We were thinking of starting up a carbon fiber part manufacturing business as we have came into a bit of money. I was wondering if we were to go ahead with this how much business we would get from son240, we would produce full carbon fiber interiors, hoods, air dams, splitters, etc… Do you think this is a good idea or no? ---

I’m for it - carbon fibre has came down a lot in price, I’d be interested in a hood, hatch (I am already) - but I’m positive it would be a good market for you > [@I'M FREE!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111ONEONEONEoneoneone](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/im-free-111111111111111oneoneoneoneoneone/3826/88): > > We were thinking of starting up a carbon fiber part manufacturing business as we have came into a bit of money.

all the body parts = win, interior maybe the dash and door trim/doors. Business here? I don’t know… maybe. I’d be interested 😃 I’m assuming you are local but check [www.nissanroadracing.com](http://www.nissanroadracing.com), if you cant register pm me your info and ill get them to let you in. Certainly lots of guys who’d be interested there for track cars and whatnot. This would be very beneficial for local canadian guys though vs importing crap from down south. ---

hood, hatch, tail light under garnish maybe??? door skins. front lip, side skirts, rear skirt. i’m in. i just paint everything to match the colour of the car. not a big fan of the look of CF. but all those parts swapped saves quit a bit of weight. DO IT! Best of luck. ---

I would be down for doors, Silvia hood and interior pieces if the quality is good and the prices are reasonable. As for the size of market here in Canada, I would says it is rather small. You would need to sell your stuff to the Americans if you want to make money. Most people here in Canada are poor/weak. ---

I’d love some 50mm wide s13.5 front fenders 🙂 No one makes that in FRP even if im not mistaken… :-/ You could definetely makes tons of business in ontario if you started releasing copies and/or original body stuff locally in FRP and carbon. A real widebody that extends width of doors connecting front and rear, that would be pretty bad ass that would land you business here and in the south too. ---

Just picked up a Seibon hood for mine to match my hatch…priced out doors too but $2500 per door, that’s more than what I paid for my car! I would be interested in more interior trim pieces though! ---

ya seems like enough people would be interested. but like people are saying its all about the final cost vs quality. definately body panels and minor interior if done right. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/240-carbon/122140.md?page=2)
