scottyMIz Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 as many of you know the 280yz flares dont come with headlight buckets so i got a mold from my old metal ones so i can mold them right into the yz flares. I was thinking of making a mold of the finished front fenders to make some spares or sell em. I have a buddy that does carbon fiber and fiberglass work and he told me he can make either just the buckets or the whole fender if people showed enough intrest. I dont know the price but it all depends on what ppl want if they want fiberglass or just a light cf piece it's cheaper cuz he can use scraps. If ppl want a nice visual part then it will cost more cuz he has to use a whole piece of cf. I'll get more pics when i make my new buckets and get them grafted in.

jeeper42 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Keep us posted...I know I'd be interested. I'd really like a one-piece front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyMIz Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 i will keep this updated as i get mine done, as i told kenny my buddy was estimating 200 to 250 or so for a set of CF buckets with good finish. He told me there has to be seams in the CF because of the shape of the bucket but he can hide them well. As for fenders those will be alot more for CF but for glass i am unsure of the price. For just a cf look it could be alot cheaper since the "look" is a cheaper material.As soon as i find out i will post it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyMIz Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 ok talked with my buddy and he is definately game to make some cf buckets. I am gonna have him make a set out of the scraps of cf he has to see how they are gonna pull and look. He is also interested in making the front fenders with buckets already molded in. We might be able to offer a whole kit with bumpers and side skirts once my car is finished. I will get a lot of pics when i start the making the new buckets and forming them in. I plan to make the new buckets tomorrow after my finish work on the molds is done(smoothing and filling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 If you happen to make some wide body kit versions like reaction research, then I'm game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyMIz Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 yea they would be like the 280yz kit but it would have some differences of course. I plan the buckets of course and i want to keep my insepction doors so i plan to cut those in as well. The sides will have a skirt kinda like an msa kit and the back i plan to put some mounting tabs on the inside so they can be mounted easily along with molding the side skirts into both front and rear. I am also going to make the msa bumpers i have 4 inches wider front and rear. i want the kit i make to be a street version of the race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
