Default CRX Civic Carbon fiber goodies

I,m going to be making some carbon fiber parts for the CRX and Civic. I,m only going to make parts that reduce weight. I,m making a drag racing dash, pretty much a place for gauges and switches.
Also thinking about the middle tail light reflector, and glove box.

Give me some more ideas, again things that will reduce weight and are not made.

Door cards would be great, an easy one I did was the "triangle" corners on the rex..they came out sweet. I would like to see a glove box done or the cluster hood.I need the e-brake console too.
as far as the sunroof...Vision made them( I have one).

How about hood for CRX to enclose/cover a B22 engine, 2.2 liter. It sits up way higher than original engine.

Guys talks about saving weight but only wants to do glove box, gauge faces and taillights?? All those oem pieces weight about 5 pounds COMBINED, your carbon parts would proably be heavier

Want to save weight?? carbon hatch, carbon hood, lexan rear windows. 125 pounds saved

Make a Carbon Fiber roof cap and dont go out of business the next day......seems that is what happened to the last 10 companies leaving a bunch of us high and dry. Make a mold from a non sunroof crx roof so us si guys can delete our sunroofs and gain head room. I would definately buy one and drive up to pick it up!!!!!!

Thank you daveb91!!!! I want to know whats good to make. I,m in the process of finding a crx roof to make a mold.
Thank you B16_CRX thats another product I will be making.


All the haters can keep it to bull to themselves. This is a technical forum, not a "here is my opinion" forum.

Just fiberglass a layer over your stock skin and ditch the sunroof and motor, you could probly do it for a hundred bucks

Daveb91 has the right idea...carbon fiber roof panel. Replacing a rusty one with a carbon piece would solve an issue many of us have. In many racing programs it is required that the sunroof hole be covered with a solid piece, metal or other. CF would be a great application.

On the business end, there should be a big market and they should be reasonable to produce and ship.

Good luck!
