You mean '94 tails? That would be awesome.

Sorry, running quite short on sleep

Would be awesome to have a center piece similar to the '91-'93 that fit the '94 tails though imo.

^ I made my own flat panel out of plexiglass to put in place of the centerpanel, I liked the look of it but it covered up the key hole. If they can make one out of CF that incorporated an opening to still open the trunk with a key, i'd definately be interested.

Lol i actually meant to put 94... I must have hit a 3 instead of a 4. SORRY GUYS.

I always thought that piece would be awesome, but never saw it for 94's. It would have to leave access to the keyhole and still be flat like the normal 94 panel but would have a spot for a light in it that lights up mr2 like above.

Well, I see the trunk lid is in high demand, but making it in smaller numbers, it would be hard to beat madpsi's price. As for the cooling plate, I have actually considered that. One for regular deuces and one for a Border type hood.

With the interior pieces, its alot cheaper for me to laminate them for you guys instead of making new ones. Also the weight savings of a new one would only be in the grams dept.

Possibly, but no guarantees. I'll check into some pricing for you guys.

I vote frunk lid that actually vents the frunk (like the NSX pic). Ducting would be nice, but we wouldn't really need that in cf. That'd be friggin' awesome and I'd slap down some cash right now for one (fg would be equally good for this though)

I like the idea of the gauge pod for the extra din spot below the aftermarket stereo. I've been meaning to make one out of FG.

If it's not possible to beat the prices that's out already, lets stick with stuff that's not already on the market. (hoods, engine lids, engine sides, trunk) let's not waste the carbon on stuff that's available already . I'd say stick with stuff that nobody makes. I'd like to redo my interior in carbon, even if it's overlay (hate the blue interior), overlay would probably be a better option anyways, more affordable
