Default G35 Carbon Fiber Parts?

OK so I met a guy (CEO) of a company in the 949 at our meet this week that are interested in making products in Carbon Fiber for our G35 model. They are very serious about producing parts for the G35, with that said I need a list of ideas and who would be interested in buying. Some idea's:

~CF Front Lip (Any ideas)
~CF Rear view mirror holders
~CF Engine cover and batter covers
~CF Grill (Maybe Gialla)
~CF Body Kit (Which one? Idea's)
~CF Interior Dash (For stock or double din?)
~CF Wing (like which wing or idea's)

Any more idea's? Which item would you be interested in, let me know and we can start with the most popular and work our way down. Thank you for helping!

You pretty much covered it all. Making a CF lip similar to the Gialla or stock aero lip would be cool, as well as a CF wing similar to the Gailla wing. CF mirrors (similar to the Spoon's), CF interior kit (included for those w/ NAV), and.....(drum roll), a CF rear diffuser to fit on the stock bumper (doesn't that part at the bottom of the stock bumper near the exhaust tips come off????).

They already are! The dealer has the nicest CF set I've seen for the G35. It's not overlays, it's full CF replacements. I believe the kit goes for about $1200.00. If you're on So.Cal, contact Infiniti of Montclair.

i made a petition for a cf front lip on g35driver.com and got something like 20 replies, so i think an oem style cf front lip would be nice. CF gialla type grill would be nice as well.

It replaces more than the silver parts. It has pieces for the door as well, but I'm not sure how many pieces total. It's really a nice looking kit. The most impressive piece IMHO is the well crafted storage lid (for the non-NAV G35 owners) that resides in the place where the NAV would usually be. I estimated the $1200.00 price. I'm not certain the exact price of the kit, but you guys should check it out. It's better than any current kit that I've seen on the market.

Sounds good everyone lets keep this going and get some responce on what people want. I will contact my sourse and see what will start with and get the word out.

On the front lip:
OEM is the lip that everyone would like to see in CF? I will see if they also want to create something different also.

There is no IF, the kit does exist. Contact Infiniti of Montclair if you doubt me. I don't know if there is any link to pics of this kit, but trust me....it's a nice kit! I initially found out about the kit due to it being installed on a few G35's at the dealer when I bought mine. I was then informed by the sales manager about the availability.

Let us know if and when you find a comparable kit. I still haven't!

the problem with the CF lip is carbon fiber's tendancy to crack. the lip is an area that will recieve lots of scratches usually, and cf is not the stuff u want to scratch. lots of small cracks will start to build up in it, and then it will suddenly crack really big. it is unrepariable, unlike fiberglass.

the guys at the shop will probbly tell you this. but good luck.
