Carbon fiber parts?
Does anyone know if carbon fiber parts wil be a dealer option? If it is not, what parts would you like to see made of carbon fiber? I'm thinking the rear spoiler would look nice

Considering that this car was made to be cheap, CF options would drastically change that.
TRD does have that beautiful CFRP Strut Brace. It's pricey though...

What about aftermarket? I'm trying to gauge interest in what parts people would like to see in carbon fiber. I know a manufacture that can produce cabon fiber parts and want to know if it would be worth it

Flat undertray, "real" diffuser, body panels, seats, dash?
I would love a carbon dash... How much would that save? http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl...9,r:3,s:0,i:80 |

Do not see a point unless you wanna bling bling your car a bit
Hood and trunk are aluminum already I believe so almost no weight savings for price CF duckbill would look sexy tho

I was considering a Siebon CF hood. We have one on the TC in our showroom. Super light. But hearing the FR-S is coming with an aluminium hood, I've changed my thoughts.
One thing I would love... Oh... wait a minute. $12,000!

I would like some "real" carbon fiber to replace the phony carbon fiber on the dash. Would look good, but probably pricey.

Ideally it would have aluminum or reinforced plastic front fenders, an aluminum trunk, and a carbon fiber roof. But as far as I know those parts are all steel on this car.
