Carbon Fiber Parts
First off, thanks to all of you who have bought accessory items from me. That said, I have been watching the requests for various body kit parts for years on this site. I have found a local mfg who can make various parts for us using the "wet" carbon fiber process. There is a fiberglass components wrapped in genuine CF, while not a light as "dry" carbon fiber, it is more durable (needing less maintenance) because true CF can break down due to exposure to the son, and is much more cost effective.
Each part will cost $1200 for them to make the mold and we would have to provide a physical sample to them. Initially there is a 50 unit order for custom front and rear lips and 20 units for hoods, doors etc.
The MSRP for these items run around $480 for the lips and $720 for the hood and side skirts. Group buys would get about a 25% discount (plus mold and proto costs spread amongst all).
I know what a mess was caused by the last side skirt fiasco and do not wish to repeat. But I would like to know if there is actually enough interest in doing this. This is something that will not happen overnight. If there is enough interest, any deposits would be put into an escrow account (other than the initial setup costs) so if something went wrong, you would get your money back.
Thanks
