sounds like this would be up there in price lol. i would say both 89+/- that way for thoughs that dont like the 89-92 bumper can stay with the older style.

True but there would b a design for pre 89 also. Would b a nice package n it would turn a lot of heads

You can contact Shine Auto, see what they can do for you. I know they've done a lot of good things for me along these lines... hope your wallet is pretty fat though, to do an entire carbon Mk3 (I've considered and priced out what is on the market so far), you're looking at somewhere between 8-10k just in parts.

I think I have seen the hatch and fenders in carbon fibre (but thats wide body). Dont think I have seen door skins (nor do I want to really). Front and rear bumper are best left urethane if possible, but I have a fibreglass front so I suspect that carbon will be easy. The wing however, I havent seen. I have a whaletail that is fibreglass (could have been carbon). There is also a group thing happening for a carbon fibre raised hood (vented or not) in the forums as well right now. There are also carbon fibre targas floating around, but I dont want to mess with that
All of my side trim is now painted fibreglass as well but could have been carbon fiber. I just didnt want the added expense because its getting painted. My headlight covers are also fiberglass but could have been CF. A lot of it has all been done so far with Shineauto, Retrospec, and others.

I just dont really want to go CF or FG on anything that supports the car. The fenders are a "later" project when I can go widebody (maybe 4-5 years from now)

S2 doors are about 2500 each.

S2 doors are about 2500 each.

I thought that was for the pair? Ouch.

As for my findings, the only thing I haven't seen a CF replacement for the Mk3 is the main body chunk (rear fenders, b-pillars) itself. I was only concerned with taking weight off the nose, so from the a-pillars forward, that's all getting CF replacement panels (courtesy of Shine Auto mostly) and a battery relocation.
