Ya know - Carbon Fiber Racing Seats are just around the corner - as well as Body Pannel Replacements made of Carbon Fiber lol - looking awesome Kevin! I should get you to make me a carbon fiber grill for my 9000 - would be a nice tough for sure. (Or even a spoiler)

I just put on my viggen side skirts today and though "There probobly not a market for it because of costs, but did you ever think about cf side skirts..." Viggen or otherwise

iwantaviggen - Tough to say. Pieces like this and others that I have made that are not just a remake are more creative and thus can be more difficult. Bigger pieces are hard because if you screw up even a small piece, the whole things is trash $$$$$. Small pieces like the grill and others are hard because they are more like making jewlery.

soccerrplyr - No market for these since everyone would want them for nothing or complain that they cost too much. I could wrap your skirts in CF if you like but remember CF is not cheap. Search the web and you will find it easily for $50 per yard for just the fabric.

BurnsSide42 - The longer I keep the car, the more gets covered in carbon fiber. However, remember that the whole concept was that it is a show car first and these types of things are what they look for in shows.​

Looks good Kevin.
It also looks like a good place for more speakers too 8)
How much whight can CF cargo cover hold? Say maybe 2 10"s or maybe some 6" speakers???
If you were to sell it how much would it run?

Uhhh you wouldnt want to do that. It would rattle around, and for subs you need a boxed encloser. As for normal speakers IMO they would be to close together to give you a proper image (besides that fact that rear speakers mess up imaging as it is).

and if not for those reasons, you wouldnt want to hack up such a beutiful (and expensive) piece of work

I would have to agree that it is probably not the best spot for speakers. If you really wanted to, I could put some extra supports for the weight. As far as the cost, these are going to sell for $250 each. Carbon top with fiber glass all else would be $200 and full glass would be $175.​

wow only 250!!!n thats a steal IMO...I may just have to save up and get some carbon Fiber after all hehe.

looks great kevin!!

also do you recomend any books on glassing or anything? or the best place to find a resperator
