I wouldn't buy them. I don't know how much they cost but think of the 50 other uses you could use that money for.

They're probably ungodly expensive like most other CF products out there. Yeah for the cost of caliper covers I could have had a set of sportlines. Thanks but no thanks...

I think most q45 owners want a CF hood...or at least most that car about performance and weight from their Q.

i think that will be extreamly expensive and hard to manufacture, but it's definately possible if you got lost of money.

how about a new dash board for my 240sx made of all carbon fiber (or even fiber glass) i know alot of the dashes crack in the older cars.. and maby even the option of getting an LCD screen mounted in it? and one other thing.. the radatior overflow tank always rots out on S13's almost every S13 i have seen has a roted out over flow tank.. if there was a way to make them, for cheap i think u could sell alot of em.. just a thought

I agree about the dash...a dash made entirely out of cf would be a nice weight reduction too (try takin your dash out one of these days...weighs a ton for what it is, a piece of VINYL)

These are all just IDEAS Btw.

How about Headlight covers, so ppl with CF hoods can match? maybe a venty one like Cwest.

Maybe a not ugly vented CF hood.

random interior parts always sell well... Shift knobs, ebrake handles, pedals, door sills.

They sell well because they look like CF but cost like 2 bucks because they're plastic... I'm really feeling that CF dash and console (the part that goes around your shifter, radio, blah blah)...might as well go all the way back to the storage box (past the ebrake) to make everything match.
