FD owners!!

Hey all,

I wanted to get some feedback on what owners would like to see made. I have a cnc router machine and I would like to start make parts that have intrest to a larger group of people. I was figuring on making sloted rotors. Meaning different designs on the face of the rotors to improve venting and unique styling. Any one else have any ideas?

Thanks
Diego

I would buy a pair of rotors if you did something like that I think that would be really neat and unique

You can buy brand new defroster vents($50) from Ray:

Yea I think its better to go with something that is already made. Something that has to be made from scratch is consisdered custom and would cost more than the original.
