I'm going to bring up the center console trim as well. I know you can get CF applique kits, but all applique kits look like crap. A properly molded *replacement* for the trim would be really nice.

I would really like to see a cf sunroof plug as well. Getting rid of even just a few pounds off of a structural point high on the chassis can create a surprisingly positive change in the cars roll motion (less body roll) when cornering. I would see no problem spending around $300 to get one. All it has to do is replace the glass and not leak, it doesn't need to pop-up nor do anything fancy.

+1 for sunroof block off piece. all it will be is a 34 1/8" x 14 3/8" piece of cf, with some curve, and with 90 degree overhang so it can rivet on the overhang of the hole, not on top of the roof.

oh hey i thought of somthing else.
could you please make some big canards? preferably voltex copy? i cant find any big enough to add any real downforce, and the real voltex ones are far too expensive. also if you could make a cheap front undertray that would be cool, but they already make a few of thoes. finally, if there was some way to make a rear diffuser that would be cool, but it would probably cost a ton, but just thought id throw out out there. canard pics (pleae make these!! ) |

KA valve cover? I'd buy one for 300-350.
The cup holder for the ashtray I would buy right now. My ashtray lid broke.

i would like to see a CF second DIN cover for people who have aftermarket CD decks and that "empty space" on the bottom. would be convenient if it had 1 gauge whole and a square cutout for a turbo timer, or SAFC harness to go through....
kinda like this but with 1 gauge whole.. willing to pay like $100 |

lv-180sx - That is just a Flat Panel mounted in place. Its best to offer that way so customer can cut-out whatever they want.
kandyflip445 - Carbon Fiber Valve Covers are awsome and rare as hell. They are hard to make and take major skill. The Part has to be vacuum molded then aluminum added as a secontary bond for mounting. The problem with most is that the epoxy doesn't fully bond to the aluminum so when your installing the shims will break free... very tricky part. sbc - without doing a full carbon body you have the same problem as above... Cost would be crazy not only for the part, but to install! evrae205b - Shifter and Radio Trim are possable... The AC is not. The vents break so easy and to remove and install on a full carbon piece that has no flex would make near impossable. In the end would cost more than people would be willing to spend. The AC Gauge pod would be more reasonable. chmercer - looks simple enough as long as its left as a universal unit so customer can trim to fit. I only know of one company in Japan that make a true Rear Diffuser for the S13 and S15 (similar to the Top Secret). gmckey, anthony240, BSPerformance - I'll look into it further to see how plausable it is. Siizzzoooo - all you had to do is ask... I can get anything out of Japan not just what is listed on the website. Jeff240sx - I think Border has an aluminum one that relocates and Billion just release one also... relocating is your best option and a Heat Shield which willbe in the mix soon hopefully. You guys should know by now that I don't do Knock-offs... its not an option. Peace Drew

my vote goes towards the sunroof too. I dont have one but that would def. generate sales. I would like to see someone produce some carbon fiber overlayed mandrel bent intercooler piping personally. This would be nice looking AND functional as well as a heat barrier. That would be a universal application and not just 240s. Im going to have to vote for underbody diffusers as well in carbon fiber. Dash would def. be cool but I dont think I could spend that kind of money on one. Cupholder would DEFINITELY sell and be a major plus for the s13 made to fit in the spot of the ash tray. That wouldnt have to be cf as it would also be wrecked easily... Maybe make that out of fiberglass instead. I can see the glovebox selling and being a good idea... What about reinforcement bars? I.E. Good strong carbon fiber stbs and c pillar braces? Door sill guards are a good idea and depending on price are a possible thing I would purchase. Maybe make some DIY cheap cf parts for people who want to use it to make something like CF tubes, etc. Maybe a center garnish cover for the s13 fastbacks stock tails (kinda like the rps13 one for kouki tails) if you made the b pillar replacements it would be something to spark my interest as well. just tossing out thoughts...

Hey you guys carried a full S14 interior door panel replacement in carbon before. Its no longer listed. I think it was 900 for the pair. I would be interested in that and a full carbon dash.
Another part I am interested in is a carbon panel shelf for rear seat delete. I don't like the big hole to the trunk and also the funny shaped area under the rear seats showing when I remove the seats. A good carbon shelf with some hard foam to reshape the rear into a shelf for putting lightweight stuff would be cool. A full carbon headliner would be interesing as well. |

Zen S14 - FRP Limited went out of Biz. Interior Door Panels are being highly considered. Headliner was mentioned bit think shipping would kill the cost... about the same as a hood. Rear Seat aera was mentioned also... someone made this in Japan but I dont have any info on the comapny... It was in one of the Option Mags.
tastyratz - If you want your IC piping done in Carbon let me know... It will needed to be sent to Mike to be covered. Support Bars like C-pillar and a Harness Bar would great... probably be stronger as an Aluminum/ Carbon covered bar. That is possable. Peace Drew

+1 for the steering column gauge pod holder.
my suggestion would be a rear lip for the usdm s14 bumper.. no one makes one. only valences. i want a full lip across. just one piece to match my kouki s14 side skirts. make cf roof spoiler too. copy whoever makes it and make it cheaper. |

how about a usdm s14 kouki front lip. Just like the stock one, but carbon. An s13 zenki style front lip to fit the chuki.

For my S14, I would pay 700 for a custom CF dash. It should have 3 gauge holders over the AC vents built in (52mm that can be bored to 60mm). Buyer would have to cut hole for airbag or pay extra for this service. Or else a 3 gauge holder that could be mounted to a stock dash over the AC vents.
The radio trim should not have any cutouts, but could come pre-socred or marked to help locate the stock DIN cutouts. The steering column gauge holder would be great, but a custom part would be even better. I have a Momo wheel, and don't like the way the steering column is now bigger than the boss. I would love a custom, upper and lower "slim" column cover kit with integrated gauge holder(s). A 2 pod cluster bezel replacement would be good. I want to get rid of my A pillar pods but have not yet found an OEM looking option for my LHD S14. BTW a European company sells the CF A pillars with pods for LHD cars. |

Steering Colomn Gauge - I smore than likey going to be a unit to hold a Turbo Timer or a small Half Din unit... this way the Cluster view is not obstructed... this would also be a full upper and lower unit to ensure fitment.
S14 (USDM) Front Lip - I believe this may be in the works already as well. Hopefully try to design it to work with both Kouki and Zenki. Hoods and Trunk - This is alreay being designed... I can't talk about it but its not going to be like anything you have seen yet. Full Carbon Dash - I think its one of things peple drool over when they see but only a very few people would actually pay out for one... highly considering this... we'll see. A-Pillar - Personally I dunno to do it with or witout the gauge pods because it caters to the person who wants a set number of gauges or not. I would prefer to keep this as stock. Peace Drew

Most people wouldn't consider it because they don't have the money. But most people in s13's have cracked dashes. lol There could be a market for them.
