For those who like CF what products would you want to see made?
 

engine covers, intake, interior trim, shift knob...what? just curious.

personally reasonably priced interior trim would be nice.

Driveshaft, half shafts, RS4 front fenders, maybe a modified airbox(but dunno
 

if its worth it), intake manifold, cheap RS4-sized ypipe, RS4 bipipe/tb.

Turbo

Intake manifold

Y-pipe (larger cheap) Drivelines, airbox + hump + CF pipe to replace dryer hose
 

Another hood option which is weather friendly and functional (WRC style) or one that slightly bends up in the back , to take in all that high pressure air in front of the windshield.

Bipipe/TB is a good one too

CF half-shafts?? I doubt that's doable.
 

Just from a packaging standpoint, you would need a rather large diameter shaft to get the stiffness you'd need. Durability would be low unless they could make them VERY high quality.

The first B5 body A4's had composite drive shafts so it would be easier to get it from one of those cars to buy it from a company that makes them already.

2nd the nice interior trim

RS4 front fenders, trim, engine covers, intake, door sills,

Heh, most of that was tongue-in-cheek. It's possible though, and of course you're
 

talking high-quality. The shafts we have now are solid steel. Not an optimum in any case, stiffness or strength. It wouldn't be hard in cf to achieve the stiffness since the inner 1/3 or so of the steel shaft is doing basically squat. I don't have a good picture in my head right now of the room we have to play with either, but it certainly isn't easy or cheap.

The A4 shafts don't fit. Tried that already. ;)

glove box, cup holder

Turbo!???

RS4 or S4 front lip. Like the M3. That would rock!

crack vile?

Re: Y-pipe (larger cheap) Drivelines, airbox + hump + CF pipe to replace dryer hose
 

all covers in engine bay including battery/ecu area cover

what would be reasonably priced? for interior trim?

vile? lol, learn how to spell fool, its vial

$200-300

good luck. I just got full silver cf interior ... nothing close to that.

from where? pics?
 

good luck? im not looking for a vendor :-)

nono ... just saying that cf isn't cheap. Unless it's the sticker kind. haha
 

I actually helped prototype the interior for the vendor.

Once I get the dash pieces put in I'll post pics.
Parts in silver cf are:
all the OEM trim including hazzard, ash tray, and shifter plate.
steering wheel
seat backs
inside door handle/window switch plate

Fit's like oem too

;)

very nice, make sure you post those pics
 

yeah i know cf isnt cheap, especially to do it right.

so what company will be offering it to us? price range?

Wish i had a vacuum pump and an autoclave at home :-)

Front and rear fenders that are as wide as the RS4's but mate to the S4 bumpers/doors.
 

I would order them tomorrow if they were anywhere near semi-reasonably priced.

Key fob shell. ;)

Thats a project that Ive been wanting to accomplish for a while now. I need a mold! (more)
 

I have access to stuff much better than CF or kevlar or anything commercially available. Just need the mold. 11 to 13 times strenght/weight ratio of hardened steel. It can be made with some resilliance so that it will absolutely never brake, chip, or deform. Anybody has good carving skills in order to make a custom mold? I was thinking to put some kind of clay on top of a sacrificial S4 fender and then mold from there. I would also need an aluminum skeleton with all the mounting points. Any other ideas?

I don't sling rock like some people....

WTF???

Engine covers that *aren't* $500...........

Belly pan.
 

Nice and light!

I was thinking about a cowl induction hood and I just can't see it looking "right"
