Im getting back into making composite parts, and looking to have a broader product line. What parts would you like to see made out of fiberglass or carbon fiber for the fd?



One of the resins I use is stable to 330 degrees F, so I can make parts to survive in the engine bay.



Im finishing up a prototype of an elbow similar in design to the Greddy one, but in carbon fiber. Ill have more information up on that next week.



Lets hear some ideas.

The interior plastics, circling from driver door armrest all the way to the shifter surround, doors if they're stupid light, and the GT-C wing, since I have yet to find one anywhere else.
