What would people like to see?
A carbon cover panel for the pass through to the trunk?
Some kind of Rack?

One thing to keep in mind is that the stock rear seat cushion in a WRX weighs less than 8 pounds but when it's removed, road noise and the constant sound of fuel sloshing around in the gas tank is the first thing you'll notice. The foam in the rear seat cushion acts as an effective sound deadener and you won't get the same effect using a carbon composite panel unless you resort to Dynomat or other insulation on the floorpan first.

for a 98 RS
make a cf hood with an integrated grill, so there is no line between the hood and grill.. it would look sick. you could do a mini grill to the side for the intake too

even though kevlar isn't as light or stiff as CF, any exterior components (hoods trunks wings etc) you could do with a colored kevlar/carbon weave would look hot as hell
I've used this stuff before (though not on my car):

it looks great but kevlar is a pain to cut through

How about the armrest part of the door and the center console; they would look sweet in carbon fiber.
Does anyone have a picture of the impreza with a real nice interior. It was from an auto show about a year ago when the 05's were coming out. It was done in suede (headliner, roof, steering wheel, dash) and the door parts (armrest, grab bar) were carbon fiber; that is what I would like to see.
