I doubt they made/make any carbon fiber doors, hood or trunk back in 1990 or any now.

They do make Carbon fiber dash kits.

Plus I don't want to start any arguments with you like in the [HID???] topic, But adding that stuff kills the purpose of the car. The car was meant to be a fast car for business men not a race car for 17 year old's. sure a restored on is fast as hell, but its not a G20 or G35 for which those were meant to be fast.

Plus how much lighter can all the carbon fiber be?

But if its a show car wouldn't he want all new good looking paint all around?

To me carbon fiber is used more on RICE cars that have low horsepower and are gutted so they can go faster while sounding like crap.

Hopefully he will have a cahnce to drive a fully retored one before he turns his into a parking lot ornament.

So many later owners never discover how well a restored one performs.

To answer your question, you'll have to spend a LOT of money to have one made for you. If I was replacing Q panels for weight reduction, I'd go with fiberglass or aluminum.
