There are a couple projects that I will be working on in the near future [that will be made with Carbon Fiber and Kevlar]. I am curious to see what you guys would like to be made out of either Carbon Fiber, Kevlar or a CF/Kevlar hybrid.

Items already on paper for parts include:
1. Center Console Lid
2. Dash Pad
3. Front Quarter Panels
4. Front Spoiler Chin

Feel free to add on; the only thing that I will say is probably out of reach for us [production wise] would be hoods [for now].
[fyi I use a CF/Kevlar sandwich for stuff that needs more tensile strength and flexibility without breakage]

 

...

 

All of the above! And hawks 5" style spoiler would be slick!

 

2 or 3 inch carbon fiber cowl hood, carbon fiber trunk hatch (http://www.bodykits.net/trunks-and-h...camaro/174299/), and a carbon fiber grill would be sick but I doubt they make those.

 

actually, just found a carbon fiber grille here and its sick

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/fabr...28-grille.html

 

Carbon fenders & hoods would be awesome. Mby a carbon strut tower brace and wrap around T/A spoiler.

 

What about carbon fiber engine components? Can it even be done? air cleaner lids? i would get one in a heart beat. What about intakes, valve covers etc.

Of course hoods and spoilers what about interior pieces like center console lids or a custom gauge panel (for firebird lol). Or a stylish stock appearing body kit for base model firebirds/camaros. If I could do carbon fiber i would!

 

Things that I would be interested in:

-Center console shift plate
-radio bezel
-hood louvers or blisters
-rear spoiler
-exterior badges
-e-brake handle
-front grill
-Trans am or GTA door panels
-door sill plates
-hood
-cold air intake tube
-front splitter
-side splitters
-valve covers
-center console lid

I would definitely be interested in any of those components to go with the carbon fiber grill that I already have.

 

I've got cash ready for those first 4 parts, I would like to see a convertible trunk lid and spoiler.

 

This carbon fiber air cleaner lid is sick but its kinda expensive
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/KNN-85-6840

 

thats stupid expensive... prob 50% of the cost is bc K&Ns name is on it.

 

Certain CF components should be easy [such as air cleaner trays and lids, valve covers and timing covers]. However, an intake sounds like an interesting and particularly horrifying task [mainly because you would nominally want a smooth, steady and matching flow rate between ports]. I'll have to look into that one quite a bit more.

And as for the K&N lid, that is crazy expensive. Even with high temp resin and having a 6 ply 2x2 CF twill set up [with at least 3 orders at a time] it should only be around $75-85. I would like for it to be lower than that, but until I find a decent, UV & high heat stable resin supplier....kind of stuck.

 

Trans am interior pieces
93-97 Ram Air hood.
Vent Fenders
WS6 style wing
91-92 front bumper possibly

But out of all of those i had to pick one. 93-97 Ram Air hood.

 

Chin spoiler would be my first choice, then anything interior that could be fiberd.

 

come on. . .the heaviest, removable, non performance part of the car. . .doors!

I know they are more difficult, but possible.

 

z06 style stone guards might be interesting

Hood, nose, fenders and doors but I wouldn't want to ask the price. For a street car, the deck lid also.

 

How much would the CF dashpads be?

 

Chin Spoiler, The Hood, Rear Spoiler, The Wheels, :u Some real Weight Shaven there

 

Its probably going to be around $300-375 per dash; I can give you guys more exact numbers once I'm finished with mine.
It probably could be cheaper, but I'm running 4 layers of CF and 2 layers of Kevlar in mine for a nice 2 pc molded sandwich.

I doubt that it would be desired, but technically I could also fab a (2 layer) CF dash pad cover that could be epoxied down (not a suggested option, but an option still) for around $150 or so for just a cosmetic look.

 

That's not bad, considering the OEM replacement is almost that much already. I'll be wanting one after my stock pad finally cracks lol.

 

...

 

You can buy carbon fiber valve covers- I have some lined up for my 5.7 if I ever get some money! About $600 I think...

 

Definitely would be interested in a rear splitter like on NuffNuffZ28's car

 

wolfden products?

