Carbon Fibre Bits

Hey all,
Ive just started a shop up and have guy that does custom carbon work.
Just wondering what the interest would be in getting a carbon bonnet with
a WRX style scoop. Now before anyone flames me, its not going to be as
big, but that sort of style. I basically want to use the advantage of the vertical T/B. As well as the bonnet there will be a custom intake box. It will sit over the T/B with a high flow Trust foam filter on top. When the bonnet closes. it will form a seal around the air box. I.E, a ram air effect. All that is going to cost around $1600 AUD. Yep, thats the catch, I`m in Australia.
For a carbon boot lid your looking around $900 AUD. The more you want, the cheaper it`ll be. Just testing waters, so please give me any feedback you have. Oh, one more thing. It can only be for the sedan as that is all we have over here.
For pictures of there stuff:

Cheers-
BEN

You guys are sooooo lucky you get the Skyline series there!


1 Aussie Dollar = 0.689723 US$ soooo....
900 AUD = $620.711 US
1600 AUD = $1,103.38 US

So you're talking about a custom carbon fiber hood with a scoop for 900, and an intake system that works with the hood for 1600. Or does the intake and hood come complete for 1600?

The boot lid will be $900
The bonnet + scoop + intake will be $1600
Remeber all prices are a lil rough right now, but should be pretty close

As for the Skylines...just too many!
Most of the ones that are around now are imported anyways.
You can get a GTST R33 for like $14000 fully complied and in your driveway.
Thats heaps cheaper than buy a domestic one.
