Not like it would matter anyways, no one wants to make **** for these cars. I've already tried getting carbon stuff made for the LSJs from many different companies and no one would do it.

Not a big fan of cf stuff on Cobalts really. I can't really pinpoint why, im just not.

However when I sell my car in spring and get my black RX-8, its getting an Umnitza carbon fiber intake, JIC-Magic carbon fiber front/rear strut bars and a CFWerks carbon fiber engine cover. No exterior carbon fiber though, just under the hood.

hahaha. true. I realized it a few days ago how big they really are...try to unlock your car by pulling the lock tab instead of pushing unlock button. You actually have to turn around to pull it.

They already exist. Georgian Bay uses them on their Koni Challenge Series cars. A few people tried talking them into selling them to CSS and they said they'd think about it.

I have pics of the carbon door around here somewhere. We went to the Mid-Ohio Koni Challanege and they had a regular door and a carbon door up against a fence and the carbom was about 10lbs. You could pick it up with 3 fingers. They also said a company out of GA makes them and if demand was high they would see about getting them for us. I wasnt a fan but what got me was the carbon front lip.
