Carbon composite parts?

Hello everyone. I run a composites shop in Missouri. we mostly make carbon fiber racing parts and bodies for dragsters but also do other carbon parts for other industries. All of our work is high end. I am curious if anyone is looking for any highend parts for the G that may not be available now or the quality just sucks. pricing would be much higher than your standard chinese part so Im interested to see if people would be willing to pay more or not? Feel free to share any ideas. Thanks.

Hahah g35 drivers for the most part aren't willing to drop a crapton of cash on parts, especially not just lighter body pieces. You would have much better luck with cars people use for track than the style/bit of performance that suits a g35.

the only thing of real benefit (imo) would be a drive shaft... there is a company here that will do it but they need to destroy and OEM one in the process... I'm not willing to let my OEM one go (as a guinea pig).

If you can manage a 1 piece cf drive shaft, Id definitely be interested. For reference, the place out here said it would be $1100 (a better price point would be good too )

that, and some under body panels, there has been a bunch of ppl that came up on these forums with ideas about getting something made. Last guy was from Cianci Performance IIRC and it never materialized, if someone could FINALLY make this happen, that would be great.

we cant make driveshafts because we dont have a filiment winder. However our sister company sells them for the drag cars. Theses ones would not work for our G's, howerver I could inquire about getting some made if theres enough intrest.
