Surely with the VAST amounts of scoobs out there, there's some money to be made? Amazed someone hasn't done it already.

Jump on the scoob forums wack a post up on there, some companies won't do it unless there's say, 10 being made, so it's actually worth their time to set it all up.

That SJS roof panel looks nice !!

Stu - the one that performance trim do requires you to remove the roof skin - so you would have a carbon roof...

When i was thinking about buying an impreza i was looking for a carbon fibre p1 splitter for it too. Inspired by a mica red one on NASIOC.

However the only place i could find one was from the US, made by Seibon, so fairly good quality. Here's a link below:

I'd get that... but a skin just seems a waste of time and money to me.

Sounds like a slippery (and expensive) slope to me dude. First the roof, then spoiler, then splitter. Before you know it you'll be pulling an Andy Gallacher and getting carbon moulds made for every panel!
