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

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?

I meant stock diffusor. So yes, both splitter and diffusor on the list for later, when/if I have equipment for bigger size parts.

I figure the trim panels/deletes would be great for drift bums who remove everything, but need a frame for gauges/switches that they could cut out. The brake ducting would be neat, I think another company makes them already. Something really out of the ordinary but super cool would be carbon fiber seat belt covers. The part of the red button that you buckle into. I feel like they're neglected. What kind of a cool look would it be to have them in actual carbon fiber? Surely you could just wrap it, but what's the fun in that?

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

Just to give everyone here an update, will try to make a radio cover / delete, so the middle part and also the right part of the dash. Seems like a doable first project

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

Please!

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
