I think there would be a demand for a competitively priced interior trim kit in carbon fiber, as well as the other basics like shift knobs, e-brake handles, steering wheel trim, and smaller exterior pieces like mirrors, door handles, door slats, grilles, emblems. A cold air intake in CF would be awesome, or a rear diffuser, and of course a CF hood but that would be a gigantic piece. It's not going to be a huge market for you but if you are ok with producing in small batches then I think it would be a good fit.

Yes' trim. The wood falls apart on every dark BMW I've owned. Some nice carbon would be nice here.

Great list. I agree, especially with the interior trim.
