    Whatever you make, make sure it fits like OEM. Otherwise it's a waste. And that's the difference between something that people will buy and something that people won't. That foglight delete panel looks like it has terrible fitment.

        Whatever you make, make sure it actually has some real weight shaving benefits.

        "Dress-up" items such as a valve cover cover are just rice that will actually be adding weight.

          Front splitter would be cool.

            Carbon fiber gauge cluster would be nice. So, I can fill my trunk with more recyclable beer cans on a scrap yard run.

                  yeah the carbon fiber radiator "shroud" is very doable. lots of the subaru guys use them.


                  splitter is the easiest and I've already made a couple ABS ones as prototypes and practice to get something efficient and strong.

                      not sure, that was a one off I made so don't even have a template for it. they mount using the bottom 2 holes.

                                I agree, carbon fiber is so widely mis-used. Even with hoods and such, they spray half a gallon (4lbs.) of clear coat on them. Look at the F-40, almost dry lay-up with minimal paint/clear. It looks rough.
