Something like this would be a big winner.

If you did front and rear fenders that would be perfect.

for instance take the front fenders and pull them an extra 1" on both sides and take the rear fenders and pull them an extra 2" on each side. That you will definitely get some interest in!!!!

+1 for vented hood that's cosmetically pleasing and functional. I've heard horror stories about CF hoods warping due to environmental factors which is why I'm still stock.

Wider dry cf front and rear fenders, What about a functional rear diffuser that actually functions. Do you have access to wind tunnels since you do carbon partsa for race cars? I would definitely be interested in all those items.

Feel free to send me parts to test and keep afterwards

heres some photos as you requested

Like everyone else I would like to see a good carbonfiber hood with vents that keeps the stock hood lines. I have also been looking for some well built
F1 style front fenders like I have for my 300zx. But some small items that would be nice is really carbonfiber panels not the cheap stick on junk everyone else makes. Like maybe really carbonfiber side mirrors or some interior panels around the dash and head unit. Anything that is well built and replaces the part and does not just covers it up. idk just some ideas.

You should gt in touch with MRWorks about the possibiliy of doing their GTR Fenders. I know the reason they were looking for someone domestic they could trust with quality control and cost.

Their fenders would look badass in carbon.

I would buy a CF Roof Replacement if you guys made one... It would be one of the easiest parts to make too.
