can anyone make CF pieces? I have an idea.

First i want to apoligize if I am annoying you guys with all my new threads

I was in the garage looking at my car... I just installed a CF lip and was looking at the hood. I love Carbon fiber but i don't want to over do it... I think CF hoods look good for some cars, not all. So getting to the point. I think if there was a CF replacement piece for the "grill with the washer nozzles" it would look good with out "over doing it". you comments please... also does anyone know who could make this happen. Is there even any interest for this?
see pics below.

i personally would rather paint it, cost you much less and well, its not something thats WORTH spending time/money making a CF peice.


but then again, with enough money, comes results

I believe someone painted that part black and it looked good...He has a silver car with a matte black front grille and has the grille on the hood painted black also...

CF is already on the way out. It has become all too common. Auto designers are moving away from unpainted CF interior parts. It's not a great look for a classic looking car, IMHO.

I think Cf has just recently(last few years) found it's way into the high end car market. I hate to disagree, but I do

It has been around for a while but then, so has wood!

In '93 Audi had CF trim in the S4. This is about the earliest that I can recall CF being used in a mass production car non exotic).

The 190e "sportline" had c/f trim from the factory if I remember correctly. It also had red piping on the leather seats.
