Guys, check out the sail panel thread in the appearance section: https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...ummies-78.html

Post #1556

These sail panels/roof combos are just so big that shipping for the buyers would be OUTRAGEOUS. The sail panel by itself will be a pretty penny as it is....but the Sail Panel WILL be offered in CF.

whattttt... I read that they will only be available for T-top... wheres the Hardtop love? Ill pay extra to get a hardtop version!! And I live in so cal so i dont need it shipped

Fair enough on the 1 pc roof.

Just get on the carbon bumper covers, front 1/4's and doors with operating windows. Get a set made and on a car, and take a ton of pic's of the before fitment of the stock parts and the ones that you have made along with weight's, and the install job to put them on.

You do that, and you won't be able to make them fast enough.

All you have to do is buy our t-top roof and our targa roof and then just fill the seam when you paint it

Door panels would be sweet. Or any other panel inside out of carbon fiber...knee panel under steering wheel, dash pad...

We were looking into the battery relocation kits but are wondering why it is a need in the market when this is available...

Dont see a cut off switch and rod, also there would have to be a clear way of shutting the car off when you use the switch. Has to be NHRA legal.

^^It is not a problem at all as our guy already does that for Mercedes and some other high end cars...

Just need someone local willing to do it AND pay for it to get the ball rolling...

I know you mentioned not getting into the dash pads due to shipping, but were you talking about the whole dash pad/cover, or just the flat section between the main dash and the windshield? I would love to see those offered in CF & FG. Mainly CF. I know they would have to be packaged well, but they would sell as quick as you could make them. There is NO aftermarket option that I know of. Stock plastic ones just break again within a couple years.

We looked into CF years ago but the glare makes it damn near impossible to see out the windshield...

what about headlight setups for transams like the ones on the original firehawk? Should cut a nice chunk of weight off and help with aero at night.

CF door panels !!!!! with some kind of a color matched handle, simple and light!!!!



CF knee panel! It weights a few pounds, A lot of guys run without it I would buy a simple CF cover for it that was lightweight.

Actually I was looking into making a plastic lid so you could just remove the entire headlight setup (for the track) and bolt this headlight lid in its place for appearance...
