Default carbon parts interest?

Hello,
A friend of mine is currently working on some Carbon Fiber parts for the 350z, and I am wondering if there would be any interest in them if he brought them to market....
The following Carbon parts are in the works:

mirror covers
factory mud flaps
hood
rear deck lid
custom wing with foil and side plates

Any interest?

Interested in Carbon Hood, and Wing.

Can you please elaborate on the "Carbon Deck Lid"

Is this preliminary marketing, or is there a design already brought to fruition? If so, PICS!

no, the first piece has to be bonded together. as of right now the bottom (inside) is glass, and the outside is carbon, we may experiment a few different ways, details will be available soon. This stuff takes a while to get going....
