i've looked on the carbon weezle website, but they only sell the headlamp bowl for air intake reasons.

is there any website which produce carbon fibre headlamp rings ;) ?

Simple answer, no. I remember talking to one company about doing them (can't remember whether it was Arc Angels or someone else), but the people I spoke to said that if there was enough interest they would start doing them. I do remember this company saying they had found a set in America however.
I will ask Tris & James from Arc Angels later about it, as I am expecting a delivery from them this evening.

I would see if you can get a few people interested and then contact a few of the carbon compaies,more likely to get them to make a batch of say 20 sets than a one off i would guess.

Cheers Ross.

hey guys i may be able to help you!!!
i work with carbon fibre and can easily make you the parts, but as mini man dan said, just need interest. if you guys can get enough interest on here then i can convince my boss to sell some.

EDIT- i was also thinking about carbon rocker covere the otherday.. think its possible?

They are painted underneath the laquer. Not sure of the actual material they are made from though, some kind of composite!
