Keep dreaming for cf body pannels. The only thing i can find for my trans am is the doors and I've been looking for months.

There's a company called illstreet composites in n.chas

[chrisheltra]

Started looking for a small flat piece for a little project and found these guys that can do fenders/front bumper cover/hood/tailgates/bedsides.

Wes can you talk about your dealings with CF companies (if any) and what several body panel would cost?

thats because theres just as many s10's at the track as fox bodys

You say that. But only one company offers those items. If I had a square body i could find them all day long. Hell, I can't even find a decent 2" or 4" fiberglass cowl hood. the CF hood I found was stock style.

I have only dealt with Schoneck. Parts for my mustang are common but carbon fiber parts I bought recently were:

Hood $1150
Front bumper $1150
Hood scoop $750

That doesn't count shipping, fitment, paint, etc. carbon fiber is expensive.

I also bought a 9 pound battery that saved about 36 pounds for around $1200 with the charger.

How much was the total savings in weight after all the body panels were hung?

How hard could it be?

[ForceFed4g63]

Chris are there any other things you could lighten up first? Like any drivetrain parts? Driveshaft, etc. I would think that would be a lot cheaper with the same results.

There are so many other things I could do. The CF panels will never get done but its fun to dream.

THAT CARBON FRONT END IS SEXXXXXXXY!

[Matts94Z28]

That front end looks nice! Big money I bet.
