        I was going to say that, but that would be SO intense.

            I wonder how sturdy a cf copy of the IE/Sparco strut brace would be. If not that, I'm sure the E36 track guys may like a cf copy of the factory x-brace piece (the one on the M3 Lightweight and E36 cabrios.) Either of those would be very easy to make and you could almost sell a few if you had the time/money/machinery.

                  Go for a IS lip mold or something. Or trunk lip. Those have pretty nice curves and isnt too big. You could make the front lip a 2 piece or something.

                  Carbon fiber airbox? That would take some pretty intense critical thinking and you would probably get a good grade if you had good data to back up why it would be effective and stuff. You could probably resell it as well. Design it so that it takes a factory mahle air filter (drop in). Build air straighteners inside of it.

                        CF M20 airbox, Gruppe A S14 style. Less complex than that piece though, since you'll just be feeding off the AFM flange.

                          Airbox ftw! I'd buy one.
                          Not that I care, of course.

                                with you being in a materials class doing this for your senior project, I would have asked you that same question.
