Default Carbon Fiber Designs ideas for xB and xA?..

The reason I'm posting is I need ideas for future production of carbon fiber products anything you think of would be helpful.
Any thing at all from wings to interior stuff we are designing new products but we are running out of ideas.
We wanna see what you guys would like to see on your rides.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thank You

An Open Deck-style grille would rock.

FFF would definitely be awesome and something for the speedo would be pretty snazzy.

A CF bumper protector would be a good seller.

Front face finisher or aka FFF http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...oSELLS4200.jpg
http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...ELLS4200-1.jpg

And The super RARE TRF GRILL let alone in carbon fiber I want this bad !!!
http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...ortlinelip.jpg

And these head lights http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...62/KGWorks.jpg in carbon fiber or a rear view mirror that looks like the back of an OEM mirror but the size of a (i think) 55mm JDM Broadway mirror.
That and the center console (cupholders, ebrake, etc.) as well as the inside door handles and these cool looking wing splicers that go on top of the fenders and have never been done.

Here's how they look http://www.newscionparts.com/index.php?id=31 any of these parts would be awesome

probably a stupid idea, but I spent a lot of time around my seats this weekend, maybe those covers for the bolts and side plates on the seats?

what about some weight reduction? can the top slab of metal that makes the majority of the roof be replaced with CF? i may be taking it TOO far here, but that and having the rear fenders/top-edging/windosheild-edging all in CF too, that could help in performance terms, making it a little less top heavy.

would really like to see a CF OEM from cosmetic bumper piece *i personaly like the stock trim, keeps it clean looking*. also, rear cosmetic OEM bumper in CF aswell.

also, could try doing replacement interior enforcement on the seats. all them metal back pieces and whatnot could be replaced with CF *that is if you'd like to keep the stock seats*.

as for engine cover, front fenders, hood, rear hatch, rear spoiler, fender flares *i think* and some trim finishes, you can find these at racingsolutions.com i believe the site is.

Although it may be extravagant in carbon fiber, and it probably would not save weight, the cover for the spare and compartment in the back of an xB would look pretty slick. One could even consider redesigning the small compartment under there to get more storage space. Possibly even adding secret compartments for smuggling. Just a thought.

alreay got plans to do that i'm thinking about having my sub enclosures *once done in fiberglass* made in CF. not sure how i'm going to do it but it'll be half the weight of the fiberglass and then i thought about doing the new floor board in CF aswell but then it wuld a bit overwhelming on the CF. was thinking CF enclosures and FB floor board with that black Rhyno truck bed liner stuff for the paint, or have it the other way around, CF floor board and FB enclosures with the liner stuff.

but that is true, the stock stuff would be lighter if not the same weight so it's more of a "looks" thing really. same with the engine cover i think, the CF engine cover is heavier then OEM, but barely.
