Start my new job monday at an areospace firm, designing panels using carbon fibre and other such materials for airbus and apaches and so on. Once my foot is in the door was wondering how difficult it would be to maybe design parts for the coupe. Any info will be great, and could future benefit the coupe \:\)

CF has been discussed several times as an alternate material for everything ranging from bonnets to centre consoles

Might be worth having a look in the styling section, I'm sure there are a few threads down there \:\)

engine goodies, such as spark plug cover, injector wiring cover would be nice, as would be a full carbon inlet manifold, plenunm and throttle body.... \:D

seriously though the spark plug cover and things like that shouldn't be too hard to produce..
