Just notice "new" sposor here anvilauto . They have pre notice of carbon fiber parts for 1 gens on their web pages. Does anybody have an idea what to look for ??
I'm glad my advertising dollar is already paying off with Lateral-g!
I should have production pieces later this week and we are selling everything at a 10% dicount if ordered before the end of September 2007. We will have 3 peices ready to ship including a standard cowl induction hood (2"), header panel (for '67 & '68 as well as '69) and a cowl panel with aluminum vent inserts that may be replaced with what ever custom screen you want to put in. The hoods are avialble in 3 varieties and prices depending on the amount of carbon fiber and include the under strucure like the original if you want to use a cowl induction system. The lowest priced hood has a carbon to layer with all other layers fiberglass. The highest priced hood is 100% carbon fiber. The header panel and cowl panel can be purchased in carbon top layer with fiberglass under layers or 100% caron fiber. We are still putting the finishing touches on our web site to accept credit cards, but it should be up later this week. In the mean time if anybody is interested please call our toll free number 888-723-8882 which is also posted on our site. Anybody who calls and wants any of these parts will be put on a prority list and get the 10% discount before the end of this month.
I also have first prototypes of a first gen Camaro carbon fiber deck lid and custom rear spoiler. I'm hoping to have production versions in about 2 months. I want to make sure the parts are right before we get them in production.
We will be making 2nd gen carbon fiber parts soon. I just bought Jason Wyrick's '73 Z/28 that is posted on member's rides on lateral-g. Just type in his name and you will see pictures of this already bitch'n Camaro which we will further transform into a light weight street fighter. For anybody who lives in southern California, I will have this car at "Cruisin' for a Cure" at the Orange county fairgrounds this Saturday, Sept. 22.

In addition to your body panels, have you have a nice market for interior panels too. Door panels, inner rear panels with speakers, kick panels, center consoles, etc. Also, if you made a nice CF gauge cluster for 67-68's to replace the flimsy Covin Classic one, that would be great too.
You guys must be reading my mind! I plan on doing a custom center console that is made up of several pieces so the consumer can further customize it by addding foam and leather to top area that come in contact with skin (like arm rests, etc.) and leave the sides as bare cabon fiber. Other areas might be begging for paint or aluminum trim. I am looking at Camaro consoles and other GM consoles of the era to use as design influence, but come up with a totally unique design. I might even include a cup holder or 2 if people say they want that. We'll definitely make a carbon I.P. (car design speak for instrument panel). I think the second gen has a nice I.P. already, so making a carbon insert is a piece of cake. The '67 & '68 aren't so bad unless you want to add more guages, but it's pretty simple, so it would be easy to make a panel that fits right in. The '69 Camaro on the other hand is a mess with that clock in the middle at an oblique angle that matches up to the overhang on the dash pad and the recessed guages, it's going to take some manipulation. I'm sure we can design something that is cohesive and functional. The thing that makes it hard to make an ergonomic design for the gauge cluster is that everyone wants to use a steering wheel that is much smaller than stock with a thick rim , so it's hard to see the gauges. For this reason, I'm thinking of moving the smaller auxillary gauges on the second gen out so you look at them over the wheel instead of inside the wheel where they get blocked by the rim on modern day aftermarket steering wheels.
