99 Spec Carbon Fiber Lip: Gathering Interest
Hey Guys,
Shineautoproject, one of the vendors on this forum is actually considering doing this. They are a very reputable shop and I know a lot of people on this forum have been following their progress with their replica's of basically anything that's high in demand.
I talked to Ken from Shineautoproject and he said it's a very good possibility he could make a 99 spec CF lip if there is enough interest.
Here's the link to that thread:
https://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-center-69/carbon-fiber-99-spec-front-lip-possible-544748/
If it seems like a profitable venture (which judging from the multiple threads and people requesting this part it is) to him, I'm sure he'll undertake it.
A LOT of people, including myself can vouch for the quality of their work so that shouldn't even be an issue. In fact, I would say most of their replica's actually fit better than the originals, especially the burnout kit .
The thing is the way Shineautoproject from what I understand works is that they wait for interest in a particulat kit/part and once enough is gathered they'll take deposits and begin the work. Slightly lenghty of a process, but DEFINITELY, speaking from experience, worth the extra wait.
I really hope this ends up working out, I've been wanting a high quality 99 spec carbon fiber lip since forever without the rediculous Mazdaspeed price tag of $650.00-700.00.
PLEASE if you want this part be active and let him know. Post in the thread that you're interested so we can make this happen. Thanks.
Oh and BTW- I spoke to Ken today regarding this particular part. He mentioned that since Carbon Fiber is very limited and he wants to keep it for other projects as well, he’ll probably only be making 20 of these lips. If you want in make sure you’re one of the first 20 to post in the thread mentioning your in, otherwise sorry.
Here's the deal: As for pricing he said the price will be $350 + shipping, which personally seems to be a great deal. As far as the Carbon weave here's basically what Ken said today over the phone and he also posted in another one of his threads:
"We can make it out of plain weave or twill weave. Our carbon diffuser is plain weave. I prefer plain weave over twill weave. Let us know what you would like. Our plain weave is starting to run out (that's why our carbon stuff is pricy) so let me know quickly."
We're almost there guys, just need 9 more buyers and we should be well on our way. If anyone knows people who would be interested in this part, get the word out and let's make this happen .
Thanks,
Riz
