If you could have a copy of any body part for the FC (hoods, fenders, bumbers etc.) for a good price what would it be?

 

RE FC2000 kit!

 

a reverse scoop hood. another cool thing that's not really a replica would be a widebody kit similar to that of the second gen mr2. i think it's trd, the one with the sharp lines after the front and rear fenders. nothing too big, but enough to be noticed.

 

Working on something myself... very preliminary...

"It's gorgeous but I'm not about to swing all that coin. I'm going to make my own with Toucan halo lighting and carbon fiber canards. I've got the pre-preg in the freezer and am in the middle of purchasing fiberglass supplies. I hope to incorporate a functional, adjustable front splitter on it also. I posted a thread about this in the CDN forum but only 2 or 3 people showed interest. It will NOT be a duplicate of the RE but something along those lines, oh and with functional ducts so you can choose to directly cool your brakes if you wish. I've collected about 200 pics of front fascia's in researching this and my own experiences at the track should help. Hopefully I get it off the ground."

Thoughts?

 

iam down for it...

 

my apologies, don't want to seem like I'm highjacking this thread, just throwing out my own ideas/plans. And yeah, I was refering to the RE FC2000 kit also.

 

What about a replica pan speed hood with the reverse scoop? And about fenders, what would you guys like to see...wide body, vents?

And does anyone know about gettin some FC 2000 lights only?

 

Some strange creation to get air to the rear brakes. I guess you would have to vent a side skirt some how. Or how about a full underbody tray. Make a hard top for the vert. Front end piece that has the fenders merged with the front bumper to eliminate seams.

 

Ahhhhh...A one piece front end, Hmmm?

Thanks Samps, somthin to dream on at school. LOL

 

an underbody tray would be cool, but how would frp hold up? it gets hit with lots of crap

 

I've been keen on the idea of a full on underbody and clamshell front end for a little while. I care much more about the underbody due to the obvious functionality it lends. I'm guess that if you do use FRP there must be some kind of rubber coating that can be applied to reduce the wear on the part. That's just my thought though, don't know if it's used or not.

 

I guess some sort of ruberized undercoating would help a little...But that would be cool if someone could get a mold for one and start cranking them out. Who knows, I have 2 weeks off school to mabey make a cheap template?

 

rubber might work if it stays on the track, but frp doesn't exactly bend when a huge rock hits it.
