Real Carbon EvoX Hoods and Parts

Just checking to see if there is any interest in carbon hood, fenders, ect. for the X. These, if built will not be the low quality import stuff but built by the guys that build F1 and Indy Car parts. If there is enough interest I would consider building the tooling. If produced they would be available at Buschur's we are starting on some EvoIX stuff now.

I don't have a X yet, but I assume the interest in these would have a lot to do with the difference in weight over the stock hood, which is already aluminum. On previous models, carbon fiber hoods usually weighed a tiny bit more than the stock hood.

Unfortunately a lot of people loved but didn't buy the nice, super light weight ones that were made for the 8, because of the price.

I dont have a X, but I was looking at one last night, and I have actually thought this from the beginning, that a rear CF "diffuser" for the lower part of the bumper would be HOT, as well as the under side of the wing, and definately the front grill, replacing the plastic with CF would be friggin hot, especially on the white....

There will probably be a good demand for a CF hood and trunk. IMO, CF fenders that replicate the Concept X look (i.e. slightly beefier) would totally rock. Most of the demand on fenders will probably come from folks looking to stuff insane amounts of rubber under there.

As long as the prices are reasonable, I'd be down for:

CF Hood
CF Bumper Trim (middle section)
CF Fender Inserts
CF Trunk
CF OEM Wing
