Interest in carbon fiber parts?
A good friend of mine owns a carbon fiber (Real carbon fiber) business (G3 Composites LLC). He & I have been friends for over 10 years (In real life).
We're both enthusiasts as well, of course. All supplies are sourced from the USA & all work is done in the USA (He is based in FL)
I am posting to gauge interest on what folks may want.
I'd be happy to become a vendor if there was enough interest.
I just sent him several pieces from my Corvette that I should have soon. Can't wait to get them back.
Here is a link to some of the work he has done:

Thanks,
Tom

I feel like if you guys offered the weight of the original part vs the weight of the CF part, you would get more interest.
The main reason people want CF parts is to save weight!
EDIT: I was referring to the parts you guys have already made, I realize that may have seemed confusing when you were offering to make custom cf parts!

^if youre really worried about weight you go with fiberglass and spend the money saved from not buying boutique carbon fiber on other fiberglass parts to save even more weight

Added some (real) carbon fiber & two-tone leather goods. Carbon fiber center console, gauge bezel pods, rear hatch handle, climate control *****, passenger ac vent bezel, shifter trim, door lock bezels & door sills.
The carbon fiber is all courtesy of a good friend of mine, Alan, that owns a carbon business. Feel free to reach out to me if you need some carbon work. :banana:
The red/black leather shift boot, e-brake boot, arm rest cover w/extra padding & door pulls are courtesy of Redline Goods.
I say almost done b/c after he did all that I sent him a spare e-brake handle, button & seat back trim pieces to do so those will be in shortly. :rockon:
Now for the pictures!

a front splitter that doesnt cost upwards of $300 lol. Should be pretty easy to make since its just a flat piece of CF with a couple holes in it for mounts. Anyone second this?
