    You have turned me into a carbon fiber addict and I would buy the sport mirrors in a heart beat, no need to be remote, a more aggresive spoiler would be really neat especially with it being a one piece trunklid-spoiler, speedo bezel would be cool, overlay for the metal dash,front spoiler and how about some under hood goodies like a fan shroud , air filter assembly, catch can, shock tower braces.

    Umm...I suggest these:
    -CF Valances
    -CF Small Bumpers
    -CF Modified Grabber Spoiler (1" or 2" taller)
    -SportMirrors
    -Repop Granada Console
    -A more agressive Grabber Hood (Bigger bulge and bigger scoops)

    Why not a more profound decklid spoiler? Something that resembles a '67/'68 Shelby GT 350/500?

    How about C/F dashpads... (which in essence will no longer be a "pad" but from what I can invision, will look pretty damn sweet) (y)

    hum mirrors and bigger spoilers comming up... hum? i'd do mirrors before i'd so the bigger spoiler but big bumper spoiler sounds like an idea... the last time people meantion taht when i did the regular ones. anyone have a photo on what the inside of a sport mirror looks like?

    not much only enough to match it up to an aftermarket end cap. i don't need the whole rear panel... check photo....

    [​IMG]

    but basicly any body part that touches the end cap.. and four inches or past it... that make sence? you have end caps too?

    carbon fiber addict... lol! catchy eh?

    hum fan shroud is a great idea... since people are even looking for OE ones to replace... anyone make a repo shroud? shock tower braces are a great idea however i think those would need to be prepreg to withhold the strengh that these need to be. might be way too much $$$!

    I have everything in the pic. I will see if I can borrow a Sawzall from work tomorrow so I can cut the rear pieces off the car this weekend.

    Here are couple of pics of the inside of my sport mirror on the '72. I don't have any pics of the drivers side one.

    No one makes a repop shroud.
    Many folks need them.

    There are 2 styles used... A/C and non-A/C.

    IMO, the safe bet to use if you decide to do this is A/C shroud.
    That shroud can be used in place of either shroud.
    If you do the non-A/C, it will only work on non-A/C cars.
    The A/C shroud is just shaped more compact in spots, but is functionally the same.

    Also, IMO the A/C shroud is cleaner looking and more asthetic.

    Actually.....a repop fan shroud is available (both of them)....I provided the shrouds to make the molds. It is made of fiberglass.

    I second this one! Grabber spoilers for big bumper cars would be awesome! What I have been told by guys that have made their own, they took a small bumper endcap and cut it in the middle, and then added the extra "length" there. Wish I could be of more help. I do have some photos, but I think I already sent those to you.

    There was some really cool suggestions, would love to see some of that stuff become a reality.

    Good luck! You do awesome work!

    How about a headliner board? Replace the rods and all that junk with a modern type headliner board.

    Derrick, if you decide to do the mirrors let me know, I can send you a set to make a mold from. I have several sets.
