[carbonbydesign.com]

Do you have any ideas on what carbon fiber products you would like to see be produced?

[NOLAchargerRT]

Trunk, spoiler, front and rear fascia, fenders, doors? lol If it saves weight and is structurally sound I'm all for it!
Even for those who don't like the look of CF you can always have it painted to match and save the weight.

hood (new design, not SRT), trunk and spoiler integrated, shift knob, door pulls, handles, etc.

[krcossin]

Bottom engine cover to replace the plastic with more defined air flow, or how about new suspension components like F1 to replace a-arms, steering rods...

[36 chambers]

mirror covers would be a big hit!!!!

[zxe003]

carbon fiber intake manifold.

[FreebirdSRT]

The Carbon Fiber SRT hood is saweet, on the Bee. I saw it on the Bee at SEMA, slick.

You also need to make a roof applique (entire roof and cut out for sunroof option) in Carbon Fiber. Similar to the one Grip Tuning makes in Stainless steel for the 300's.
http://www.griptuning.com/showProductAction.do?partNum=GT5-6003%20ASR

http://www.griptuning.com/showProductAction.do?partNum=GT5-6003%20A

Also a similar one piece for the top of the trunk lid and rear of the trunk lid, in carbon fiber.

You can get an entire Carbon Fiber race look with hood, roof and trunk pieces.

I agree with others. Real carbon fiber pieces for the interior.
Shifter, Door pulls, Bezels, dash kit, etc.

Under the hood (a carbon fiber intake manifold would be slick indeed)

I have seen carbon fiber finished with a color (example yellow) mixed with the black and gray colors of carbon fiber.

Can you do a carbon fiber finish in color to match more of the wilder paint colors of the Chargers?
Red, Yellow's, etc.

[fatchance]

I've been researching Carbon Fiber, and I can say these guys produce the best. I've seen some poor quality out there and have personally seen their work on Sam Hubinette's (National Drift Champion) personal ST8 Charger it was top notch.

I agree 100% on the quality of CBD's products. I had quite a few of there products on my last car and they were all top notch and held up excellent over time. If I ever go the carbon fiber route with my Charger it will definately be CBD getting my money.

On that note I'd also like to see a CF intake manifold, similar to what is offered for the Mustang.

Another idea that some may like would be CF grill crosshairs. I think that would look good with a CF hood. Maybe a CF chin spoiler and rear diffuser similar to the Mopar parts, or as covers for the mopar parts.

[NOLAchargerRT]

PS how about a nice roof spoiler or body kit?
As nice as a body kit would be it would be in a price range VERY few of us would touch if most of the urethane or even fiberglass kits cost around $15-2500 for a full kit, it would be insane for an entire kit to be CF when a radiator cover cost $400.

[merlin1]

id be down for a shifter knob, and the regular dash kit

Can you do the engine cover in HEMI orange? Similar to this . . . .

[DeamonCharger]

Body kit would definately be sick, but not practical and oh so expensive. I have a Ducati 999S that's, now, solely a track bike. I bought the CF body for that, I think I paid 5k for the body, and another 3 for the tank. It's amazing how light the kit is though. I know the entire kit, sans tank, was lighter than one of the main side fairings. God....I need to go riding.

Just make a carbon spoiler, so it can match a carbon fiber hood, and I will buy both. But make the spoiler raise just about 2 or 3 inches.

HERE IS MY DEMAND LIST:....LOL

1. Trunk lid-Interior cover
2. Engine bay--Anythingin the engine bay area lots of things to be covered or replaced with CF.
3. Shifter-Carbon Fiber
4. Carbon Fiber Lid for center arm rest? Think it would look ok? Different.
5. Rear air diffuser and maybe front chin spoiler.
6. Door panels? I hate the 2 tone Black/Tan look.
7. Visors
8. Sunroof wind deflector.


Almost forgot 6.1 style half covers but for the 5.7 Priority #1 for me. lol

[Miccar]

How about an SRT8 carbon fiber stick on emblem for the dash panel above the glove box? Also how about a carbon fiber door panel insert. This would be about two inches or so thick and fit from the door handle back.

