Carbon fibre performance parts - need ideas
Looking for creative ideas
So I just got my hands on some carbon fibre equipment. Needing ideas for what could be cool performance track/drift/race parts to make for the twins. Not thinking large body panels for now, because all CF parts I can make are so far small to medium size only Picture for attracting attention |

Fog light deletes for the FRS, HVAC/radio delete block offs. Maybe headlight delete for an intake?

Splitter is big but relatively simple. Canards and hood vents.

That’s really cool, fog light deletes should be relatively doable (I hope ). And, plus, there can be a version for brake ducts made after The internal trim / covers should be super easy, haven’t thought about that, I love the idea. Would be a nice a first project Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Cool! Definitely splitter deserves CF (I kinda dislike how the stock one looks fake CF), but it’s probably too big for what I can make now. Building on the idea of hood vents, what if add some ducting to where it’s most needed under the hood? For example to coil packs (if it’s at all possible), I’ve experienced them overheating on a track. Or otherwise, to where should the cold air flow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

EDIT - I'm also definitely all in support of a cheaper, but stock looking rear diffuser. I hate the stock flat plastic thing. |

Wheel well covers. The parts you see visually from top engine bae. Carbon replacements instead of plastic flimsy wheel liner.

Not sure if this is too big, but what about interior door panels?
Like this: https://lrbspeed.com/product/frs-brz...m-door-panels/ but carbon fiber instead of aluminum.

Im all for it looking for ways to save weight if possible while maintaining stock functionality. That is if its not too big. Hard to think of smaller things, maybe glove box door could be made lighter superlightweight shark fin antennae the small triangle glass on the door in CF Any of the small brackets under the dash or under the hood, There is a fairly heavy one in the upper rear roof, could be made lighter The DI ecu brace underhood (already have aluminum versions out there) CF strut to firewall bars Bracket that holds ABS splitter underhood looks heavy. Battery tie downs for people with shorai batteries Any of the non-structural supports for headlights/radiator support
