i wish they made every part for the celica out of carbon fiber
and the price would be ferrari-like. who would want to buy a $100,000+ celica? granted it would shave about 500 pounds off to bring the weight to around 2000 lbs.
just jump in a lotus elise..it uses the toyota gts engine (actually made by yamaha) and is made out of lightweight material. (40k)
a BIG reason why ferraris cost so much is that they are mostly made out of carbon fiber...carbon fiber door panels, carbon fiber seats, carbon fiber steering wheels, carbon fiber floors...not to mention the whole exterior is made out of carbon fiber pieces

Werd. Carbon Fiber is nice to look at and saves weight on non-vital parts, but I wouldn't want a car made from it. The first time you crashed the thing would just shatter.

hee hee...like Fiberglass firebirds.
but really...carbon fiber is strong and lightweight. i wouldn't mind if the exterior panels + hood in the celica were made of carbon fiber AT ALL..but i would mind the price. (until/if carbon fiber becomes cheaper..we'll have to do with Fiberglass + metal for an affordable means)
I have a Carbon Fiber Hood, wing, side view mirrors, canards, and splitters.
you have a very nice car, one question though: why do 6 of your 7 pictures in your profile look photo-chopped? not saying it's not your car or anything of that sort--but it doesnt exactly help your credibility.
part of a "carbon fiber" dash. Since toyota carbon fiber dash's aren't real as I just found out. Part since i got it off ebay for about $8 =)...its only the part that goes around the top part of the center console

i think the big reason is their name "Ferrari" nothing special, i doubt they make carbon fiber body for ferraris, more like Fiberglass...
Carbon Fiber hood, raised scoop, spliter, mirors, dash, spoiler, trunk handle, L-plate frame, muffler. All real carbonfiber
