I even got a mold! I made two of em this weekend.. Give me a price you can pay and i can look into it.. its 311 dollars from RHDjapan shipped to Norway.. Donnu shipping from norway to USA, i bet 50-100usd

Edit: im selling them for 200 USD + shipping in Norway, but i got financial crisis at home :P :P so im open for "bids" on PM..

Bro you NEED to do a write up on how to make molds and glass your own aero.

That's something i've been wanting to learn how to do for YEARS. I can do speaker boxes, panels..... Stuff like that b/c it's easy to use wood with cloth stretched over it but that's just not practical with aero! I toyed with spray foam and a lot of sanding/shaping and that doesn't seem practical. Cardboard forms wouldn't transfer to well either!

On topic though.

Shipping would pwn me. I REALLY want one tho!

that vent is like 10000x better than the ugly uras one.

What is it?

Sindregutt 04-06-09 03:14 AM

I can do a write-up when im gonna copy my rear bumper in april/may.. Its not hard though.. I think you`ll find alot of it on the web somewhere..

Thats URAS type 2 hood scoop. FIts the FC really well and nice when having a Vmount ;)

Like i said i dont know the shipping from Norway to US.. I buy alot from the US but i dont know if its compareable....

Sindregutt 04-06-09 04:02 PM

Here ya go! :D Made some today too

What are the dimensions on these? And can you give a rough price for what one would cost for us north american with shipping? Kinda want on of these for my aristo if you price them competitively.

dkwasherexd 04-07-09 11:35 PM

yessss this is what I also really want to learn... teach us how to make copy of aero....fiberglassing lessonss....

Sindregutt 04-10-09 05:55 PM

Im trying to figure out how to ship stuff cheap to US. We aint got UPS or FEDEX offices here and the norwegian postal services sucks big time.. when eastern is over its easier to get quote`s.. I Might be able to go down on the price to you guys..

ABout fiberglass lessons.. Im not a "writer" kind a guy, but i can take some quick pics, and a few steps to show you the way.. its not hard, just gotta be patient and work the airbubbles out of the resin.

dreadseb 04-12-09 12:50 AM

Coool, a quick write up/pictures would be awesome too, hell if somebody can't figure out the procedure from a few good pictures and mediocre writing then they probably shouldn't try making their own aero in the first place haha. Maybe with some guidance I can start replicating the aero on my car since its been discontinued for years now haha.

And your vents look so much better than the uras vents imo, so it only makes sense that we pressure you into selling them. At least to a few of the cool kids haha.

DRFT_HRD 04-12-09 01:08 AM

when you get quotes let me know too i will need one of these.

Do you talk like you type?

Like a book?

Ben Stein HOLLA!

Sindregutt 04-14-09 06:03 AM

If someone wanna copy my copied ones.. be my guest! In the end, making glass fiber sucks. I mostly do it for my own cars! Making that hood scoop isnt that bad, but when you have like 3 splitted molds and aaalot of edges (aero bumpers) it takes time and effort to make it look good. `You`ll end up breaking it crashing into a silly silvia, so why bother? :P

Im not planning a writeup since D-DAY is comming! On the qoute part im gonna make some calls tomorrow..

travisorus rex 07-17-09 12:36 AM

Depending on the size and ost of shipping, I may be in for 1-2 of these.

I am also on the hunt for some "extractor" style vents for the sides of the hood if anyone knows where I could get some, hit me up.

sunburn 07-17-09 05:59 AM

Tatakai 07-17-09 01:03 PM

afro88 07-17-09 07:27 PM

You can get a D-max for about that much.

sunburn 07-17-09 09:09 PM
