So pretty much all CF on the outside since it would greatly decrease the weight of my Z28... Of course I would get a nice see-through coat of green since that's my favorite color and that's what it is now... I was just wondering where I would be able to get such stuff... I've seen a lot of rice with it but after hours of googling it, I found nothing for Camaro's besides hoods... Anyone have any ideas of what could be done? Of course this wouldn't be for another few years (hopefully not that long but 70% chance it will be) but I just want to know for future reference... Any help is greatly appreciated =D

You can check eBay for carbon fiber panels for your car. I have found OEM Hoods, front fender's, rear hatches, spoilers, and even the back bumber bezel piece which says "camaro". But....unless you plan on getting it painted, it will look ricey. And by painted i mean a full coat, not that carbon fiber tint ***** that makes it look green, blue, ect. This way the car looks OEM but it lighter.
You need to be careful tho, unless you do body reinforcements you could twist it a little bit. Some of those parts keep the integrity of the shape of the car, u put parts in there that are lighter and "weaker" (even tho carbon fiber is pretty strong" and bump up the power of your car, your could crack and twist panels.
Most imports that are worked with carbon fiber have extensive body reinforcements (roll cages, strut bars, subframe connectors)
for a DD it aint worth it.
