Default Carbon fiber stuff

Hello everybody! Since the rules do not allow me to post anything to lead anybody to our business we wont post the business name or any info that can lead to sales (Keep in mind we don't even make any parts yet for the 370Z so I hope this is a legal thread) All I know is that the rules did not specify weather we can or can not test the water.

We went to a Nissan dealer today to do a little research on the 370Z and we had a good amount of ideas.

What would you guys think of the following in carbon fiber?

+Fuel doors
+Fender replacements (full carbon fiber or 1 layer carbon fiber for appearal)
+Hood
+door sill pillar overlays / rear window overlays (IMO it would look sharp)
+side mirror skulls (direct replacements)
+Carbon fiber roof or roof overlay (overlays on the roof is muuuch safer)
+Rear lisence plate cubby overlay
+Rear carbon fiber cutout over the tail pipes (Where some apply black vinyl to)

Those are just a few ideas so far.

If I need to become a vendor in order to do this then I will but Id like to see what a few people have to say here before we become a vendor.

We are new to these forums and we plan to be as active as anybody else, get to know some of you (especially local members) and we don't expect to join as vendors and start selling right off the bat. We first plan to gain your respect and trust

Reputation before sales is what we always say.

PICS BELOW TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA!

These are the CF overlays I mentioned earlier but we were thinking of also making them for the rear windows since they are so small.


And here are the fenders. I couldn't find any 350zs or 370zs with carbon fiber fuel doors. CF side mirrors and hoods, I assume most of you know what they look like.


P.S And yes before we even begin to advertise anything, we will show our work.

that sounds pretty cool, do you have any other forums you go onto...so we can read what people think of ur work so far.

that's a must because some CF makers produce crap, i dont mean you, but some do...lol

Right now we are vendors on no other forums. But like I said I don't expect anything from any member until we prove ourselves. We would love to have a or several local members come by to check out our stuff and hopefully they would be able to vouch for us Also if/when we become sponsors/vendors we will post pictures of us working and finished products. I understand how some may be skeptical since we have nothing to show for as of now, but its because 1. we're new, 2. we cant post our stuff yet, 3. we don't make 370z parts yet :P

Mastergrade? No need to explain here so we can stay on topic, and I dont want others to be reminded of them and then judge us. BUt I will do my research, see what they did, why, how and then make sure we dont follow those steps

The area that some are wrapping in black vinyl? I thought about that and overlays that go in the rear license plate cubby.

Yes, that area that is being wrapped in vinyl, has an indention in the bumper that frames the area. This would look great in carbon fiber!

a good CF maker this time made a rear diffuser that fits right on top of the rear valence, the carved out part on the rear bumper.

What about CF overlay for the front where the fangs are. I think it would look good front and back CF touches.

I have said this before of other CF producers:

1. A nice CF lip that mimics the Mine's lip, but minus the upper 'wings'.
2. A replica of the stock spoiler and the Mine's rear spoiler together in one piece.
