forget where but ive seen them, they also have plastic ones that are just as light. id think the carbon fiber one would be expensive considering itd only save you a couple extra pounds. i doubt your friends at carbon ware are gonna make much money off of selling carbon fiber fenders or doors, the price plus hassle of installing plus paint wouldnt be worth it for the average stang owner. so that leaves the trunk lid and body mouldings, which would probably be expensive but i think people would go for it. things for the interior, hmm well i dont like the look of carbon fiber for the most part...but the sn stangs could really use a new steering wheel, seriously ours look like crap. if they made a carbon fiber one that looked good and kept the factory airbag, id buy it.

i would get the following in cf... pretty much anything. I'm down for anything that saves weight and still looks good.

if you use plastic or something similar to balso wood for the seat delete it would be lighter and cheaper than CF i would think.

if you used balsa wood, the a/c on max would rip right through it.

im trying to figure out how a carbon fiber rear seatr delete would even be worth it. you know rear seat delete kits are made of like really really really thin plywood. you would probably save like 3 lbs by switching to carbon fiber and it would be aexpensive as hell

carbon fiber gets spider cracks easier than stock parts because carbon fiber flexs more