 

carbon fiber overlay for a 67 Firebird, radio bezel, headliner support rail

 

i'd want my subframe re constructed in carbon fiber, and then i'd get some sfcs and have the most rigid thirdgen around and not worry about rust anymore form the ttops

 

Chin has my interest!

Cost prohibitive for a 1 piece front end-- chin & bumper cover?

 

doors... just sayin

 

was thinking the same thing. Keep tryin to you the copy paste option so I can get nuffnuffs car but I still see my orange turd sitting out side... I'm not big in to ttops but I've read that the drip rail? Think it's the middle part that mounts to the car? Bet some people would love one that won't rust out

 

Ironically at carbonfibervalvecovers.com! Seriously!

 

Wow that's seriously kind of expensive; we should be able to do them for definately under $200

 

Depending on the mold we make, we should be able to get a decent once piece made for just a little bit more than a front bumper (due to having to make a separate mold).

 

Motobooks the thumb spots on that steering wheel are really great for when you are drag racing. I have a steering wheel like that just not carbon fiber and I love it. I didn't think I would but it feels right after you use it for a while

 

...

 

This one is actual carbon fiber and comes with the air cleaner and base too

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRO-141-790/

 

If you were able to make a full body kit for the Aero GFX, I would buy it in a heart beat...it'd go with my custom Turbo Iroc hood and Inferno Orange paint I have in store for my Z.

I'm sitting here looking at my junkyard fog lights thinking god I don't want to put them on my car couse soon as I do I know a rock is goin to hit them. What about cf fog light covers? That way when I go to a car show *not anytime soon* I can remove the cover and not show up with a busted lenses. I'd rather by a few covers then try and find another set of fog lights.

 

Some 82-84 parts :
- Aero front bumper inserts, the flat ones with the "TRANS AM" inscription molded in
- the base T/A ground effect and/or the 83-84 Aero ground effects
- the bowling ball hubcaps
- fender vents
- rear spoiler

I don't care much for the looks of carbon on interior parts, that looks "cheap" IMO.

 

Would it be possible to make a rear axle out of CF? I doubt the center could, but what about the axle tubes. Could that even work?

EDIT: Read that axle axle housing, no CF gears lol.

Possibly LCA's, front A arms.

I'm thinking reducing unsprung weight.

 

They said shoot for the moon.

So you pointed an rpg at the ground and pulled the trigger.

 

I woould mind for the 86 trans am the rear emblem between the rear lights,and fender,hood vents,and the wing, also good idea with the tt drip thing, the pop up light assembly would be sweet, mirrors,and the whole front of the radiator support,front bumper would be nice

 

Real mature, just like a *****.

I admit I don't know much about carbon fiber, but at least I contributed an idea.

 

Double reply.

 

i saw a carbon fiber dress up kit in my new jegs catalog and can i say i was dissapointed at the fact that it said "die cast metal with an adhesive backed heat resistant carbon fiber style vinyl" i understand they'd be alot more the 219 dollars for the whole air cleaner thermostat housing and valve covers if they where real carbon fiber but come on i could wrap my stock stuff in carbon fiber vinyl for alot less then 219 dollars, so i guess i'd want these in real carbon fiber, and the carbon fiber monocoque (spelling?) chassis from the famous levi garret camaro

 

Oh c'mon now, really ?

You should have just laughed, and shrugged it off, now instead of just not knowing anything at all about the idea, you are also a crybaby.

 

Again with the personal stuff and still no contribution.

I would have laughed if it had:

A: been funny

B: you had actually given yourself some credit by giving a reason my idea was bad.

Instead, I have to deal with an immature little ***** baby that is trying to compensate for his small apparatus.

Grow up, actually do something productive.

 

radiator cover, support
Upper T-Top console
T-Tops
air conditioner heater core fan cover,
A/C delete cover. = this one should be easy to do.
An intake like the HSR
Firebird / Trans Am hood / custom and stock
side mirrors

If you didn't have that stick up your *** you would have actually laughed. I did!

1. T-tops
2. Hood
