There is a pretty good opportunity for someone with decent pricing to make a small fortune molding seats for the karting market.

cf replica of the varis hood> whoever is the first to make this will profit huge cuz a lot of people want one but nott willing to shell out 1g+ for the hood and shipping from japan...

cf backing of the seats> this is another awesome idea.. as for me im perfectly fine with the factory seats since i have the leather with heat warmers. the only thing i would like is for someone to some how improve our seats and allow us to use the stock seats with a a 4 point harness or somethign along those lines.

CF emblems. ive wanted these for a longgggg time but no one was willing to produce them, might be a profitable product, i think it would be boarder along with the cf b-pillars as theres not too much of a hype for them but there is interest

CF vents that are not 300 bucks.

This "Vendor" hasn't posted since 2004 people.

This thread is dead and gone.

If you guys really want this stuff I suggest you start google mining for Carbon Fiber shops. You can start contacting them to see if they would be interested in doing such work.

Of course fitment is a must as most companies that make cf parts for our cars have crappy fitment issues and aren't real cf , just cf skins over fiberglass. cf sunroof cover with polycarbonate glass would be pretty trick too and could save some weight up top too.
Haha, it sounds like gr8rx wants a carbon fiber car with a renesis in it

I would LOVE a carbon fiber wrapped steering wheel, like lots of the luxury cars offer. Your hands grip to them so well, they are really awesome to drive!

that would be sweet if it was actually functional and not the crappy stuff that most companies make..... a cf rx8 for under 30,000.....yeah right, but it would be cool and interesting to see how much weight could be saved.
