Garage Alpha Carbon Fiber Windshield Cowls!
 

Hey guys!

If you've been following us on IG and Facebook you've probably seen some sneak peeks on this. Well, it's time for us to open up the door for pre-orders and wanted to post it here first.

We are offering a replacement windshield cowl for the FD3S Mazda RX-7... in carbon fiber of course! :cool:

We will be stocking Plain (1x1), Twill (2x2), Forged or Honeycomb weave - and we even have some funky special order weaves available if that's what you're after.

As for configurations, we have LHD and RHD available along with an UNCUT version for those of you that have deleted your wipers and want a sleek look. All configurations include weatherstripping for an OEM fit and finish.

Here's a shot of one right out of the mold, so you can see what an uncut version looks like:

ETA is about 6-8 weeks off, but that should be a very attainable estimate.

If you want to jump on board, we'd love the support! All pre-orders will receive a bonus in their order that we won't be including with future orders.


Here's a quick video too!

Mazda RX-7 [FD3S] Carbon Fiber Windshield Cowl

Yes.... another thing for the wish list

Boner alert!!! I love buying garage alpha products!!

I want. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say you wont be able to ship to me. :(

My list is pretty big too!


Thank bud! The support doesn't go unappreciated! :worship:


Japan? Why not? Current COVID concerns or size or...?

We've been shipping to Hong Kong, Australia and Japan in the past couple weeks without issue - so it should be ok.

Are you an APO or "regular" address? Feel free to take the conversation to PM. :icon_tup:

My pocket really not liking you guys. :rant:
Sign me up for one anyway.

Unrelated product; when will the exhaust will be finish? Any update?

I know, I know... I feel the same!

As for exhausts, those are currently cranking away. I have a two piece version being welded up along with a dual dolphin tip being made. :icon_tup:

ALSO, since someone asked on another thread what's the difference between each weave...


Check out these 99Spec Front License Plates we do for a good comparison between weave types:

Forged

Honeycomb

Another company has some larger items similar to this but said they wouldn't be able to ship to me due to sizing restrictions as well as non-deliverability of FedEx to my FPO address. To ship freight would cost an amount that I could not justify as well as a headache dealing with whatever port of entry once it arrives.
I have both an FPO and "regular" address in Japan.

PM me. I bet we can make it happen.

:icon_tup:

Gimme til after payday :icon_tup:

No problem.

We’ve blown through about 1/3 of our initial run so far. But there should be spots left for you. :icon_tup:

Just pre-ordered mine, Thanks for making such a killer product!

Dale

Great idea. Looking forward to some pics of the twill 2x2.

Gimmie like, 3-4 days. Just popped a few from the mold and still need to trim / polish. :icon_tup:

We are in production and scheduled to have our first (small) batch this week, with more to follow in the next few weeks. There's still time to get your order in and ensure you get the weave you want. :icon_tup:

Any updates on when they will be ready to ship out? Can't wait to get mine!

Dale

So sorry I neglected this thread! Social media is taking over it seems. :blush:

I have TWO large batches en route to me right now. One shipped July 10th and I'm checking the tracking everyday. The other went out late last week.

These first two batches are overdue for sure - BUT should cover ALL the twill orders and a few of the others.

Once everything arrives - we should be able to turn them around in a day or so. :icon_tup:

PHEW!

That's me exhaling after shipping out our first big batch of cowls! :beer:

So here's the break down... if you ordered in April / May you SHOULD have a tracking number, with the exception of RHD Twill weave and 1x1 weave (of course, the one I need for my car :facepalm3:).

All the Forged, Honeycomb and the vast majority of Twill have also shipped. The next big batch is currently being laid and that will include the rest of the Twill and 1x1.

We currently have TWO Forged/LHD cowls in stock and will try to build up inventory as we fill pre-orders.

For everyone's patience we are including a few extra bonuses in addition to the titanium hardware. I know it's been a few weeks more than originally anticipated and your patience doesn't go unappreciated. :worship:


On a side note, we have a couple BIG carbon fiber projects in the development phase right now, so get excited for those. But in the meantime - we will continue to push through these cowls.

I got my shipping notification! Woo hoo!

Can't wait to get mine, I will post up my impressions when I get it!

Dale

You guys rock, Garage Alpha! Look forward to seeing installed pics.

Any option for a wiper delete?

Neither can I!!! :ylsuper:

Me too! No better feeling than seeing this stuff get installed and customers falling in love with their cars again. :awesome:

Absolutely! That would be the 'UNCUT' option.

What it means is - we don't cut the cowl for the wiper arms. I should probably clarify that on the website. :blush:

I am still waiting for mine. I have PM you a couple times, but still no answer. I know you guys probably busy, but just an update would be good.
I ordered them back in April. Order# 2444.

Hey! So sorry! You and a lot of other people are still waiting - don't worry!

Looks like I did miss these last two PMs - but we responded to the first nine! :)

We have more cowls being laid daily. Right now, we are processing all the 1x1s and the remaining Twills. I am hoping to have them in hand in the next couple weeks and turn them around.

So sorry we didn't get your order out on the initial batch - we just went straight down the line. I will be sure to keep you posted as to when the next batch are ready for shipping. :icon_tup:
