Just paint over it, install for weight savings not for looks

I love my carbon fiber roof and I'll love the doors when I'm done with them and the car is running again.

How about starting with what's already being made that looks like crap. Hoods with functional CAI intakes. Rear valence that no one else has done. Front lower spoiler that attaches where the OEM one does with clips that don't self destruct. It won't matter what it is... if it looks like crap it won't sell anyway. Someone posted a rear valence that never evolved and I thought it looked nice.

we are always working on new parts and have a few parts including the stingray z hood and tjin trunk that are exclusive to our company. As for the front lip i used to have one on my car and it lasted and didnt self destruct so not sure what your talking about...

as for rear valances i have posted about doing sideskirts and rears in carbon fiber and nothing ever happened with those so blame the cobalt owners not me!

The clips that insert into the bumper... When Mine arrived several were already broken off in the plastic bag. I noticed yesterday looking under the front in preparation for dismantling for my SC install another has broke. I'll post some pics of what I would be interested in.

I'm not blaming anyone and have never seen your products in person but would like to.

I would love that to be made but im sure they won't sell much due to the fact that you have to mod your exhaust to accommodate it

I have one for you.... A functional ram air hood scoop that can be bolted on to supply air to a CAI box. An opening will have to be cut into the hood of course. There are so many versions of this for the mustangs. Many are all under hood but we don't have room for that.

They used to make one. And I had it. Then they stopped making it. Was not functional though. The problem with making it functional is each motor available for the car has the CAI in a different location. And no one is going to make different variations of the hood on a dead platform. aesthetically though it is my favorite hood for the car. pays homage to the big brother camaro "ss" style hood.

Always was my favorite hood. Scoop was just the right size. Wish they still made them.

I like CF, I just hate when it fades and looks like crap. Most cars I see on the street with CF are all faded because the owners didnt treat it well, coat it, or know how to wet sand and coat it.
