What would be cool to have made of carbon fiber?

I have a friend that is proffesional composites guy in the Aerospce field an has been doing fiberglass ,carbon fiber and kevlar types of stuff for over 10 years. An I was curious what would be cool and different to have made from carbon fiber? If anyone is interested in custom stuff email me cause his prices are very reasonable ( not joking ) he has can make kits ,an wrap dashes ,all kinda different stuff. He has a all carbon fiber wing for his corvette that if anyone is interested in seeing i will get pic if possible. Anyway what should i have done?

Some of us on here were looking into getting the 4g dashes made out of complete carbon fiber not wrapped. If your guy can do better than $900 then a few of us might be interested.

Haven't been quoted on anything but I would figure it would weigh 15- 20 lbs. maybe even less.

i dun think there are any companies that make CF trunk lids. ( i could be wrong) but if i'm not...you can make one for me (i'll pay you) see how much demand there is for them..and you and your friend can make ALOT of $$$$!!!


i dun think i'll pay more than $300 tho.
