Fuze Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Josh, as you can see everybody wants something but it's tough to agree on one thing. When 101 did the poll first, it narrowed down the choices. I'd stick with parts that aren't already being made or are hard to get. The most worn out body parts are up front. Header panel/grill trim Fenders Bumper/airdam combo If you can, pin down one to do, maybe a smaller cheaper part (like header panel or grill) to build ppl's trust, since you are only asking for 10 orders, I think you'll be in business. Maybe also consider a deposit option, as this has helped me commit when it's not an instant purchase. If you're willing to make something that I happen to need I'd buy from you, but a lot of us have been burned before buying things off the forums, so some may be more nervous about it. I hope you can get this going! I look forward to your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-hanson Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 been very busy around here lately... i started a new full time job a month ago, and have been doing some work on some custom mustang parts that may be getting picked up by a supplier, so thats been eating up most my free time... as an update-- ive made a few molds and have not pulled parts yet but ready to take orders.. they are smaller parts that i can handle a light production run of and still not make people wait too long to get the parts-(2-3 weeks shipped) i do not need 10 orders.... you can get these at any time. please PM if youre interested so i can get zip code so i can quote shipping-I wont mark up shipping....price of box+ ups or fed-ex charges only header panel $300--NOTE if you have a carbon hood i need a pic so i can match the direction of the weave headlight covers $150/per pair--NOTE if you have hood, i need pic so i can match the direction of the weave rear side vents behind doors $300/pair-these will have a thin mesh grill either black or aluminum instead of the square holes like the stock part gauge hood $250 middle door panel inserts $250 per pair again i can do these parts in carbon fiber or carbon kevlar josh http://picasaweb.google.com/worxcustoms/FabricationPics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift1313 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 since these arent race cars you might be able to make part from black fiberglass(except for those who have CF hoods). Im guessing most people want the look and not weight savings. and cosmetic carbon parts have so much resin on them anyways that weight savings are negligible. I think its a great thing you are doing but unfortunately I am not in the market. Good luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communication has been real good, I'll let you all know when I get the parts. Shouldn't be long now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Hey Josh any possibility of carbon doors(MAJOR weigth savings)?

Shouldn't be long now. Excellant...please let us know how they turn out. I'm interested in these items as well. Header Panels would be a key item since almost no one has a decent header panel these days (including myself!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesh242 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hey Josh any possibility of carbon doors(MAJOR weigth savings)? Also/if not the inside lower door panels I am very interested in if you have any pics avalible. Thanks, Do you have any photos of your front bumper mods?...I like. I made a set of carbon base plates for my Starion and used some universal carbon APR mirrors (cheaper from Pegagus Racing in WI). I think they look alright...a bit small, but they do the job if adjusted properly...an improvement over stock in my opinion. I've also made a template for flat lower carbon fiber door panels. I'm getting ready to order the raw materials. The only challenge I have is how I'm going to mount the window controls...still working on that...will have to modify them or may have to get some aftermarket switches and mount in the lower door, dash or center counsel. My car is not a show car...it's more of play/track car w/ wally-weekender duties...LOL...plus it still holds my surf boards as long as there's nobody else in the car. Before paint job... http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee37/jonesh242/Picture186.jpg After paint job... http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee37/jonesh242/Starion018.jpg I'll post some pics once I get the door panels figured out.

Fuze Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Got the header panel and headlight covers yesterday. The parts look really good, mounting tabs, etc, everything just like stock. The weave is nice and straight, and the covers weave direction matches the header, which Josh matched to pics I sent him of my CF hood from 101. Yes indeed. The packaging was total a overkill of padding, foam and peanuts. I can't wait, the Starion's gonna be rolling HARD. Don't sleep guys, Josh knows what he's doing with these parts.

RWDAddict Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 How about CF louver set? I think that would be cool as hell. Not sure on it's difficulty though. I'm working on getting a nice metal set from another member. I can donate them to make the mold if i get a nice discount ;- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusion972 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 carbon fiber is nice and all but how about some one piece rear tail lights...something that spans the rear from left to right? meaning new tail light lenses, something like the ones made for the challenger, tinted clears would be hot.
