View Full Version : C/F stuff **MORE Pics**
Ive been looking for someone to make C/F overlays parts for my car, so I ended up meeting the owner of a company that makes carbon fiber products and is willing to make interior / exterior parts for the zx2 at a very low price, BUT only to the 10 first persons, why only 10 ? because with that he recovers the material and labor that he invest in making the MOLDS, yes molds, its not c/f wrap its actually molds and he is going to use my car to make them fit right.
He used to make products for VIS, Versus & Mastergrade, but now he only sales on EBAY,
check it out.
http://stores.ebay.com/Carbon-Fiber-Glass-Products
you can see he has very custom parts.
It takes 3 weeks to make a mold and 3 days to make the actual part.
He show me some parts and its great stuff, you can see from the ebay adds, its going to be 2kx2kx c/f
If this group buy is a succes, we talk about making molds of
- 98 spark plug cover.
- Trunk
- door sills
- wiper cowl
- Side plastics from seats
- Fenders
Im going to take pictures of his shop and some of the work he does.
Remember this is only for the 10 first persons, after that he sale the parts on ebay at a higher cost.
Any questions or if youre interested in another piece group buy, just let me know.
PICS !!!
The shop

I need to take better pics, this ones just dont do any justice to the cowl.
I used the same bolts, only painted them black, perfect fit.
To buy this stuff youll need to PM me so i can provide you the e-mail adress for the owner of the company and he can give you prices.

Uh beating the shit out of him would hardly solve anything other than getting yourself into trouble and showing how much you haven't grown up.
But anyway just be careful vega. If he's legit it sounds awesome.

I apreciate that but I would like for you to edit that comment, please.
Like i said i went to his shop, he show me his products, i show you some of his products on ebay.
I now i need to take pictures of his shop and his workd so no one has doubts. He stop working for the US companies because they wanted for him to match prices with china.
Ive been here a long time, meet a lot of people, sold many stuff and buy even more stuff.
TTFOWIA
Any thing made would have to be for 10 people or if you want something "special" maybe it can be arrange, if this dosent go i might have a spark plug cover to start with.
A whiper cowl is the black plastic under the whippers, he made one for an eclipse (look for it in his ebay items) you should see it in person.

This is very impressive, however you may want to start a poll of possible options of things to get made, that way you'll have the most possible sales as gauged by interest of the group rather than requests. I'd love to have many things done, but I don't have the cashola at this time :(

I know, youre right, and i know its hard to start a group buy when i have no picture of the actual part.
Looks like im going to have to take one for the team and make a solo buy, i think its going to be the whipper cowl, since its would be a unique item.

You should see if he can mold a WW kit out of carbon fiber. If he did that I wouldn't sell my car.
mellowness65
06-10-2008, 11:28 PM
how much would it cost to do a ww shark wing in cf?
someone PMd me about the WW kit, and even offered to send it to have the molds made, the problem is that this guy is accepting making our stuff because he is just going to invest in material and his earnings are going to come from the sales on ebay, and a WW kit would be a "special order" (they could sue him) and he is not going to be able to sale it on ebay, so it would be more expensive.
Im going to see im tomorrow and ask him.
vega

06-11-2008, 12:24 AM
ok, j/w. All I want is the wing, I don't want the kit as I already have it and prefer it in urethane anyway
jdrzx2
06-11-2008, 12:36 AM
I'd take the whole kit minus the wing in carbon fiber. I wouldn't mind paying a lot more for it. I called VIS because they are part owners of WW now and they won't do it. I'd almost expect to have to pay in the $1500 plus range for a carbon fiber body kit.

ZX2guy19
08-03-2008, 01:48 PM
Lol. That sucks.
Lol. That sucks.
actually not that much because this guy used to make products for VIS, so we would be getting the same quality for a lower price, it dosent have to be 10 but the more the better so the price is lower, because it would be a new mold. If only one person wants to pay for the mold thats fine.
I paid for the mold for the spark plug cover and whipper cowl but you can see there isnt that much of a demand, i only know of 2 persons that have bought this stuff, so i know for sure that he is not going to invest any of his money in more products if only a few are going to buy, but then again theres only a few that mod the zx2.
Last time i visit him they just finish a center console for a Supra and a roof liner and a center console for an Eclipse, beautiful stuff.
The good thing for me (or us) is that i found another guy who does c/f overlay´s and he guesstimate the passenger vent and cluster surrounding for 180 dlls, so thats not bad at all.

What about the wiper cowl, gas door, and the things under the door (name escapes me).
How much would all that cost?
The only things that are for sale right now is the wiper cowl and spark plug cover.
The door sills (i think you mean that) are future plans but he needs to see interest in the first things.
Gas doors i think it would be better to have them overlay with c/f, but that would be in the 40 - 50 dlls area.
