If Karl can not get something going out there in CA, no one will. Just takes time (and lots of $$$)....

Thanks everyone....

Sorry I have not been able to move this along quite as quickly as I would like. It is very difficult to get anyone to make things for our car. They just don't see the demand/ROI.

As far as CF goes, this is going to be VERY difficult other than one off solutions. It takes lots of $ and time.

That said, I do have someone I am working with that can make parts. We can offer the CF overlay on them and even Chrome (only certain pieces). However, I am slammed with work right now (I have been on the road the past 7 weeks) I will try to have an update within the next few weeks.

My personal goal is to have some things done in time for Crossfires Across America. If nothing else, I will let my car be a rolling showcase for some of the parts. That said, I will be planting, feeding and watering very carefully a new money tree in my back yard... LOL

Maybe we could start small something that would be easy to make and not so expensive. A cf hood seems like a lot of work. How about starting with mirrors or similar defuser as the oem mopar design? I really think you could generate a lot of interest in a defuser. The mopar part is a pretty ugly cheap looking piece of plastic but has sold so well due to a lack of options. The design itself is good. This would be a good start with mirrors

Mad Med already did the carbon fiber hood. Very well too.

Thanks for the good words....

Unfortunately, trying to get this done is more than a full time job. There are a couple members that have really poured their heart and soul into this and have found it is far more difficult to get 3rd parties to work with them.

The best solution is to have someone already in the industry making parts for others to realize the potential sales. I've done my best, but at this time I will leave to the "young 'uns".

Made my own rear defuser out of 1/8 alum sheeting, and then wrapped in carbonfiber.

I would buy this in a second, as well as a reproduction of the Startech front spoiler for the n/a bumper. I would paint them to match my car, so c/f woudn't be needed.

I'm still shocked nobody has attempted it. It seems like it would be ridiculously easy to produce. No complex shapes, no tight corners...

My wife had a big ulcer whole in her stomach. I had a full carbonfiber splitter at home bad fit on our car, but the smaller oner will work. Also the rubber lip spoiler will work all over the car.
