carbon fiber parts

ok so here are a couple of things im looking into making for the mini's and wanted to see if anyone esle is interested

1. pure carbon fiber sun roof covers, basically im sure im not the only one that feel like when i want to shut my cover to the sun i hate that the sun still comes though that perferated fabric, so what im thinking is make a sheet of carbon fiber that is cut to be removable, so if you wanted it in there you could slide it in but if you wanted to open the roof you would just remove the piece. price would be around $130-150


2. pure carbon fiber intercooler cover im going to attemp this with in the next couple of weeks- price would around $200

the sun roof cover is more for the inside you would close the little perferated piece then slide the carbon fiber piece in, and i would make it big enough that it would slide faily easy but wouldnt just slide out

I dont see it possible to slide the cover. the shade rolls up. so it seems like it would have to be a piece that you simply lay in the sunroof just to block the sun. and pop it out whenever you want to use the sunroof. Still would love something like that. the door panels look amazing. EXACTLY what i need to finally lose all of the patina pieces i have! how much??

basically what you would do is close the roll up piece , i will cut a groove for the clip button in the front and you will be able to just slide it in and out
