Fake CF paint.
To combine the worst of both worlds there is now fake CF paint. Black with a second "texture" coat sprayed through a screen and then clear coat. ? What costs more - a real CF hood or a painted one? The hot tip just like the real race cars. A CF hood painted body color with absolutely no prep work so that the CF texture shows through - paint is heavy! I love ricers. They're always good for a laugh until you get blown off by a street drag Acura. You like the OK-UH-WA?

Most desired E30 CF parts are available on the market already. How the hell would you make a CF roof for an E30 anyways?Comment

C/f seat belt holders. Yea that'd be tizziiiaggghhhhtt~!

the factory roof is a single plate welded at teh four corners to the top of the corner pillars - basically a big sheet that you'd have to do "some" bodywork to install (cutting the old external roof out for the CF roof plate to replace)
but that's just an off the wall example... i'm really open to and rational/functional suggestions
i don't think seatbelt holders would be worth my R&D time/efforts for any real-life performance benefitComment

you should buy some of that CF tape/vinyl and cover your seatbelt holder and whatever else you think would lookOriginally posted by Ray Smoodivertizziiiaggghhhhtt~!Comment

.......riiiiight. you yourself have seen some of the rides on this board alone. and i'm not talking CF parts that are mass produced by some big company and sold for high profits. ...i'm just looking for enough interest and some practical ideas for some CF that no one has done before, a chance to get unique CF e30 parts for extremely cheap...my labor costs would be compensated by breaking even for the material costs....think more along the lines of an e30-enthusiast-summer-internship....things i can put in my ID/sculptural portfolio
who knows where things can lead?
SORRY FOR JACKING THIS THREAD, it just got me thinkingComment
