didint think about that do you know off hand IJ? i know theres one made for the mk4. thats why i was thinking about it.

Dunno it was just a thought ;)

Electricity + anything conductive that's bolted to a ground might be bad.
(I'll leave it up to whoever makes the parts to do some research BEFORE making them)

ya ill look into it. thanks again IJ. alawys having the smart logic. but if anyone can chime in so far my list of possible items depending on price and if enough people want them is:

-dash
-center console(sp?)
-door panels
-89+ trim
-headlight covers
-possible cf hood(in design)
-b pillars(probalby for a hardtop unless i get more taraga people intrested)
-radio trim
-one guy told me to look into mirrors but i dont think it will work out. just because of the design and i dont see it being a big hit
any other ideas anyone

To help IJ out I would definately be interested in pre 89 trim. Mines starting to get that new wave effect that looks oh so appealing.

Hey nice CF stuff. I bought a CF arm rest not too long ago myself. I would def b interested in the door sills and the headlight covers. If you're not selling them anymore do you know where or how I can get some CF parts or the contact info of the guy who made them could Thanks.

Well I have recieved the whole arm rest Ill take some picks later the only thing wrong is the armrest lid is made from the shallow cover (meaning cup holders wont work)
The only thing I could complain about.

ok ya ill be looking at findind a spare set of headlight covers off like a parts car so i can get them to the guy to get some cf sets made. depending on what they say im going to see if they will show me how to do the work. so in the future i can just do the work isntead of ahivng to source a outside source. but ill set something up with them before to have them make the parts. the only problem i can think of with making my own cf parts is making the molds. idk what you would use. granted there are materials to make the products not stick to the mold. but theres so many ways you can do it. i like the vaccum bag way the best. anyone have a idea how to make a mold in case they wont do it i can work on parts for us. and for the vaccum source i wonder what to use. or like how to make it so the resin doesnt all gets out of the mold and doesnt create a excess. anyone feel free to chime in with ideas

i think im jsut going to cancle making the vented headlight covers and just use those to start the products. so far the shop has not called me back. i might jsut try and make a mold and make my own and see how it works out. anyone know what would be a easy way to make the mold. i was thinking of trying to create like a fiberglass replica. and than lay in the cf weave. pour in the resin and use the vaccum bag method and vaccum out all the rest. anyone want to chime in on how you get it so the excess resin doesnt stick to the product? and if fiberglass would be a good way to make a mold?

I'd like a center valley plate for the middle of the head outta cf. Someone else was making them awhile ago, but no longer I don't think. Preferably with provision and mounting points for a cop setup...
