Carbon fiber stuff

I have to second the actual CF parts. Overlays don't appeal to me as much...I'm in it more for the functionality of weight reduction in addition to the look. An overlay, it seems, would damage my original part and just add weight.

A number of production cars these days come with CF panels, roofs, etc. Why do you say a roof overlay is much safer than a full CF roof? I just don't know much about the nuances, so anything you can add would be helpful.

So, parts i'd be interested in are:

Full CF:
Hood and roof (hood painted preferably)
Fenders (ideally painted)
side mirror housings

Overlay:
front fang area
fascia around exhausts

Definitely up for seeing more and coming by your shop to check things out. As you've noted, I'm in the area!
