So the next question - you want to show off the fibers or have it painted?

Painting is easy so I'd leave that up to the individual lunatic.

If the sky was the limit I would make a CF and honeycomb composite tub. Since it would be stupid expensive I would design it in a modular way that would allow subcomponents to be replaceable. Went off the track tail first into a wall? No problem. Remove the visibly crunched tail portion and send the rest of the tub for an ultrasonic scan to check for hidden delaminations and such. Replace with a new tail section and reassemble. Painfully oversimplified but the sky is the limit. :cool:

the epoxy does not last if exposed to UV in sun light
the actual carbon fibers donot degrade

they make epoxy with UV filters
but it is weaker then normal epoxy and costs more
and the filter effects also degrade over time
so it just lasts longer before degrading
paint is the long term solution

I'm thinking '89 non-sunroof M491 chassis. Specify rear flare width at the time of the order!

Almost. '89 non-sunroof M491 TARGA chassis!!!

Seriously though, what might be nice is the backdated heater bits to make 3.6 heater connections to our earlier cars without hoses everywhere.
