Composite Parts (Carbon, Kevlar, Fiberglass)
 
Hey guys,
What parts of the car would you like to be made in carbon fiber? Please no structural parts (i.e. - wheels, frame, suspension, etc.). Just trying to get an idea of what you guys want and is not available.

Carbon Fiber:

Steering wheel, entire Center Consoole from m/t or a/t back (because for us bigger guys leaning on it sometimes can take a toll), having a brainfart on what the name of the big silver pole is but that thing too lol, umm.. pre-done Carbon fiber headlight housings? for people to buy? and if you want to have them put a deposit to get their oem or current headlight housings back that will keep inventory up a bit at least.
sidemarkers, fuel door cover or something

Headlight Husings... Strut tower brace under the hood?

birdman71 11-14-2015 03:44 PM

OEM carbon fiber engine cover?

carbon fiber steering wheel controls, emblems, cup holder, start button,all fluid reservoirs (wrapped), exterior door handles (don't know if that's been done yet). I would love to see the headlight housing idea! I bet that would look sick

The door handles are availablefrom evo r and i have a pic of my strut bar custom skinned (the one under the hood) but its not letting me upload pics right now for some reason

u going to check ur vitals each time individually? dang... and expose clutch and brake fluid to moisture each time? dang dang..

MicntaeG35 11-14-2015 05:57 PM

I don't check my fluids but once every 2-3 months so it wouldn't be that bad

holy fak..

MicntaeG35 11-14-2015 08:16 PM

I don't know about you but my fluids usually never drop. in the 2 years I've owned my Z I've had to put a small bit of antifreeze and barely any brake fluid.

EzDz 11-14-2015 11:11 PM

A custom carbon fiber box to fit new gauges into...

yushinrt 11-15-2015 06:24 AM

it would be nice if you make center consol , cup holder , maybe a vezel to go on the aircon vent ,a piller ,it will if you do any of them in carbon let me know if you ,make it i will buy it

JoDiaz 11-15-2015 07:46 PM

I know you said no suspension but carbon fiber springs would be sick. Sort of like the one:1 but the steering wheel does sound cool

BuddyLee 11-16-2015 05:12 AM

I want a hood with that special carbon weave that has copper threads running through the warp and fill.

Maybe install a fluid level sensor, an LED level low indicator, and then :ughdance:

Mirrors (maybe a bit smaller - bonus if power folding), door handles, pillars, maybe an external handle for the hatch? Hate the finger prints leave sometimes on closing unless she's minty clean.

Some interior trim (the engine start button surround, for ex).

LAVA 11-16-2015 02:42 PM

A, B and C pillars plz

Venom13132 11-16-2015 02:53 PM

really any of the silver interior parts thai would like fully replaced by carbon fiber. I dont like the idea of just sticking a cf cover over the parts.

Riptide67 11-16-2015 02:54 PM

headlight housings, strut tower bars skinned, canards for the 09-14 nismo front bumper that don't look like ****

NismoGT 06-13-2017 11:10 PM

I really need to subscribe to my own posts. However, I have not gotten started with the carbon fiber stuff. Life happened. It is still something I am strongly considering jumping in the deep end with. Gonna be expensive though. But "No sacrifice, no victory" - RIP Captain Archibald Witwicky
