A good friend of mine currently runs a carbon fibre and fibreglass factory.
I asked him the other day if he could custom make certain parts for me (with personal touches), we then started to discuss what items could actually be carbon fiberized.
So he’ll needed to 3D scan it, make modifications in CAD, and create a mould out of it. I’m very proficient in CAD and 3D modelling so I can help make various modifications to any parts.
I thought it would be interesting to toss this out here to see if we could get some good ideas going. This is going to be real solid carbon fiber weave in a matte finish. And not those fake plastic cover printouts on eBay. I know some may just like the feel and utilitarian look of real carbon fibre, myself included.
I do understand this might be the wrong vehicle or forum to do this, but surprise me. Feel free to toss some new ideas if they aren’t listed in the poll already.
Our initial goal is to gauge interest to see if there is enough market to produce one of the product here that can cover the cost of R&D, manufacturing and material cost.
Below is a sample of what he makes.
