Actually, I find that the “not too perfect” weave alignments give the panels some sense of character and proves that it was hand made, not some “perfect-faux-paint-up” carbon-look work. Even the most carefully made carbon parts will have very small amounts of “cosmetic imperfections” whether you see them or not due to material handling in the manufacture.

Regarding Ego13’s comment:
“Uncle B: No one cares about making a sports car eco-friendly. If it is, cool, but I’d rather have a nice mean sounding exhaust over some silent electric whine any day of the week.”

With the way the world is going, the days of the “traditional” gas-guzzling sports car is numbered… Even the top manufacturers have signified a move to being “greener” if they are to survive in the long-term future. As an example, BMW have signified development of smaller displacement engines, but with forced induction. They have massive R&D in diesel engines as do Audi and Mercedes. F1 have long-term regulation plans regarding alternative energy (or high-efficiency engines, alternative fuels, etc.) as do other well known GT series like Le Mans, where turbo-diesels have dominated recently… so on and so forth.. after all these are at the fore-front of technology… and the proper use of technology, with the right amount of initiative, will save us all…

They do care… and so should all of us.

Peace and happy motoring (“,

The lowest priced examples I’d found were from revozport in Hong Kong with front and rear clams for USD2100 each (parts only of course). They also do various other parts as well in wet lay. Their quality is ok(ish) but personally I’d want to spend more in the future to ensure the quality was fantastic rather than just settling for this.
I have bought parts from them though and their service is fantastic but now I’ll be buying the rest of the bits from UK again instead as the finish does not require any tidying up or the use of a dremmel.
Certain parts, such as the full doors seem much harder to find with Japan and Italy seeming to be the only places to get these. With the same being the case for the sills, these don’t seem to be readily available (especially with these being bonded to the chasis extra caution is needed here)

[...] V. Now that you’re thoroughly depressed, I’ll show you something cool. There’s a guy named Jimmy Wong who tools around Hong Kong in a carbon fiber-bodied Lotus Elise. TW Auto Limited did the swap, which apparently shaved somewhere between 30-40 kgs off factory weight. Very cool. Hit the link for a photo. [Source: Carbon Fiber Gear] [...]