I would like to see some carbon fiber Door pulls...I think they would look awesome... I have seen it mentioned on this thread several times with no comment.

I have also seen several people want the Nav radio bezel along with the shifter bezel and nothing so far..

Are we going to see any of these parts ?????

If not then please tell us so we can move onto something else...

[snatchss454]

How about an SRT 8 rear air diffuser, a non carbon fiber one would probably be better. I dont like the RT one.

waiting for answers to questions........................................

[carbonbydesign.com]

Due to a low yield during production we discontinued the Radio Bezel and Shifter Bezel. As far as other products go, we are working to get a couple of new items up as soon as possible.
Door pulls, yes we hear you, and want to make them. It is not as simple as it appears at first, and there are some complications to building show quality pieces. They are on the list of parts to produce however.
The lip spoiler in the future? Short answer is YES. The long answer, we are not sure if we are going to do one like the R/T stocker or a whole new design. The Charger is by no means done being developed here, it is still an active car we are working on.

How about a regular Charger hood?

[portz007]

I would actualy like to see cabon mirrors, a carbon spoiler and a carbon rear difuser or even carbon eyebrows for the front headlamps and some carbon taillamp accents and maybe a carbon lip kit for srt-8 bront bumper would be sweet too

[j.a.m.]

Definatly a cf spoiler preferably something different
Hopefully in a drag wing style similar to the 3 piece but longer
or better yet like the $2000 dollar skyline wing that sits about 2-3 inches of the trunk but the sides of the spoiler hugs the rear of the vehicle
ill post pics later. by the way i plan to purchase the c/f hood this month

[j.a.m.]

The first one can be improved by making a solid wing in the drag style.
My favorite would be the white one if you can make a similar one for the charger in fiberglass or carbon that would be awesome

[BlueKnights]

Louvers and '08 Viper style hood for Chargers.

[R/Tdrvr]

[jimmyhoffa59]

maybe a longer, or streatched front lip like the daytona but more notisable

How about the center insert for our engine covers? Instead of having to purchase the entire unit, It would be nice to remove the orange OEM one and re-install a CBD one.

And a rear-window lip spoiler

[turbobuckeye]

I was checking out your website and wondering what is the difference between the standard dash kit and the deluxe, besides the extra $150?

[TeeJizzle]

How about a carbon fiber rear air diffuser with vents cut out?

[ed-e]

great idea!

[carbonbydesign.com]

The radio surround/shifter bezel are dead and gone. No more will be built. We do still have some B grade radio surrounds in stock.

As far as the standard vs the Deluxe kit. The deluxe kit includes two large pieces that go on the glove box as well as a few other items the standard kit leaves out. You can order the standard and upgrade to the deluxe later on if you so chose for the same price. The standard dash kit is quite extensive and has a lot of nice pieces in it.

The rear diffuser was something we considered for a long time, and last time we had a SRT-8 in the shop I crawled under and took a good look at the rear bumper area. On the LX series of vehicles I would not hold my breath for anyone to make one. The shape and design of the back are not friendly for putting a diffuser on.

Finally after three plugs, 2 molds, and 3 test fittings and a lot of time invested by our mold sculptor we have settled on a design for our next and probably final under hood part. It draws near, and we should have it ready well before Christmas.

Ummm I don't even think this is possible. I am sure that the roof skin is weilded to the body. Carbon fiber peices almost always have to be a bolt on item. and besides, it would save much weight. and I wouldnt want to be in a Charger while rolling with a carbon fiber roof if it was possible.

It is possible as a replament but thats a lot of work. an overlay is also very possible but up to the demand and I dont think that they think it is there

[carbonbydesign.com]

The roof is not really all that challenging, and if done right, it is every bit as strong as the stock one since you leave in the stock metal cross bracing in under the carbon roof. The problem with them is that getting people to drill out all the welds and permanently bond our roof in place of theirs, is not realistic as far as a "do it yourself" project for the majority of people.

