Carbon composite parts?

Ill post some photos tomorrow if I have time. Pricing is difficult to say with out doing a detailed cost analysis. For example, If we made a hood it would be all carbon and cored, without a frame. the process would either be infusion or prepreg. The part would be much lighter and stronger than your standard chinese part by a lot. Retail price could be as low as $1200-$1500 and as much as $2000.

well if the quality is top-notch, those prices don't seem to farfetched

I believe that a carbon hood would be the best place to start with as a mass production product. A stock carbon replacement would be good for ones looking to drop some weight without trying to be noticed. A good engineered vented hood to help escape heat is a good seller by all means, and last but not least IMO a simple low (1" to 2" max) cowl induction would look nasty! Hope to see you get something out soon.
