Anyone know anyone that makes them?? or have any pictures of them? I reckon they would look pretty cool.

Have a look at these sites

http://www.carbonjoe.net/

and

I have talked to Joe a few times about bits. He is a good guy and posts regularly on German Look.

He is doing a silver coloured fibre now that looks pretty cool

By any chance, does he do bumpers too ?

And a new dash would be great also..... (now I'm just dreaming!)

Any idea on $$$$ ?

Pretty sure he would make any thing

Maybe check AC.net or look through GL.com
I know AC.net is offering hoods/bonnets/whatevers. Might do bumpers as well

I'm getting the rear stone guards, they are only $40 American. The running boards are $225 American so they will have to wait a little while.

CARBON FIBRE IS EXPENSIVE BUT BASIC PARTS ARE VERY EASILY DONE. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN CARBON PARTS LET ME KNOW AND I'LL SEE IF I CAN ORGANISE SOMETHING FOR YOU, IT'LL PROBLY SAVE YOU A FEW BUCKS TOO.
not quite ready for carbon fiber running boards yet......... but am intersted in them some time in the future

how about a whole carbon fibre shell? *drooling noises*
reckon it would be legal? would it matter if it was coated in paint 😉?

I once saw a vidio at nimbin that had a car, that the body had been made out of Cannabis resin, they were hoeing into it with a 14 pound sledge hammer, and it was just bouncing off, made no impact marks at all, how many plants would you have to grow to make that much resin.

mate NFI on cost for whole car. you start with material cost, then go from there. with whoile shell you need to make complete car plug, which is done in plywoon, the mould c.f into it, hard but doable, i wouldn't pay what ppl would ask, but if you g=had the cash it'd be fun. it'll be cheaper if you supplied the material too, but we may get it cheaper threu ppl we knopw.
fenders are an option too, already had a possible request for one set. no harm trying i spose
