Nemesis280zx Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I was wondering what kind of attention I would get if I started making fiberglass parts for the 240Z and 280Z. I wanted to start making fiberglass fenders, hoods, etc. That type of stuff. Let me know what everyone thinks about this. I also want to try to sell these at a reasonable price. Thanks.

S30TRBO Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think this is a great idea. Keep us informed from conception to final product. Pictures along the way is a plus!! I would love to have a set of doors and fenders. Before you get too crazy dollar amounts would be nice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM73240Z Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 customer support would be a huge plus. there are several people that make said products and no customer service or support. they are not well liked around here. then there are others like beta and 280zone with customer service and support. good prices, good product, good relations are key. i, like others, will pay a little more for someone to call me back, make a product that fits (relatively well on out old cars), and looks good. we could always use more good fg parts for our cars. good luck jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Definitely interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndeli55 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 ive been looking for some fg at a reasonable price, if you could do it i would most likely be in, depending on price. but customer care, like stated above would be worthy a sizeable tradeoff. a tilt forward front end would be awesome.

silversix Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 FG front fenders would be a great option for those of us that have rust issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis280zx Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Yea I will definately have good good customer relations. I've sold other stuff on here and I have always kept in contact with my customers, so thats no problem. I definately want to make the prices reasonable cause a lot of fiberglass out there is sold really expensive, so I will look into it. I will keep you guys posted on this.

glogan Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hey Miguel, what about some Z/G flares? I'll definitely buy some if you hook it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 FG Dash replacement? Might be a little tough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 PDK makes a fiberglass dash, I would be interested in one that was more "street orientated" though. One that used the stock mounting points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myplasticegg Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i've been having one heck of a time finding solid glass fenders. I am willing to pay good money for a good product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis280zx Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 I really want to make this happen. My plan is to make everything that can be made into a Fiberglass replacement for the Z. Including dashes, center consoles, hood scoops, roof scoops, spoilers, flares, etc. This is a big thing though, so its gonna be kind of tough. I really want to try it though. If you guys have anymore ideas let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jknc90 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 A good idea IMHO would be replacement rear corners (beside/below taillights). I'm not sure how feasible this is, but it would come in handy if you get rear ended. This area but extending lower: http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n255/guitarnie/clamp.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I think that a fiberglass L88 style hood would be refreshing compared to the other cowl induction hoods on the market - one that will allow room for the L series engine (bubble portion extending forward far enough).

Guest Ware1320 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 How about a reasonably-priced g-nose? Thought about a one-piece tilt front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Miguel, I don't want to discourage you from persuing your dream but I got to ask. How much do you know about fiberglass? Have you build any fiberglass parts before? Do you have a place to work? Do you have the $? Fiberglass business is no jokes. I suggest you contact John Washington for some advice before you persue your dream. Good luck V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buZy Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 PDK makes a fiberglass dash, I would be interested in one that was more "street orientated" though. One that used the stock mounting points. A FG dash using the early Z oem mount points would be cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmonster80 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I bought a set of CF door panels from Pete. Top notch. However I do not think he had enough business to continue. I will approach him later concerning my KGC10 panels. Something to think about is turn around time vs. price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyvig Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Miguel, I live in Chandler. If you need cars to fab up parts let me know. I have my new 240 that i will be interested in parts for, a 280 and a 280zx. Let me know if you need the cars to do some test fitting on.
