we have resolved the issue with the 3rd brake light and we will have stock in the following days, Thanks. |
Man that's tempting, though couple of questions:
1. Can you make them without the 3rd brake light? 2. Are they gonna come without the mounting holes (as pictured aboved) where the "Mazda" and "RX7" emblems normally go? |

Thanks |

i want a carbon fiber hatch , so then i can just put the glass in and save like 3 lbs :lol:
|
Would you be able to show a picture of how the bottom of the lid looks like?
|
i'd rather save another $150 and buy a Dmax hood.

Ah man, that may be the deal breaker :( I really want a shaved trunk and a CF shaved trunk would be savage, no way you could do it? Even for extra $$$?
|
Nevermind, just read his response. I myself have a vert with a CF rear diffuser and CF seats and CF interior accents and this would be perfect. What is price looking like on these?
|
Nevermind. I need to read threads before making dumbass posts. $475 plus shipping. Hmm. I think I am going to get one and add a GT CF wing to it and fix my stock one so I can change flavors whenever I want.

Dude he would have to make you a totally different mold. It is good enough they are making these in and of themselves considering the time and effort to make the mold.

I should have read the whole post before commenting. The reason I say this is because I do composite parts and many people dont understand that making a one off part means making a one off mold which is the most expensive part and much more than you would be willing to spend, unless you just modified one and then painted over it and in CF that pretty much defies the purpose unless he made you one from CF.

its a pain, especially in CF to get everything to look perfect. In fiberglass no problem because whatever you pull from the mold is not the finished product.

If you make it Paulo, we will buy. |
Hey this caught my eye and I was scoping out the OP's website...seems a little weird to navigate. I seem to see about 5-6 different CF parts for FC, is that everything?
|
SICK!!! I would like to see pics on a car please.

coming in a bit the 1st one is off to the donor for mounting and test fitment. Thanks, Paulo. |
How about more for a SA/FB? Ive got a FB project, seen a couple products there.
I dunno how many pieces can really be replaced with CF on those though. Good products FTW |
i have a quick question
do you plan on doing these trunks for awhile? because my fc has some problems that holds priority right now but that tops looks sooo sexii |
im assuming the trunk lid failed on the final tests? no posts after that.