I feel you on that one! But I was just kinda hoping they would make a nice fitting overlay piece. I know that would be difficult to pull off with folks that have a sunroof because they might not all be in the EXACT same position and what not, but I really wish they would give it a shot. Ive seen quite a few people ask about it. But Im just really not sure how to do anything but an overlay piece. A real CF roof would take ALOT of work to put in. But if its an overlay piece, I wonder how well it would stay attached you know? Either way, Id love to try something.

-Pat

[buzzzz]

as far as an over lay, that would be real good too. if its just an overlay then it could be very thin and flexible to concave to the roof right, no structural to it so i really think the sun roof wouldn't have any problems. but how would it be bonded to the roof?????? anyones thoughts

We don't do "colored carbon" because its not really carbon fiber, it is Kevlar Carbon hybrid with the kevlar dyed the color you want. It poses serious fading issues in the sun, and is absolutely hell to work with. Not only that, it is not cheap at all, and backorder on getting it is huge. The best viable option for colored carbon is candy paint like hemi_charger has on his two tone.

Hey CBD,

Do these match your interior kit???


No it does not match. The stock piece are faux carbon, and they are plain weave, meaning that the pattern is square. Our interior kit is real carbon and uses the twill weave, so it runs diagonally.

I'm interested in your SRT8 style hoods but what is the difference in your 'race hood' and why is it $800 more?

Thanks,
Liquid

Our race hood is a Racing ONLY application hood. It poses serious risk to occupants of a vehicle without a roll cage that has integrated drivers protection hoops if involved in a front end collision. The reason it is $800 more is the different resins, materials and difficulty in building them at super light weights. There are parts sold as "off road use only" well this is one where we mean it, and you life depends upon it!

It has come to my attention that a lot of people want a Carbon Fiber roof for their Charger. Yes we do currently build a replacement roof for a different model that is not listed on the website.

The reason we have not done this for the Charger for retail is the installation. The installation of a Roof requires removal of the two plastic strips on the roof. The interior roof liner must be removed. The center roof console must be removed. Then the windshield and rear window must be removed, any professional window shop will tell you its a 50%/50% shot of breaking it on removal. After that is done you must drill out the tack welds holding the roof to the rest of the car. Once its out you can lay a bead of silicone on the new roof, put it on the car, rivet it to the rest of the car, and reinstall everything.

Considering the difficulty of doing this yourself and cost associated with having a body shop do it, we think that the total sales vs development cost and time involved are not worth it as a business decision. There are other issues involved besides just the instalation consideration. If we were to build one, I can tell you it would cost no less than $1000.00 each plus 200 in shipping due to it's size.

I hope you can all understand now why it is a bad idea for us, as a manufacturer to get involved in producing a roof replacment.

Rob,
Thank you for the explanation!!! I don't think anyone (including myself) realized how difficult this would be to do.

Anthony

[buzzzz]

that is a lot of work, but what about a cosmetic overlay? maybe that would be consumer friendly

[BeeNaKID16]

yeah im thinking overlay

[NOLAchargerRT]

that is a lot of work, but what about a cosmetic overlay? maybe that would be consumer friendly
x2 There's already a stainless steel roof overlay and thats god ugly compared to what a carbon fiber one. So to think that for some unknown reason they made a stainless steel overlay, from some demand for it, before someone developed a carbon fiber overlay which a large number of people want, is just perplexing.

[BOSChargerRT]

rob, you know you want to get this made for us. please........ i figured it would be similar to a dash kit, but slightly thicker, with some adhesive or dble stick tape. as far as trying to make the bends on the outer edge, we could use flat black decal along the edge, to hide the original roof corners edge. call me to tell me it's going to be done. it's the missing piece for the hood and decklid. later - jimmy

[buzzzz]

ill buy the whole kit, hood, trunk, and roof overlay, 1800.00---shipped

[buzzzz]

any chances of a overlay being produced? seems more feasible for production

[BeeNaKID16]

cmonn roof overlay...i already have your hood and trunk!

