what about the airbox that sits just under the bonnet that sucks the air in it's quite long that would be great in carbon. also fuse box. what kind of prices will we be looking at? and how long will it take you to get these made?

mate one thing that would be a massive help and i am sure others would agree (i hope)
a carbon cold air sheild / box for a later shaped classic, if you could create a box rather than just a sheild between the engine and k&n, you know what i mean liek a sheeild with a 90 degree bend then run it over to almost touch the wing then posslby all the way or there abouts to the front light, think that would look the nuts and i am sure people would not mind paying for this as i have been looking for ages to find a place that sel them but have had no joy so you would have one sold

was thinkin of making like one thing that lots of people would really want but doesnt cost much and alot less than what the shops are selling them at like fog light covers, fuse box covers, or if i could get hold of an old alternater cover i could mould covers out of it. il make a poll and in a week il see what is the most popular and il make it

The whole car! Few years ago in a mag had an integra type r in full carbon fibre, interior also, even the seats were made from the magical weave. Bit of orange highlighting here n there, it looked great!

well if i could get you a mould done i will, i woul dhave to assume that there should (hope) to be lots of classic owners who are running induction kits with or without fmic pipe work, which may be the only concern to it.

i am not sure how easy it is to work with carbon fibre but if you were able to produce a box which to into account for the induction pipe work would it be straight forward for a person who bought one to be able to cut a hole out for the fmic pipework if needed?

regards
