lol I'd like to think that carbon/fiberglass work is enough! I have a friend that works with plexi/lexan though and claims its not so hard. I might have to check it out!
CF Targa. CF Center console, not the lid the actual console itself. A full dash would be cool. Id like to see the clam shell around the steering column made of carbon fiber.
Most things that I can think of are already made by either ShineAutoProject, Zankoku, or Retro-Spec... I wouldn't mind an intake box to isolate the filter, but I would think that would have to custom made. I like the dash and door panel (interior anyway) ideas, has anyone made a center console out of one? Not like you'd be dropping much weight, but could look cool.

1 Company on Ebay does sell a center console. BUTTT I wouldnt trust fitment on it very much.

The various intakes available make it difficult to build one to suit all. There would have to be a specific intake or one of their own design with filter, which would be alright too!
It has been brought up before, there is a reason the dash is the way it is, soft. If you have a barley driven show car, a carbon fiber dash is neat. But for a street car, it could end up hurting someone in a crash.
By the way, what’s the temperature limits on the resins used for this stuff, I know that you use aircraft grade stuff, but for engine bay components knowing the limits would be good.

^Would be nice to have fiber splitters in your face! 
Font cut out, some type of light emitting thingie installed underneath

Oh, and in the Mk3 Font.

I'd kill to have a lexan/cf or lexan/whatever targa top. They used to make them for the Del Sol back when I had mine and I've always wanted one.
Perhaps a new cover for the glove box, and the covers for the steering column. Maybe some sort of brake ducting made to fit the bulk of the aftermarket lips made out of FRP?
Also a CF FFIM that just bolts up to the stock lower runners would be sweet.

Probably, but do you think it would be any worse than the wiggles you get with the top actually off? I could live with wiggles if the look and price was right.

x2, but something tells me that would be a bit pricey.
Only problem I see with making brake ducts is that everybody's offsets would be a bit different. Would suck to order a nicely made part and have to cut into it to keep the front half of the inside part of the wheel from hitting it...
I also think a JZ (1 or 2, 1 in my case) spark plug valley cover would be cool. I believe Retro-Spec is working on it though.

Exactly my thought.Reiketsukan;1681071 said:
I doubt it could be much worse than the targa itself - there's not much substance to them. Plus, I don't really care... If I had something that let me drive around with no roof, without having wind / cold to deal with , I'd be happy.hvyman;1681083 said:
I would LOVE to see the lower timing covers for both the 7M & JZ motors made, but in two pieces so they can be removed without removing the harmonic balancers. This would allow the timing belt to be replaced with very little hassle instead of having to tear the whole front end off the motor

oh, and a taller lower timing cover for 1.5JZs.....