[Crazy Charger SRT-8]

I have the radio bezel and shifter bezel in real carbon fiber. We have them in a fully molded models and a 41 piece flat dash kit that is real carbon. Picture will be up very soon. Also, we will be making the radio bezel with NAV very soon.

DO you guys make the radio bezel anymore? I can not find it on your site

[carbonbydesign.com]

No the radio and shifter bezles were canceled a couple months ago. They were costing us more to produce than we were making off of them so we had no choice on the matter.

Rob

[xrated]

i am a local (Vista) and interested in coming by your shop if possible??

[jmiahhenry]

I would like to see a pillar guage pods

Rob

damn that sucks. I wanted to take the POS fake carbon fiber bezel out my bee and put real carbon fiber in. Oh well I understand you gotta turn at least even, preferably a profit.

[BeeNaKID16]

i would agree..when more people go with superchargers and stuff or turbos now. pillar pod would be sweet.

[BOSChargerRT]

last i spoke with them, they were making custom cf pillars. i think they were for a charger? call them up.

[We Are Venom]

pillar gauge pods and the rear deck inside the car would be nice.

[We Are Venom]

how about carbon fiber overlays for the side mirrors

[GOBBLOXX]

:cool: My CBD hood looks so COOL, I would buy a whole body overlay kit if you built one!!!

P.S. Can you make me a Carbon pickguard for my SG??

[BOSChargerRT]

[rons charger]

what about a grill? a black one is nice but IMO a CF grill with the regualr SRT honeycomb backround would be tits.
oh and a CF ram so i can replace it with the chrome emblem on the front.

[radark1]

As posted on previous threads.....how about a continuation of the carbon fiber strip on the dash of the srt8...in front of the driver, It is currently on the passenger side...but not the drivers side.

[turbobuckeye]

BUMP for new product updates! :)

[DABULLET06]

how about a carbon fiber spoiler for the top of the rear window I would buy one.

[NArias24]

Anything??

[YoungMedic23]

Carbonbydesign ignored us Jeep guys and now 30 hoods are spoken for......aww too bad

[NArias24]

[lunish_3.5]

[j_mezz]

How about a CF nose-cone like the 69 Daytona's?

I want to buy an SRT style hood from CBD and I'm wondering if there is any issue with fading or discoloration of carbon fiber hoods in extremely hot places like Las Vegas where it is going to be 110 today.
If I get carbon fiber I probably won't paint it. So I'm wondering about the natural carbon fiber changing in appearance.

As long as you take care of the hood with regular washing and waxing it will last for years. We have the original hood we did for the SRT-4 guys on our car for 5 years now and it has not changed color at all. We wash the car once a week and wax once a month. It sits outside during the day and is put inside at night. It gets lost of sun light. Call with any other questions.

A CF strut tower brace that fits under the stock Charger SRT-8 hood AND clears a raised manifold from the spacers.

So basically your hood must be waxed weekly?

I've had my CBD SRT Hood for 18 months now and I'm in Florida. No fadding or discoloration here.

No it does not need to be waxed weekly. We wash our cars weekly. It is like anything else. You do not care of it and it gets a lot of abuse from sun it will break down.

Just wondering, I used to have VIS CF hoods on 3 previoius cars, and this was in AZ, so mind you, this is extreme heat, but they all developed a crack under the coating right above where the hinge to close the hood is. Is this something that happens with your hoods? meaning is it expected of all CF hoods? or were the VIS ones just POS?

This sounds like it happens where you push down to close your hood. Is that right? If so that may be from force not product related. Our hoods do not just crack but can from abuse or force.

Travis

[ultrablue]

Yes, exactly, where you would push down on the hood to latch it.

[soxfan4eva]

Would it be possible to get a Carbon fiber inflatable woman?

[carbonbydesign.com]

Yes, exactly, where you would push down on the hood to latch it.

It depends on how it is installed. What I mean is when we put ours on we set it up so we can push down on both corners to close it, not the middle. I have had customers that close ours by the middle and we have not had any issues.
