What Carbon Fiber Parts do you want done? - Page 3

Would fenders really be cost effective when taking in consideration the weight of the stock pieces ? I'm thinking money could be spent elsewhere.

They work for the people that want them and don't care about benifits or cost. I guess its just for the bling factor.

Well, you would save a bit of weight, plus you could have the flares built right in, and you could paint them, which personally I would do unless my whole car was CF.

Id like to have a C/F lip, like that one that MADPSI makes... but cheaper. I cant blow $500.

I'd want them more for the width increase than the weight savings so i can put more tire under the thing. The widebody kit isn't my thing w/ the step down by the doors (I think that makes the car look cheap). I heard there's a company making FG fender replacements that are 10mm wider than stock, but retain the stock look. However, they're in europe, so the shipping cost and wait time would be a bit.

As for weight savings: people offer CF windshield wiper cowl pieces (to replace plastic) and CF decklids (to replace OEM fiberglass).

I have thought about making some. It really just involves cutting the shape out of a flat panel. Im just way to clumsy and I shakey. I know I would screw it up.

Does anyone have any pics of medpilots panels? I used to have some, but my computer recently crashed and I lost everything.

CF front fenders would be neat, especially if they gave a little more tire clearance (without doing the TRD step-down at the door).

That I know . I was hoping for a stylish cover or something of that nature. Don't want to remove mine as the car is way too pristine.

I think some sort of big rowdy, pissed off looking diffuser would be the best replacement choice :o

DrPaine · 11-21-2005, 10:57 PM

I wouldnt mind a CF body kit, not the lip crap, a full out CF body kit, Like a Bomex CF kit. I'd have to change my undies!

DrPaine · 12-12-2005, 10:06 PM

That is beautiful. I would pay for those if they were real CF 2x2 weave.

And with the fenders, I would def rock CF fenders as long as they allowed me to put more rubber down. Maybe without the factory lip so I dont have to roll my fenders.

mr_deuce · 12-14-2005, 04:34 PM

i would be interested in the CF fenders strickly for the strength factor. Our fenders are way to flemsy, i already have 2 dents from little to no effort caused.

but someone needs to make some more CF interior parts. and CF rear diffusers!!!!!

teck2 · 12-15-2005, 07:22 AM

How about fender flares, just like the ones veilside does for the supra

vr4 · 01-08-2006, 02:25 AM

CF engine cover and trunklid, CF spoilers, T-tops (very nice.)

i have my own plans for a trunklid so CF for me might be out. lol

Dumbscout · 01-15-2006, 06:33 PM

What about CF replacement pieces for the interior? I would love some CF in there, but i'm not too crazy about those stickers they sell on ebay

But I would like some CF in there. What about colored CF? Is that an option also? That might be kewl, do a red and black weave, I've seen that somewhere, but not on anything in an MR2, other than those stickers.

Lets see some more engine lids
