What on a scion XB would you want made out of CF? i don't care if its the cup holders, the engine cover(cheaper and top top quality), panels, entire rear hatch lid, hood, fenders, bumper cover or just lips, wings, body kits, dash surrounds, door panels you name it. Look the xb over and tell me what you'd like done. I'm bringing my xb over to one of the top cf/fiberglass companies in the US to look it over and come up with ideas. We'll then retail them with very good pricing

CF hub caps baby! naw but what would be nice is the center dash piece redone in CF and made to look butter. Oh i dont know about anyone else, but a CF xB badge would be cool too.... I wunna keep in on there but i want it to be very suddle look.

One thing i would LOVE to have, ppl at work call me an idot when i told them, but a CF hood or even FG hood, but i want one w/ a Impreza or WRX style scoop on it.

I dunno, just a few idea's

I want B and C pillar overlays that cover the whole window frame, not just the pillars.

How about a CF muffler and/or tip.

CF gas door replacement, not just an overlay...

everything your replying about i'll bring up with the company. This guy does CF complete chassis bodies(ie...Chris Rado's celica etc). Sorry for the cross post...i was attempting to make the info known to those who would be interested in it...not shove it in performance section etc. I'll be more careful from now on in.

I think the whole center dash is doable as long as we keep it not looking spotty by doing a panel here and a panel there.

This is all based off what he's able to do or if he's willing to do alot. I'm hoping he'll do many things instead of just a panel here there , cf engine covers, hoods, lips etc.

We've already made a custom front bumper with wrx fogs built in...wait til you see how that turned out. Thats stock plastic/resin though.

I've already got a CF toilet seat in my pimp bathroom...

I say a CF headliner. They're getting popular.

You should just make the entire car out of carbon fiber, i'm sure there'd be a market for it if you sold the parts individually. People want the hatches, the fender, the doors, the bumper, the lip, mirrors, interior everything, seats, floormats, I could go on.
