Composite panels any thoughts?

[d5hef]

I am currently considering commissioning some carbon fibre bonnets and wondered whether there is much interest out there for this type of product. I have identified three bonnet types that could be produced:

Boxter/ 996
964/ 993/ 911
924/ 944

with the subtleties between the models addressed at the time of manufacture.

There could also be two different finishes available, one with an extremely smooth ready to paint finish, and the other in plain carbon fibre weave (for those that want to show off).

Thoughts as to possible interest in these bonnets is sought.

This stems from wanting this type of product for my own car.

P.S. I am not a company touting for business, just a Porsche enthusiast wanting the views of fellow enthusiasts .

Sorry no information on prices yet. Obviously the larger the batch size when produced, the cheaper the parts will be. Once I have understood the interest and can estimate numbers I can feedback to the manufacturer and obtain approximate prices.

Thanks for the response

Thanks for the feed back chaps. I have been down the glass fibre route on my 924 race car. I find it to be not very strong and quite thick compared to the original metal panels.

I accept that carbon fibre is probably going to be relatively expensive compared to the original metal panels (certainly 996/ Boxter and 924/44 bonnets are currently very cheap). But for those running GT/ RS cars probably financially less of a problem?

Can anyone point me towards manufacturers that make c/f bonnets for the previously mentioned models? That way I can understand what people are having to pay, and what price I would have to get the manufacturer I'm talking to down to, to make them financially attractive.

Thanks Again!
