Carbon Fiber Hatch, Roof, Nose Panel?
 
After searching around for a bit I haven't found any pics. I read a bit of threads with talks of group buys and was wondering if anyone went through with it or found someone that does make them. There is a lot of carbon fiber parts on ebay from mirrors, hoods, kidney grills, gas doors, to sunroof panels. Do a quick search and see what I mean. I just have not yet found a hatch, or roof panel yet. I know the nose panel is a bit greedy but it's just a thought. What ever the case, If anyone has any info on this subject including Names, links, PICS, anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:confused:

the reason its probably not done is because there isnt as much demand, no company is going to make the mold to only sell a handful. Prices would be through the roof. Also, with all the little issues with some CF hoods, I can't imagine trying to make a CF hatch fit, let alone add in the glass, etc.
It would be sweet, don't get me wrong but unless its a custom job, I highly doubt we will ever see them "for sale" anywhere.

I did read in one thread about Vis making one at $500 a piece as long as the got 25 were ordered with 1/2 down. I've owned 5 different hoods so far from Vis and I've never had an issue with fit or finish. 2 b5 Audi A4, 1 eclipse, and the Ti and an e36 coupe. The one on my Ti bolted right in with all good gaps. It is in a bit of rough shape from an encounter with a deer as of now, but I wouldn't hesitate ordering another from Vis.

it's pretty expensive, and you can't use the shocks because the carbon fiber isn't strong enough

Thanks. That is way expensive. I am a believer in "you get what you pay for" but that is definitely a bit much.

yeah, they have kind of a monopoly I guess, they're the only ones who make one
