New Carbon Fiber parts for 997 are coming!
We are still working with the supplier on pricing and delivery dates, but they have done a TON of parts in carbon.
Hoods, spoilers, exhaust surrounds, sill plates, intake grilles, interior trim, etc.
Let me know if anyone has any interest in any of these items, i will post more pictures.
More information will be posted as soon as I have it!

I just got off the phone with a glass company ordering a replacement windshield. Now I'm thinking I should cancel and order a carbon fiber windshield. Can I get one of those?

What's the weight and how does it compare to Aluminium hood? Also, do ppl need special latches to hold it in place?

But with that you're taking weight off the wrong end.

It's just accentuating the great handling characteristics of the rear engined chassis.
As far as I know, it uses stock latches and hinges. I will post more information when I have it.

i was thinking about this. In the GT2 rs, the hood is CF and the front fenders can be had w/ it also for a mere $8,000.
Let us know what other bits are coming. tks
