Default Dry Carbon Parts

I am looking for Dry carbon doors, hatch and fenders. Does anyone know who makes these? Looking to lighten the car.

You'll be hard pressed to find dry carbon parts in Japan, let alone in the states. There are a few company who make hoods, but they are very expensive. Seibon had debuted a "dry" carbon line-up at SEMA last year, but nobody has really heard anything since. If I remember correctly the hood weighed 9-10lbs and cost between $2,200-2,400.

Here's a good way to look at it as far as weight savings..
Wet hand laid hoods- weighs 19-21lbs and cost $400-$550.
Vacuum bagged carbon hoods- weighs 12-13lbs and cost $1000-$1100.
Pre-preg dry carbon hoods- weighs 8-10lbs and costs $2000+.
