    Carbon Fiber Needs?

    in Body Kits & Paint

    Posted

    I agree... interior pieces would be excellent.

     

     

    I just think once the front splitter was produced and a rear diffuser.. people would see the price and then put it on their wish list and NEVER buy them.

     

    The few people who actually have money would buy them, but it would not be worthwhile for the producer.

    To be honest I think if he manufactured the carbon fiber splitter's.. the price would scare everyone away.

     

    Carbon fiber is gradually increasing in price.. and a large MULTI-LAYER panel would be really pricey. (Starting from in front of the bumper, back to the front cross member) **eBay sells 65'' L X 18'' W X .0125" carbon splitters for $150 plus $75 for shipping**

     

    Here is a general idea.. a local company has carbon fiber available for $50 per yard. that's 50" inches by 36" inches. Now one layer would be way too weak.. in fact it will flex.. ALOT. One good layer would be around $100~ish. Now imagine the epoxy, manufacturing, cutting, trimming, sanding, polishing would add more money. Now run several layers of it.. im sure you can add it up.

     

    You could probably make several aluminum units for the same price.

     

    if you like the look, maybe just cover the aluminum with carbon?

    Anyone seen the commercial where 2 guys are walking through a parking lot.. while one is describing how much his friend will really like the car and how mint it is...

     

    as they walk up to the car they see a orange Z car with the wheels, doors and hood taken off..

     

    the guy selling the car mentions at least they left the stereo.. lol

     

    Anyway I tried to search for the commercial but no luck. But its a cool observation.

    For my L28 turbo.. I ended up buying 2 180 degree U-bends...

     

    You can cut 90 degree elbows or 45's or straights and everything all right in front of you. I would buy those and some longer straights with silicone couplers and you should be good!

     

     

    Take a peak at some pictures of members running a RB25 and you can get a really good idea on what you need
