Maybe you could put a rough idea on the cost for people to weigh it up.

Carbon Mods do CF wings to suit any 7, Mac1 Motorsport do wings with cf inlay. Don't search purely for Roadster wings as they are more or less the same as any other 7 type car. The body panels vary in width from most though.

Cf wings would be about 2 or 3 times the price of grp ones and the only gain is the look really as it is possible to make grp wings as light as CF ones and more flexible so they don't break so easily when you belt them

Voodoo panels will have the "added goodness" element of light yet flexible to cut down weight without compromising strength

i was looking at doing them with a pair of rear stone guards for about the 180 mark that will be 2 to 3 layers of carbon no glass involved for me its not about the money its more about creating something with beauty for people to enjoy
