Metal stretches and deforms when you "pound out the dents" trust me, I know all about this shit. A composite and reinforced undertray would be 1000 times better.

I know metal stretches and deforms thats why and how you can pound out dents. FRP underbody tray would probably be ok also, carbon fiber would be expensive, but for either you have to make a mold, which isn't as easy as cutting/bending/deforming/drilling sheet metal.

The first one is being made as we speak.

Black Knight RX7 FC3S 03-27-09 08:13 PM

:D

i hope its an aluminum one!!.
Carbon fiber under tray are good but the time to fix it when at the track takes too long hahaha. Also, I just like shiny aluminum :)

J.MurdaFCs3 03-29-09 01:06 AM

+1 FOR THE TRAY.

while we're suggesting might i say a gauge pod like the subby's

^ yeah those are cool i guess...i would be happy with an on-dash pod setup though. i cant see myself spending money on that pod unless it was almost as cheap as 2 normal pods.

Rob XX 7 03-30-09 06:24 AM

that particular pod set up would not work, we need them on top- also might like them better with 2 gauges on one side instead of that mickey mouse ear look.

Pics and Price?

There used to be a dash gauge pod on ebay but it was for RHD with two pods on one side...

Thanks

Kerebrus 03-30-09 11:25 AM

It will be done within a week or so, pics will be up then. What are people expecting to pay for something like this?

Nick_d_TII 03-30-09 12:37 PM

$1... no.... maybe $2 with free shipping? Ha ha! J/K

Depending on how good they look and fit up I'd say $50-150... maybe up to $250 if they look real nice. Carbon Fiber would be +$300. (prices before shipping)

But all pricing aside what would I BUY one for probably around $75-150 as it is just an underbody tray... kinda useful, but not exactly a must have...

Aluminum is more expensive than SS sheet metal I believe... I'd say the price to fab it up would be, 4'x'4 Aluminum sheet .040(3/64) thick is $36-ish, bending, drilling, cutting... I'd say $75 to make, add 50% Puts you around $100 bux.

Does that seem reasonable?

Kerebrus 03-30-09 12:41 PM

Not really. The materials alone are going to cost about $50-70, that's not including making it, S&H, etc. It will look really nice and be an A+ product none the less.

yall should make an upper radiator cooling panel while your at it,, seems there kinda hard to find a good aluminum one these days...corksport is like the only one i think....

Are you talking about this? Yes Corksport already makes it and it's a great price, why would we make another?

gauge pod. http://www.shop.retro-spec.net/produ...1?productId=21

i would rather see this one with maybe 4 on it. 2 on one side and 2 on the other.

LaSkt9 03-31-09 04:05 PM

^ i like that

Just make the UIM CF like the Feed and Kiwi Re one :)

You sure about that? Last time I saw a FEED CF FD UIM piece it was just a cover, exactly like the picture that has been posted in here.

I think the only reason would be to produce one that doesn't have a logo on it, for someone who is going for a more clean look. Other than that it would be kinda dumb to waste time making these.

hurry up and start selling the under body tray already.

Kerebrus 03-31-09 06:56 PM

We can sell it now if you want a crappy product, or you can wait for something worth purchasing :):icon_tup:

Brake Master Cylinder brace, a legit piece that can bolt in.

An N/A, or Turbocharged engine cover, I saw a couple members asking for that, its not my particular style, but those people would buy it.

Drop in cup holders, Put one in the center console in the big area for two, or if the AAS is removed, one could fit in that little rectangle.

Make a window switch package, that has the amplifiers

DTSS eliminators for the models that can't use it

Steering Angle Kit for the models that can't use it

Plexiglas or any other related material for a moon roof, like the rare model rx7

The aluminum undertray that was mentioned above

Euro lights for an FC, I know that its Hondalicous, but I'm just thinking of replacing the bulbs with LEDs, not totally making it white

Transmission rebuild package, I can't find one

I guess the word is "blue prints" for: Strut tower braces, Exhaust, Headers, and sway bars; I like the make things this simple instead of just buying it. This would help with how much material to get.

This is all my input, Don't think too much on all this, because I think it comes down to supply and demand. I hope it helps a bit though!

It was a joke, it's not even complete yet. Have patience.

You guys should make a cheap lip for s5/maybe s4 if you can pull it off

I can't really justify spending 150+ on a lip :/
