Smart Carbon???

What do you guys think of doing all the panels in Carbon Fiber?
What parts would you like to see in CF if any?

How about interior Pieces?

That would be quite interesting...


I have seen some interior CF pieces for sale - with pretty high prices because they are made in Europe. I'd be all for US made CF products!

Real Carbon fiber or just a look of Carbon fiber?

BIG Diference

carbon fiber is cool and all but the exterior wiuld be a little lame. IMO
I could see a body kit, but not doors, fenders, bumber's, etc....

Carbon on the inside or as an accent no problem, you'll sell the hell out of them.

Plus on the safe side, I really don't want carbon fiber splinter's exploding on me, when I get in a wreck.

If I make anything in CF it will be Real CF not the fake stuff coming out of Europe. Inerior pieces are nice but I think and a few exterior pieces would be great do if done in the right way.
