Carbon fiber "___?___"

What parts would you like to see made in carbon fiber for our cars? (7th gen) or otherwise? I'm gathering information for future reference...

I'll start:

I'd like to see a fuel pump panel in carbon fiber for our cars.
I'd also like to see a real carbon fiber side view mirrors, not those ghetto fake carbon ones.

what do you think would be nice in carbon?

· Center consoles

· Pillars (all, including pod types)

· Steering column top with pods

· Engine dress up parts, like reservoir cover batter covers and fuse covers

· Plastic on the side of stock seats facing the doors

· Overlays for the cracking black window trim (typical issue with Hondas)

· Door inserts (no more carpet)

· Roof liners (both 2dr/4dr with and with out sunroof)

· Outer gauge bezel surround

Here is some custom stuff I've seen:

DAMN, that is just so much carbon fiber, it seems like overboard to me.

Punking- that gauge cluster in the carbonfiber dash, which is that?

you can wrap those interior panels yourself. you just need some resin and carbon fiber sheets and patience.

That's funny, because I was seriously contemplating how to make a seatbelt with the carbon fiber look the other day. The only way I could think would be to take an existing seatbelt, and sew a polyurethane/clear rubber saturated strip of carbon fiber on top of it. I don't think you could ever use real carbon fiber strands for a seat belt, given that the individual tensile strength is much lower then that of a tightly woven nylon belt or other material.

There is a such thing as carbon fiber cloth. Work your needle. Would be pretty easy for the fronts, back would be a few more bolts to access. But really, if you wanted to cover the nylon in c/f material, it wouldnt be hard. I'm sure you could figure out the buckels

but for clarification, it was rsx type r, or rsx type s?

I know I've seen an R34 carbon fiber kit, but I can't find it any more, along with Z3 fenders and doors. I'm really considering doing a 3/4 carbon fiber car but I can't find any of the stuff anymore... I guess the CF shortage is causing a whole lotta problems....

But yeah I'd love to see a slip on CF dash similar to the fiberglass 1 they were selling on ebay a while back, and definately full door panels.
