Default Feeler: Carbon Fiber Hoods / Body Panels

I am talking with a company that does Dry Pre-Impregnated carbon fiber in creation of some CF Body panels for the C6. Not this cheap wet-overlay CF but F1 technology dry lay.

Im trying to guage interest in the following body parts:

Hood

Rear Diffuser

Front Bumper

Front Bumper w/ Z06 look.

Rear Bumper

Hood + "Bulge or Opening A-La Z06"

I would be very interested in a Z06 bumper that fits a normal c6 in carbon fiber, as well as a rear diffuser that is NOT stick on carbon fiber.

WIder carbon fenders would be cool if yuo can paint them so you can put larger tires on it


Also alex there is one huge item that i think if someone can make them will sell tons of them!

The Black fender insert plastic peice that comes on the C6 z06 that protects the inner fender paint!!!
What gm did not do this on the c6 is beyond me !

What is really needed and well within the the abilities of most forum members to change is the intereior center stack bezel. Probably sell a butt load of them if priced right.

Hood + "Bulge or Opening A-La Z06"

That would interest me but I am a year away waiting for the A6.

Rear diffuser maybe, also the center stack maybe. Mostly depends upon the cost.

Thanks

In my opinion, the Z06 bumper should be left to the Z06 to set it apart. But hey, that does not sell aftermarket parts and that is how you make money. So, if guys are interested in buying them then go for it. I might be interested in the hood bulge.

Would prefer it to be paintable...a CF hood on a painted car, even though it's CF, looks ghetto. Like a ricer with 4 different colored body panels rolling down the highway.

I would also be interested in real (non-overlay) interior trip replacements. I've always thought this to be a pipe dream though...

This car would look good with the interior carbon fiber bits. I saw that apsis has the overlay stuff and there is a picture on their website of it in white. I would want the real deal however.
