Fresh...C/Fiber headlight lids. Vented RHS lid on the way



Vented RHS lids will be the same as my f/glass lids

 

I kind of like the vented headlight cover. Not really a fan of carbon fiber as anything more than weight reduction, but more power to you.

 

Looks like very nice work man.

 

sweet ... finally some more progress

 

beautiful work man, can't wait to get some money together for one of your hoods...

 

Hey 13Beef,
What is the weight difference between stock and your "Tasty" creation....
BTW .....
They look awesome.

I'm not a fan of the C/F look, but those look pretty good. Add those to a car, with a C/F hood and header panel, and it should look decent.

 

id like to see an under side pic in order to view the mounting system. do they bolt on like the stock lids? same mounts?

 

I will post a pic with the metal tabs added. They are straight bolt on

 

Meatl headlight lid weighs 590grams give or take, Carbon Fiber headlight cover,clearcoated with metal tabs 195grams.

 

not bad, again roughly 1/3 the weight, just like hood. Lookin good man.

 

 

Wow, all your stuff looks amazing!

 

hey sorry if its a dumb question, but are you going to put in the slits/holes, or would that be something for us to do?

 

I can get the slots cut exactly the same as OEM part but there is a high rate of damaged parts when done this way. I'm going to do something a little different on my car- I'm thinking about having some rotor shaped vents instead of the slots also with mesh underneath. What do you think?

Also offering the cowl panels in f/glass. These can be made to exact OEM spec with a less hassle than the C/F parts.

 

sounds good man, I'm all for not damaging them. You're pouring a lot into this **** and I'd hate for you to lose money, maybe if you put fewer holes spaced a bit further apart. I'm guessing that its the thin little pieces in between the open slots that breaks?

 

Looks good, but the question is why?

 

^What!? It weighs 1/3 as much as stock pieces. Thats why.

I know that it would be a huge and expensive project, but Ive always wanted CF fenders. a whole CF front clip would save a lot of wieght. and possibilty we might see something in the future?

 

So, the new headlight covers save 3 lbs? For what cost $2-300?

 

These covers have better edges than factory covers (no press marks)


If you're building up something special and want a different look these will look hot on your car.
Price for pair of C/F covers with mounting tabs,clearcoated $220USD

John64- Fair enough if it's not your thing,you can't please all of the people all of the time.

 

I do want a pair, but I'm gonna get the hood first

 

That looks really good, nice work!

 

Nice work, so how long till you have fenders, doors, and bumpers or whole car? j/k

13BEEF I tried to PM you regarding some CF parts, let me know if it didn't go through.
