G54B3sgte Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ok i met up with a guy yesterday evening who does fiberglass body parts for a living and is trying to expand his business further then doing 300GT/Stealth parts I need to see how many of you guys would like o purchase airdams for 225 shipped I will have the first one out of the mold from him in about a month and a half but it wont stop there if there is enough s upport from you guys I have heard suggested items as such: Fiberglass Fenders Reproduction Airdams Reproduction 83 hoods for cheaper then mookeeh which is a possibility and i mean alot cheaper Reproduction Center consoles and and shifter pieces Custom front and rear bumpers maybe some hatch pieces and such but for the first run it will be airdams I need atleast 40 people to show interest in possibly ordering these and when the first one comes out of the mold I will be showing the DFW guys so they get to see it first hand and can give you their thoughts on the quality of it now I have seen his work for the 3000gt stuff and its first rate and this isnt some guy doing it afterwork this is all he does for a living so once the molds are made production will be quick so sign up for the interest of a airdam so we can get this ball rolling and get us the parts we need and want for cheaper and with qaulity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDX87Starion Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) FYI Mookies airdam GP price was $179 + shipping. Also its gonna be nearly impossible to get 40 people to commit. The only GP I can recall that had that many were mookies F&R struts which ended up to be only $119 for the set. Might want to start with something small thats not already available, and relitivly easy. Just to make sure the whole process is going to work, and the production time isnt too long. I dont know what it is... but the "I know a guy" GP's seem to be the kiss of death, specially when it comes to fiberglass or CF. Something beyond anyones control always stops the project dead in its tracks... if it even gets going in the first place. Every year or two there is a GP post about cheap FG or CF parts that never goes anywhere. Usually its because molds cannot be made with out a commitment / deposits, and no one will commit or without a sample, and people expect custom made parts to cost the same as cheap mas produced honda parts on ebay. But at least you will have a sample before trying to collect money, thats a good start. Good luck.

jszucs Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Also IMHO and from having an old school fiberglass kit on a min truck. Fiberglass sucks for lower body parts. Even from just junk on the road hitting it over about 2 years it developed hairline cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarquestRescue Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 These are probably is not the people you are talking to, but maybe some one should be talking to them.

Xtreme Industries Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 what about a front bumper with airdam moulded in and a larger opening where the intercooler is. so all that is needed is to cut the bumper support a little. i know people here have modified their existing setups to accomodate a larger opening.

G54B3sgte Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) thanks for the faith extreme and i understand i wasnt asking people to commit to a purchase i was asking for interest for possibly buying the product and this isnt one of those deals the guy is having the mold made for himself i will not be selling them via to yall you will deal with him directly for your parts i am just introducing him to these cars he isnt charging me to make the molds because he is the one that will be making the money he will be the one to setup the gp thread when he has them ready this guy is a straight shooter he doesnt have any other job then making fg parts he used to make car kits for people his handy work is incredibly the craftsmanship is amazing and extreme we are working on a wide mouth design without sacrificing the foglight assemblies so all it will be is to modd the support bumper and bolt on like i said i am going to get a sample of the first airdam once it is out of the mold and gonna let the dfw guys look touch smell if they want lol but i was also trying to see what other items you guys might want that no one has taken the time to actualy have reproduced like our center consoles and such and btw he makes his molds so its not going to be a situation where he is waiting on another company to make it for him this guy used to make countache kits for people to have a replica of and the all famous ac cobras but he is trying to build up his own business making parts for cars who either have no aftermarket support or a item was stopped from production like alot of the hks stuff has so dont throw in the towel yet but the 225 is shipped to your door ready for primer and paint and as such as we progress with other items Edited April 1, 2009 by G54B3sgte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrophage Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Anybody designing a rear bumper? we need it with the bottom part bought down some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Ya, I'd like to see some design ideas for a rear air defuser beneath the rear bumper, to add a little to the view most familiar to non-owners. Never found the gas tank too appealing. One that would mount below the stock bumper cover, but not look like a cheap 'add-on.' -Something which would compliment the car's design similar to what the front spoiler does for it.
