Carbon Fiber Accessories - Looking for Feedback

[protodelorean]

Most of you have seen my car and my work with fiberglass and carbon fiber. I've been working on several replacement accessories for the Delorean in carbon fiber. Some of the parts listed in the poll are already in production, some are in the prototype/mold making phase and some haven't been started. I'm throwing this out there to get a feel for where everyone's interests are. Feel free to ask questions and thanks for your feedback!

Hyperlinks to DMCH's catalog in case you're not sure which parts I'm referring to.

By "already in production", do you mean already for sale? Out of curiosity, which ones?

I always thought the rocker guards/ground effects would look good in carbon fiber. Especially if you're already doing the front spoiler.

Hey Shep. Molds are already complete for the Battery Cover and Shifter Surround. Still working on some of the hardware that will come with them.

Molds for the Jack Storage Cover and Brake Servo Cover are in progress. (These will not be simple flat plates like the originals. They'll have raised frames and ribs for "strength".)

Hmmm. I'll need to take a look at my originals. Because of the size, these wouldn't be cheap. Do you think it'd be worth it since they're so low on the car. Would people really be able to see they're carbon fiber?

[Kenny_Z]

The same could be said for the battery cover and brake servo access (if the carpet is used). I think if the stock shape used some standoffs to push it out enough to cover the underside of the car that can be seen then people would be able to see it's carbon fiber. I'm sure I'm not alone with people asking if I'm missing a rocker panel or something as they point out the rubber grommet cover for the seatbelt bolt. If it was an aftermarket style ground effects kit the I'm positive that people would notice.

If I had an unlimited budget for something ridiculous, I'd make a full set of carbon fiber body panels.

How awesome and silly would that be?

Probably save 5 pounds from the stock grill. Inside door handles would be another way to save weight and back off the force on opening the doors. I would be interested in door handles just for the weight. Probably not the grill because of cost.

Inner door handles? Are your made of cast iron instead of plastic like the rest of ours? I must not be thinking of the same part.

You never removed the handle (part you pull to close the door) have you?
