Yesterday when I was going to sleep a question popped in my head and I came to the conclusion, "Why aren't the windshield vents made in carbon fiber?"

It is a fantastic idea. All that would have to be done is for Chris to take the plastic ugly POS windshield vent off of his car and have a molding of it made in carbon fiber, then make a group buy on them.

How cool would it be? It's easy to mold. It will look off the hook. The rubber seal would just slide in from your old vent. I think it means profit because it's never been done before and where else can you get something as cool as this? So Chris, do you think it's possible? Can we get some feedback for how many people would be interested in replacing their vents with inexpensive carbon fiber ones?

wiper cownlings, that's what they sure are. it's the plastic part that fades away and looks like crud overtime. it comes in two pieces so it would be very easy to ship in a rectangular box with foam.

if chris or his wife has one on their car he could use that for a molding. you can drive without it too. and they all fit ALL 1996-2001 generations.

I'd be interested in CF cowlings,

for those whose are starting to look crappy and gray just use some armor all generously on the cowlings to restore the black color. It's lasted for a long time with my car, even in the Arizona sun.
