Guest fcz Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I need some opinions on some parts I am developing, or am about to develop. These will all be available in fiberglass and carbon fiber. 240z taillight panels- molds done Z valve cover-cover- designing now 280 carbon/FG dash cap- prepping now Basically just seeing what the interest there will be in each of these parts. Therefore I can make a prioritized list. All my products will be extra high quality at fair prices. I dont have prices yet. Since I have to make an actual part to figure out the labor and materials. Also, looking for other Z parts to reproduce, ones that will sell fairly well. thankyou Joel- Fiber Customs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240zxt Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Well, I'm already getting the taillight panel , but the valve cover would be pretty sweet. Any idea how much lighter it will be than the stock one? I think its already been established, but a lot of people like the rear hatch in carbon fiber along with a hood. I've got a hatch and a hood that you could use, but I dont think it would be worth it to get a hood shipped to you because of the weight. Do you have any picks of the taillight panels yet?

Synlubes Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Joel, It sure would be nice to have some solid headlight buckets for the early models (without the sugar scoop)(meaning, No Lights). Nice web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Joel, I do think a 240Z dash cap in CF would sell pretty well. I wish you the best in your endevours! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 280Z rear panel please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240zxt Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Speaking of the headlight buckets... Does anyone remember that Z that MSA used to have a lot of pictures of? It that the headlight buckets with the duel headlights (one headlight, one foglamp i think) that were a lot more aerodynamic? I always liked thouse. I'll look for a pick unless someone else can find one first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Jarvis Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 280Z rear panel please Ditto. In addition to a stock style, what about a bolt in with some alternate lighting, maybe like a Skyline style ? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 he has both a 280Z rear panel and 240Z rear panel. so im guessing he might be making both... i dunnoi though.. also the valve cover he is maken is just a cover that goes over the stock valve cover.. like MSA sells but he offers different colors, and im sure better work, and at a lower price. Me and Joel already talked about this but ill say.. Straight Carbon fiber Door panels. Carbon fiber Side markers. Carbon Fiber Headlight buckets. Carbon fiber door stills. Carbon fiber ZG flares Carbon fiber JDM fender mirrors. Carbon Fiber Hood. Carbon Fiber Rear Hatch. Carbon fiber Full dash caps mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240zxt Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I'll second the ZG flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I would like a carbon fibre dash cap for my 240 as It could be filled with foam and adapted to use as a nice looking race dash faily easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Jarvis Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 At one point someone also mentioned a splitter/chin spoiler for the MSA aero air dam. If the price were anywhere near right I would buy that.... Might be harder to do the plug for that one, requiring custom work, but I have seen a cut down Civic or S13 one that looked great somewhere (web, not in person) Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerware Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 fiberglass or carbonfiber center console or heater vent plate. Always thought that would look nice. Maybe glove box door. Just cool interior accents. I've thought of making rear compartment skins that incorporated a subwoofer. Pretty much anything interior. There's also new hood vents.

fl327 Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 good idea, I would love to see a 280zxturbo hood vent in cf, you could make both with option to buy one or two, I only want one, those would be very nice. Im in for the rear panel and hood vent if you make the vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We offer a 240Z fiberglass racing dash currently ($400.00) that would not have to be modified for your application. We do offer a carbon solution as well but it runs $1200.00 ZG flares are available through Classic Datsun, I am sure he can have a set done in CF for you. CF hoods and hatches are available through Classic Datsun as well. I would like to see the headlight covers with sugar scoop (all one piece) tailight panels, chin spoiler and other such items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc's240z Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Les, the owner of Classic Datsun is a friend of mine. I will ask him about that to see if he cant make an exception. He has the mould for it, I have one of his fiberglass ones. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
