we have carbon fiber zr1 sideskirts on our z06... they dont pick up any gravel at all. they actually do something too

 

Im still working on a price for these but should around the $300 mark.

Ill get to work here soon on a prototype. It might spark more interest if you can actually see them on the car for real.

 

I am just curious if you have actually completed any of the multiple other projects you have posted on here? It seems like every thread is left with you saying it is being mocked up, but I have yet to see one design finished.

I am not trying to slam you, I am just curious. I like most of your designs, but I think you should concentrate on one part at a time.

 

I have started on many. But building a product is a long and tedious process. It cannot just be completed in one sitting. I come to points in the process where there is nothing else I can do on a particular product at that time (various reasons: waiting for more materials, waiting on manufacturer, ect..) so I start on another product in the mean time. I apologize for the time it is taking to get these products completed, but that is the exact reason I am not wasting any time and am jumping from one product to another. I feel that concentration on one product only leaves so much wasted time. If I have the time, why not put it to good use?

If I could have a video camera follow me around during my day you would see and understand honestly what a PITA the development of a product really is. I wish it could all come together smoothly but unfortunately that usually isnt the case. It seems that every time I fix one problem with a product I find one more.

Please continue to bare with me, I am doing the best I can.

 

I will bare with you. I love some of the ideas you have. There are a few that I will most likely purchase when they are ready. Keep up the good design work.

 

The rough prottype photoshop pics look a little too angular as others have mentioned. The angle and overall flow of the rear wheel well needs to be considered. If the skirts looked more like the blue car picture, I think you're headed in the right direction. With this type of car, there is a lot to be said for subtlety.

 

I understand what you are trying to say. when I build the prototype I will be sure that the piece fitting inside the wheel well flows smoothly with the curvature of the wheel well and is not so obvious and abrupt like in my photoshop picture.

 

Heres a new design. Im pretty happy with it. I also added some small lips to the front bumper. This was inspired by the C63 AMG

check it out and let me know what you think..

 

That looks pretty nice to me, I'd like to see some other-angle photoshops.

 

Which angles?

 

Looks nice. Put me down for a front lip if you ever make one.

 

I really like the look of this lip so I will definitely consider producing it. Something like this would be 2 separate pieces. Price would be around the $200 range if I had to guess??

 

that style front lip was available for the slk. called a pair of splitters. you may have better luck with them

 

Are you saying that SLK splitters will fit a crossfire? I wonder how close in design the bumpers are. There has to be a car out there that has a bumper of similar size and shape to the crossfire. If I found it, I could easily re-fiberglass a lip from that car to fit a crossfire.

 

I dont think he meant that they will fit crossfires.

But I can easily fabricate any lip from scratch. Its just the design that needs to be done first.

 

So would the lip be specific to the NA, or are you thinking of doing 2 versions for the different bumpers?

 

I would eventually make both.. But I would start with the n/a. I would need a donor car to be able to do the SRT

 

The SRT6 bumper. Its front lip would be great as an inexpensive addon for NAs, even something not identicle, but close would be great.

 

The Kleemann SLK R171 kit:

 

the splitters i was referring to were bolt ons made by carlsson for the r170 slk.
