Mucho Carbon Fiber.....

[Project2G]

Does anyone know if you can still get the carbon fiber hood wiper cowl? Mine looks like poo and would rather get a carbon fiber one than a new oem one.

Cmon guys there's got to be some 1g stuff like that!!!!

+1000 on sunroof plug, if nobody makes one by next year I'm having one made dammit! haha

 

[Project2G]

Yea, because some people buy it because it looks cool. Because looking cool is all that matters!

For instants the wrx. The stock hood and stock fenders are aluminum so carbon fiber would have no weight savings with those parts. The trunk is the only part where you see actual weight savings with carbon fiber.

+1
You wont find anything for 1gs.
Nobody cares about us.

because 1Gs are worried about going fast, not being CFed out!

 

[LongJonSilver]

I'd like to find a carbon fiber oem style front bumper cover. That'd be sweet. (I'd paint it thought )

 

[Captainredeyez]

I think I'm going to write one of the companies to see if they'll make a sunroof plug. My sunroof is broken, so I sealed it up with the same sh*t you seal the windshield with. It works real good, no leaks at all.

 

[olmytsi]

Some guy on nabr is tryign to get people together so that a guy he knows can make a few sunroof plugs.

Only cf part i have on my car is the armrest, got it used tho. Those parts look REALLY tempting but i like to keep my car clean and oem-like.

x2. I think if we get enough people together (who will actually put out the money) we can get a group buy going

 

[Captainredeyez]

I wrote a company about a roof plug. Now im just waiting to hear back from them.

 

[Captainredeyez]

Yo I need suggestions from ppl that want a plug. Would you want to be able to take it out after installed or not? Also maybe you would want it to be able to pop up but not slide back? Please give me some info as to how you would like to see it used or installed. I'm currently talking with a company that makes pieces for our cars and the guy is very interested in making this.

 

[crimsonGST]

Pop up would be cool, but the reason most people want them, is to actually save weight, therefore removing all the sunroof parts.

 

[Captainredeyez]

Exactly. I mean I told the guy we would have to remove all the sunroof parts and then it wouldn't come out.

 

[crimsonGST]

I'm pretty sure that is what they're asking for. Personally I'd never take out my sunroof, I<3 it. But if your really into the race/track scene and your looking to save weight, this would be a big +

 

[Captainredeyez]

Well my sunroof is broke and I have no intentions of fixing the damn thing. I would defiantly get the plug if one is made. I never really liked the sunroof anyways but that's just me i guess.

 

[crimsonGST]

I still think the BEST part that needs to be made is the front bumper. OEM ofcourse. Think about it, strongest man made material, on your front bumper? Anyone else see the problem here? WHY THE HELL DON'T WE HAVE ONE YET.

It needs to be a quality piece, not a flat piece of CF with rounded edges riveted to the roof.

Also, I think most people want it to be a plug, not a panel to just replace the glass. People want to remove the tracks, motor, etc. However, it should not be so permanent that it can't come out or needs to be installed with window weld. Some type of simple latch design would be nice. Although if it was a quality piece I wouldn't mind making it fairly permanent.

I love that carbon fiber wing

 

[WhiteDSM420a]

does anyone know where u can buy these pieces?

 

[crimsonGST]

EBAY. That's where everyone of of those links goes to.

 

[jjgrizz73]

I would def. be in for the front bumper is anyone feels like getting a company for a mold/group buy going.

 

[crimsonGST]

I'm in so long as the price is not outrageous. I'll try to ask the company that does the group buys on hoods and hatches and get an estimate.

 

[Boosted98gsx]

Also in for CF sunroof plug, but a glass replacement that will still operate.

 

[WhiteDSM420a]

Yeah im down for some CF pieces let me know
