Composite Parts (Carbon, Kevlar, Fiberglass)

NismoGT · 11-14-2015, 12:00 PM

Hey guys,
What parts of the car would you like to be made in carbon fiber? Please no structural parts (i.e. - wheels, frame, suspension, etc.). Just trying to get an idea of what you guys want and is not available.

Carbon Fiber:

Steering wheel, entire Center Consoole from m/t or a/t back (because for us bigger guys leaning on it sometimes can take a toll), having a brainfart on what the name of the big silver pole is but that thing too lol, umm.. pre-done Carbon fiber headlight housings? for people to buy? and if you want to have them put a deposit to get their oem or current headlight housings back that will keep inventory up a bit at least.
sidemarkers, fuel door cover or something

OEM carbon fiber engine cover?

carbon fiber steering wheel controls, emblems, cup holder, start button,all fluid reservoirs (wrapped), exterior door handles (don't know if that's been done yet). I would love to see the headlight housing idea! I bet that would look sick

I don't check my fluids but once every 2-3 months so it wouldn't be that bad

I don't know about you but my fluids usually never drop. in the 2 years I've owned my Z I've had to put a small bit of antifreeze and barely any brake fluid.
