Carbon Fiber Body

I have been looking around for carbon fiber body parts and I am haveing a very hard time finding any thing other than the hood I know for the civic you can get doors fenders they even sell a carbon fiber roof. I am trying to conver as most of the car to carbon as possable have the carbon drive shaft but i am haveing problems finding other parts if any one has any idea of a location where I can find these items you would be my hero. I really dont want to just paint it to look carbon I know the get the solid fiber look I'm going for ill need to paint a few things and makeing it look real is a simple process but im conserned about weight as well as looks.

Re: Carbon Fiber Body

vis makes a cf hatch, and if you have the removable roof you can get a CF replacement panel. Thats all i know of.

Re: Carbon Fiber Body

Race-on-usa makes a carbon fiber hatch(I wouldn't recommend going through them though)- http://www.raceonusa.com/index.asp?P...OD&ProdID=6772

Cianci makes fiberglass widebody fenders(not carbon fiber, but they look damn good)- http://www.cianciusa.com/exterior/fenders/3000gt/

Cianci makes a carbon fiber sun roof as well- http://www.cianciusa.com/exterior/sunroof/3000gt/

For a hood/spoiler, Deft Racing has a pretty good selection- http://deftracing.com/3000gt_stealth_index.htm

Re: Carbon Fiber Body

There are actually CF doors made (I think by Kaze, but could be mistaken) but they are VERY expensive and I would not reccomend them for a street car.

Re: Carbon Fiber Body

Thanks guys very helpful I did not expect so many anwsers so quickly a removable roof is not a problem thats what they made saws for. I understand that things lilke doors are going to cost an arm and a leg but I want to do all out on this one. I was given a link to a site and was told not to use them can I get the reson? Thanks you all are very helpful I did not expect the results I got.

Re: Carbon Fiber Body

Raceonusa is utter garbage. Thats why you shouldnt use them.

As for the roof, you cant just cut yours to use the CF roof. You have to have the large factory sunroof. Just cutting a hole isnt going to work.

And for the doors, you are looking at paying around $2000 per door.
