Do you want CF Parts to be made

My friends and I run a shop in Canada. Since that ive noticed that a lot of people are into racing or modding, we might start doing are own BMW parts for the general public. Im just looking to see if people are interested into some cf parts. I need to know in order to start making molds and so...let me know in what parts you would be interested. Here is an exemple of a full cf front end we did long time ago. We can do
trunk,hood,roof anything you need just let me know Ill come up with
a price later on.

A top quality hood would definitely be desirable (to many posers selling carbon fiber with fiberglass core) and maybe some front fenders to lighten up the front end.

There is supposed to be some sort of rear ballast in the back bumper. A hood that saved the same amount of weight as the rear ballast would be sweet. Put on the CF hood, and remove the rear ballast, and folks could ditch double the amount of weight while maintaining the exact same front to rear weight bias.

That would be a good marketing slogan for a CF hood:

Double Your Weight Savings, Maintain Factory Weight Distribution.

I didnt realize it was a vote, I thought it was a list. In that case.....


Front splitters, diffuser, tail, interior trim, roof, flared fenders, hood, and maybe mirrors
