    Oh, the flares are the Kamotors flares.
    fyi is youre making a plug, it need do be larger than a oem sun roof to fit snug

    That is sweet. Can you see how/if it would work on an early model?

    Also how about a front splitter? I have a Ryan g one on my car and love it but looking for something a bit larger/more aggressive. Again for an early model front valance, which should be easier then late as it's just a flat piece.

    What are we talking for price, I can't justify some crazy $400 for a 1.5'x2.5' piece haha.

    Only CF sunroof panel that still lets your sunroof function properly retails over $600, these would be less and still be high quality.

    Same goes for the trunk

    We thought about canards, but our valences are just too square for them...they would look out of place.

    He can do anything in CF really, so long as it doesn't have some crazy angles.

    He was thinking of doing CF sunroof replacements, and possibly a trunk lid as well...just need interest.

    If you found a way to integrate it into the rear apron I think it would look much better.

    Always wondered what a diffuser would look like. Not sure how I feel. Find a way to make half decent canards up front & u may be onto something

    started a topic GI: Custom made, carbon fiber body work

    GI: Custom made, carbon fiber body work

    So I have a good friend of mine who works in a respectable body shop, he is doing custom work on the side and is in the middle of making a custom one off carbon fiber rear diffuser for his 2011 WRX.

    Here is the mold he made for his car sitting under mine as an example of what it could look like.

    It can be as wide, aggressive, subtle, high or low as we would want..just something multiple people would agree on.

    Personally, I like this one...just a little less aggressive on the sides and I would want the sides to stick out maybe an inch on each side.

    Opinions, interest? If he gets enough people committed to this, he can get started on the mold soon and start laying the carbon fiber.

    No fiberglass as of right now...just carbon.

    Asking price would be roughly $400 give or take on how big we decide on.

    PICS:




    Also considering CF sunroof panel replacement and a trunk lid.

    Pretty much anything, so long as there is interest and committed buyers
