What would you want in carbon fiber?

Yes, this is relevant as the most popular item may indeed become one of those group things that the men upstairs don't like us talking about!

And oh...I think hoods may be out of the question...so don't post that right yet. Keep it somewhat smaller than a hood.

Default That would be sweet but ouch $$$. And imagine a fender bender...
Maybe as time goes by and CF becomes cheaper (I hope) we may see more of it...Audi is already far ahead with their uses of Aluminum.

Default I don't think that's possible. Leave Hoods and the like out.
We're talking a bit smaller.

Although CF body panels would be niiiiice ;-)

R4R? ;-)
