What parts would you like to see made in carbon fiber?

Ive been doing alot of searching and there seems to be several c/f parts available for our cars but what would you all like to see made in c/f or c/f parts youd like to be made and sold less expensive.
What im thinking is, if we get a nice wish list together of c/f stuff that we would like to see, maybe one or two manufactureres would make most of the parts and offer multi part discounts and generally be able to sell it cheaper due to volume. Just an idea.. lets hear your thoughts.

It would be pretty sweet if the seat backs on the factory seats were done in c/f.

side vents, w or w/o strakes option and maybe some kind of package where you get vents, rear valance, and something cool for the front to tie it all together, like maybe an oem stlye front lip. (like the appearance package one)

Real Quality CF anything for 1/4 the cost of all the other sellers. Cheap price, for quality goods.

I'll take just about any interior part, but I think the sail panels (the little triangle thingies that cover the tweeter on the door corner) would really set off a well customized interior

PS: my sail panels got a little jacked up during my audio upgrade so if anyone can point me to where I could get a second set please let me know!

I talked to DG Motorsports the other day and suggested a front lip.. They thought it was a good idea and would look into it. I offered to send them my front lip as a guide and was told they would get back to me..... I guess we will see
