I guess that might look a bit EVO-ish, though.
I was thinking somewhere along the lines of:
Full door panels, and a panel of carbon fiber where the seat used to be, which wouldn't be that hard.
OH and some thick carbon fiber stuff for my spare tire cover. Reason being that I took out my spare tire which makes that particle board lose its shape if you put weight on it, well now it is fully warped and if I could get a thick piece of carbon on there I dont think it would sag so low anymore.

So far the best Ideas for carbon parts to be made that are NOT currently produced are:
RS style hood for FMIC setup- bugeye to current
Rear seat delete panel/cover- GC8 to current (This will be made first)
Roof skin- bugeye to current
As far as door panels go, what are people looking for? Inserts to replace the fabirc portions? The plastic around the controls? Complete door cards?
I was loving the idea of Carbon fibre dash/center console, but it would be quite expensive and little demand.
Carbon fiber and fiberglass doors are already made overseas to my knowledge. They are really expensive, as manufacturing is complicated and the demand is low.
Please keep the Ideas rolling if you got em'
Keep in mind parts that are not currently offered and would be in damand by many.

From: Project still undergoing. keep out!!!
with all the cf for door panels,center console etc. how about a "a pillar" for 50mm & 60mm? i dont think anyone have made this yet. if the left a pillar is cf y dont u make the right too? i would rock those if u guys make it.
[list]
1. cf a pillar for "50/60mm".
2. door handle or wutever "outside".
3. gas tank cover.
4. speedometer for any apps "60mm for the left and right and for the center is (rpm gauge)"
5. outside "betwen the doors" the plastic. u can make that as a cf
hmmp.
that would b nice.

Ok I would like to update my list...
-The full door panel for electric windows and door locks
-Rear Seat Delete
-Rear Deck (where the rear seat meets the window area)
-Front Under Tray (where the plastic tray is now) or a not so aggressive front splitter
-Middle Tray: on race cars they put under trays on to have a full flow under their cars. . .
-Rear Tray: It was featured on the Vishnu Race Evo, I think it would be cool to have on WRX's
-Rear Vortex Generator ? That was just a random evo-inspired call
Cheers,
Rush
