hatch, hood, door sills and sunroof are my main hopes (if other products are available then sure!). hatch = top priority fing02.gif

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


+1!

another thing is, would they be making these items to order or stocking them or a group buy?

my guess is that everyone wants a hatch (including myself), but not everyone will have the money to purchase one (including myself). i just don't want everyone to give this company the wrong impression.

i have a few ideas that i think would fly off the shelf-... cf sub enclosures (molded) for the corners of the hatch area, cf battery box (molded for rear), cf intake manifold!?!?!?!, cf eyelids rd1, cf doors?, cf rear hatch cover (thing behind the rear seats).

realistically if your just want the cf look on interior pieces-... hop on ebay, buy some vinyl "cf print" and apply to the stock interior via heat gun. it's prolly soo much cheaper and if you don't like it-... peel it off!

but i am glad to see another comapny making products for rd's!

Lots of great suggestions everyone.
I think what might be good for all is a small GB or sorts, get things established and then move up to larger items like the hatch. So I'm going to run somethings by Redz and Java to see how we can move things along.

Are there current headlight housings out there?? From the pics Ive seen of the RD Tib I'm not sure what is meant by the suggestion

by my count I've got the following in a somewhat of a priority list
Hatch
Sills
HL Housings
Hood
Sunroof
Gauge pod/pillar
wiper cover

Keep the ideas flowing though, the more the better IMO

I'm not sure on how those would sell, honestly, but I think those are both great ideas.

BTW, I DO have a spare set of Headlights if you'd like me to take the housings out and send them to you.

I think that the CF hatches would sell the fastest here. I know a couple of us would like usefull CF items other than "look dizzle my battery box is CFizzle -20lbs" nana.gif
