2 parts that I wish someone made...

[Project2G]

Yeah I would prob give my left nut for a set of fog light covers dont even care if they are carbon fiber. It sucks having the two big holes (FMIC) I kinda like this hood but I think it's a custom job.

Here is one that's close to that but my cf hook up said they don't come in cf only fiberglass but you can get one made just costs more cash..

I don't like the car either just thought the hood looks functional.

That hood doesn't look like it will allow for the proper amount of clearance for the cam gear cover. Perhaps just for the NA?

I like the fog light covers. It probably would not be to hard to make some.

It should fit a turbo too, it has that "bubble" that most non-OEM type 2G CF hoods have.

The problem is that they are made out of plastic. The ones that I bought from Mitsubishi has "PP" on it.

"Polypropylene or polypropene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer, made by the chemical industry and used in a wide variety of applications, including packaging, ropes, textiles, stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes."

So filling it with bondo won't work for the long run. Covering it with fiberglass won't work either. The only idea I can think of is to get a PP filler/ fiberglassmat or some plastic sticks. I'm going to go check with my local body shop on what they plan to use to fill it, if they say bondo, I might just make my own with some PP filler.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who laughed at that.

hahah yeah same here, i just wasn't going to comment on that

I would really like those foglight covers, and a carbon fiber airbag cover. I know a company used to make one because it used to say on their website "for off-road use only, please do not remove your airbag to install this item" so I was going to buy it and remove my airbag to install it.

I have seen those before on ebay.. A while ago..

. Im kinda honored to have one of my parts on this list.

I dont directly wanna tell you guys what to do or how to make it, since everyone would do it and it'd be played out quicker than black and polished lip wheels...

Lets just say theyre still the stock fog light housings with a COUGHCARBONFIBEROVERLAYCOUGH....figure it out on your own .

 

[SpYYderT]

I have been looking on ebay forever for the carbon fiber airbag cover, but all i can find is the arm rest overlay.

well cats out of the bag now, should have kept it your secret!!

 

[bane3d]

That's pretty funny. When I first saw the picture and the thread, I thought it was just a sticker on an insert. I couldn't understand why somebody wanted to spend a ton of money for carbon fiber inserts. If you wanted get stickers, this would probably be what you are looking for.

[dsmzoom]

now you'll see OEM hoods with a huge cf sticker on

 

[bane3d]

Rice'n it up I guess. Of course with a life of 3 - 5 years for the product, I imagine you'll see the occassional person with a pealing hood sticker on the road.

[dsmzoom]

haha I think ill just cf my whole car while I'm at it.

I have been looking on ebay forever for the carbon fiber airbag cover, but all i can find is the arm rest overlay.

I've been looking forever for both the airbag cover AND the armrest, and I can't find either one. Can you point me to a seller that has the armrests??

One time I did see a CF airbag cover on ebay (like 8 months ago) and it only went for like $80.... I was so pissed that I didn't have any extra cash at the time.

 

[jjgrizz73]

Theres usually some armrests on ebay but they look like 3g advertised as 2g armrests. I bought mine off a guy on eBay that was parting out for 30$, I guess I got lucky...I'm not sure about the airbag, if you find it though let me know where.

 

[dsmzoom]

wrap your airbag in a cf sticker. Gives you the look and the safety to go with it.

 

[jjgrizz73]

hahaha, I have seen people wrap their hoods and stuff with them stickers its terrible

 

[terdferguson]

And I'm sure that someone somewhere has given their rims the sticker treatment

I would pay $250 for this part. I intend to take out the airbag and make some type of small bracket to hold the cover in its place. The arm rest cover is on there probably once every other month. It is strictly an overlay it fits tight over the factory plastic part.
