j-hanson Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) hey guys.. im starting a new topic to update everyone on current status of composite parts- for those who have followed the story on all the parts ive been working on, you know there have been some ups and downs during the process. my available free time for the parts schedule has severely cramped some timelines i was shooting for, and the hiccups of the actual tooling processes just keep putting me further and further behind on things. i cant apologize enough for all the patience... i thank everyone whos gotten one of my parts, and hope its helped make your car that much more special! drift style bumpers- -drift bumpers are still available. i currently have 1 bumper left over from original GB that ive been waiting on a buyer for, so if anyone is interested in getting one- i will let it go for $450 shipped for the first take... PM me if youre interested. -if we need another GB for these, let me know and we can get one going, otherwise they are 525 shipped on individual orders. extended spoilers- -currently still working on the molds. ive been limited to the time i can put into these, but they are making progress. the process of making the multiple sections for each part of the spoilers has been a pain. along with some difficulties on another part ive been making(which is finally getting close), these got way behind, but they are still happening and havent forgotten about ya guys! ... except for the 1 carbon fiber part on order already, i am only doing these in fiberglass in the future, and currently not taking any orders until the first ones get out... carbon fiber header panel/headlight covers- -these have been/are available anytime. 650 shipped for the set. group discount at 3 sets. **new for 09**- Reverse cowl hood- -this has been a project coming for a while now and the mold is finally ready. there have been a few sneak peaks, along with a very patient 1st buyer on this part and i can post a pic over the weekend of the finished prototype in grey... they will be available in fiberglass or carbon fiber. heres a couple pics... the top one is in finish primer, and the 2nd is from after the mold was popped off it, so its kinda hazy and still has all the wax and release solvents on it but you get the idea of the shape..basically youll be able to leave it closed up or cut it open as you wish... a finished part is nearing completion and youll be able to see pics of those once they get delivered.... http://lh4.ggpht.com/_SbkFITDNmxA/SkVTc2bPSdI/AAAAAAAABNs/EjjAKIOFUxw/s512/hood.jpg http://lh6.ggpht.com/_SbkFITDNmxA/SkrOJgV5TqI/AAAAAAAABSY/z9NRB5vV7IQ/s512/hood2.jpg please keep this post ON TOPIC!! if you arent interested in custom parts for your car, please dont respond in this thread... josh Edited July 8, 2009 by j-hanson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstar88 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 do you have a price point for the hood, or are you still working on a price?? Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael knight Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Is the hood bolt-on or will it need 2 or 4 hood pins. Thanks, Damon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-hanson Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 -i dont know what shipping is gonna be on the hood yet... i know fed ex will take it, but i wont know shipping info till the 1st one goes out and i know how much ill have to brace the package and see what it ends up weighing out at.. im guessing that itll be about $175-200 for just the shipping...unless youre close to Minnesota.... ive got a great box for em, but ill need to build a pinewood frame and put foam on both sides so they wont get jacked up during transit... -my hoods will NOT have a factory latch point in front, so you will need 2 hood pins- they will mount up to rear hinges though...... ***ps- you should NEVER run a composite hood without hoodpins... ive seen too many idiots over the years use factory latches that have broken free and caused serious damage to windshield and A-pillar areas... its not safe for you, your car, or other drivers around you if/when it flies off.. so simply put... i wont give you the ability to be "that guy" -as for a GB price, itll go like this 1 $499 2-3 $469 4-6 $449 seems like those are the kinda numbers that work on custom parts... id like to shoot for end of the month to get things ready for a GB so if theres more interest that what i have listed i can price things out accordingly carbon fiber will be an additional 250/per order.. -josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
