Hey guys
I've spoken with redzman a while ago about starting a "what would you like to see" thread. So here it is smile.gif
For those that don't know, I am the owner and fabricator of CompactDivisions.com. I've been around a long time and will continue to be here for a long time. I don't just make parts for Autos either. I do alot of local business and produce composite products for a variety of markets. FYI the website just specializes in Autos and will continue to expand.

Almost all of my CF products are vacuum infused and NOT open wet lay-up molded. This means - BETTER parts smile.gif If anybody wants more details about this just ask.
Every part is hand made in North America
All replacement parts are infused with high quality Epoxy or Viynl Ester resins. NOT cheap std polyester.
UV inhibited gelcoats
More than 3 coats of automotive Dupont clear coat, hand rubbed wetsanded and polished

As most know, pretty much anything on or in the car can be made in carbon fiber, whether it be for looks, for performance or weight savings. If I feel that the part is too intricate (for mounting especially) a permanet overlay is always an option and very hard to tell that it is an overlay.

I'd like to hear some ideas from people on what items they'd like to see the most. Not just see actually, what items they'd be interested in buying wink1.gif So post up and hopefully we can start a GB or two in the very near future

Here's some eye candy fing02.gif

I would like to see a 3 gauge pillar pod made for the Rd's considering that there are none that fit our cars(universal 3 gauge pods fit like crap) and espically since it would be in Cf would just set it off.

I'd like to see parts like a CF trunk, CF hood, etc that actually reduces weight instead of replacing light weight plastic with light weight cf for the blingbling rice factor wink1.gif

i would start with the inside where rd1-and rd2s are universal. that way, your buyers aren't split 70/30

What I would like is a carbon RD1 hatch. Or even fiberglass.... Reasonably priced. Shipped abroad.

A hood would be great. OEM style or other subtle design.

WELCOME!!!
