Good ideas but as you know, the cost will dictate the market size. Dealing with body panels, I assume the cost will be significant and having them painted/finished will be even more $. If these are going to be cosmetic upgrade pieces (wider fenders, complete new design, etc), then you may be on to something but IMO you will get a lot of interest, but not many sales. Replacing a panel of X material with CF while both looking identical won't justify the price in my opinion.

I'm not trying to deter you from moving ahead but there are fewer and fewer folks willing to dump money into the 4th gen platform. Sure you will see plenty of guys dropping in a new engine with a big $ drivetrain setup but I see the market for CF body parts being slim. The only name I see pitching body parts for 4th gens is 6LE and I think he has a tough time moving those pieces.
