none exist, but i am considering making my own either fiberglass or carbon fiber panels...meaning i will have to make a mold so i could lie one of the materials im gonna use onto the surface...some good ol epoxy and either fiberglass or carbon fiber will do the trick...though i think fiberglass is a lot easier to work with...but carbon fiber looks niice

i jsut want to be able to cut alot of weight off of my car. and i think fiber glass would be alot cheaper. i want to jsut strip everythign out of my car, but i am kinda scared of haveing no tracktion off of the line.

depends on what fiberglass and what carbon fiber you use will determine which is cheaper...i dont remember which of the fiberglass materials is cheaper....but i know that dry carbon fiber is cheaper...i think ill let you know, traction off teh line...has a lot to do with suspension and putting the power to the ground...a good set of shocks and springs or coilovers is a good start...also a good set of tires will get you the grip you need...shaving weight is definitely a plus...if your running a stock suspension setup it will be harder to put power to the ground since its a little soft you will be absorbing a lot of the energy that is used for launching, making the car more rigid is also good like antisway bars, strut tower bars, cross braces, or even a roll cage...assuming that you will be dragging competitively on a strip..
