Ok i open these thread ### i would like to know what CARBON FIBER parts 1g's owners would like to be made... i Actually make parts that big company's like VIS'S SEIBON don't make... something more customize...
start making some 1g interior parts (Center Console, Door Sills, Arm Rest & Center Taillight) because those parts sells very good for the 2g's but i kind of disappoint ### they haven't work that good on 1G's

MY POINT is... I really want to make some good nice parts for 1G's so feel free to tell your IDEAS...

My Ideas
Headliner
Pillar Covers (with gauges)
 
Exterior...simple vented hoods, fender/over-fenders, diffuser, lip, trim replacements. None have ever been made.
 
Lower window trims (sweeps). You know, the black trim that starts to peel over time and thats discontinued.
 
You should make

-carbon fiber mirrors
-rear exhaust cap for bumper
-1g/1gb aero dynamic lip
-Rear diffuser
 
I Would like to see the radio bezel, and the U shaped trime pieces reproduced in CF.

Also headliner w/ moonroof provision.

Moonroof plug that functions. Yeah I dont like sunlight and shit shining down through it, but sometimes I want to open it or take it out.
 
I might be out of my element here, but I don't understand what the advantage of a CF headliner would be. I redid the fabric on mine using someone's write up on this site, and it weighed less than a pound.

If you want to save weight, why not just ditch the headliner completely?

Maybe you will spend the same money but it would look much better in CF than fabric

shoot me with your ideas...
 
I have all your interior peices and they are top notch :thumb:. I should send you a pic sometime.

1g guys are usually not into interiors, like LandoAWD said exterior peices like lips would sell really well. If you sold a decent lip it you probally couldn't make them fast enough. I know its a pain because of the 1ga and 1gb and eclipse talon thing. The 1gb talon has the best front bumper by far, I would start with that.

Very few people will buy a CF headliner, I would, but i'm not the average 1g owner.
 
A lip for my bumper would look nice!
 
Would it be made with or with out the moonroof. And I am still going to get the other pieces, I am just going to have to wait a little longer.
 
I like the idea of a CF headliner, but can't justify the money for just interior looks. Any 1G I get a hold of gets gutted anyway.

I'm going to side with talontsi18 and Lando; if it would work out to be cost effective, a diffuser and a lip would go on my wishlist for sure.
 
x3 on the head liner idea.. i hate the cloth when it starts to sag, then your friends decide its funny to poke holes in it, then think its even funnier to stick shiz between the cloth and the liner piece..
 
A one piece carbon fiber headliner would never sag. There is no fabric glued to a board to worry about. Plus it doesnt look bad and weighs very little. That is why a lot of people would like to have one. It sorta justifys the cost because you can just through away that old piece of shit headliner you allready have and replace it in one go.
 
I think a lip and diffuser would be cool. and a carbon rear oem wing would be cool. An exhaust cap would be nice as stated. I like the simple vented hood idea too. Some canard looking deals too that dont look like they are from the autozone shelves. maybe an upper wing like the scoobies or lil fin things on the evos that go on the top of the hatch above the glass but before the roof.

Thanks for the ideas men i like the exhaust cap that would be nice.... One of my biggest goals is the 1ga Spoiler but it would be kind of expensive ### its 5 pieces...
Thanks

What bout a 1gb? Isn't it only a 3 piece? Caus ei think a CF spoiler would look pretty sick with a CF hatch. N e thoughts bout my idea for a subaru style second spoiler or evo fins on the hatch?
