There is a guy in Arizona that was willing to make a CF Roof cap but needed 5 to justify making the mold... We had 2 at the time and was looking for the other 3. I beleive the price was going to be around $400-$500.

How about you make the black plastic bits out of carbon fiber. That would probably look good.

Those make the most sense, finish off the carbon hood with a great grill!! And some headlight rings which I know Mike was or is working on...

My biggest thing was the fenders... I didnt put them back on my VIS CF hood cause i thought they detracted from the new look... Fenders and side skirts would be awesome!!!

Yep, you are correct. There was a group buy a while back for the product introduction. I've got a set of the door handles & they look great.

Oh really??? I wasnt paying attention when that went down... for now mine are just black along with the headlamp rings and gas cap... Need to order a bunch since i also am a carbon fiber nut job!!!

So whats the verdict on making a new piece of carbon for the Mini???

You know how when you do a CAI mod and you can remove the airbox?? Well on mine cuz it was TC'd, I cut the ECU portion off to make room for the filter and intake tube... How about a Carbon Fiber ECU box and Cover???
