as soon as i get my hands on a used front bumper the overlay will be in progress.

Keep in mind guys, this is REAL CARBON FIBER its not cheap stuff.

If someone has a CF hatch and wants to make a few bucks, i need the factory license plate thing so i can have my guy make a mold off of it.

Ya real carbon can get costly. It would probably be a good idea to get a price list even if it is just a estimated one going before you and the guy your working with invest to much time or $$. Everyone is probably interested but at what cost will they still be interested in these pieces?

08SWbox 10-01-2008 07:56 PM

i have to get a basic head count on who is interested in order to find out cost..

example, if we make 3 of one piece for $150 each, we can make 10 of them for $130 each.. If more people will buy the part, the cost of tooling is spread out much further and each piece becomes cheaper.

are you going have it in different colors besides black

08SWbox 10-01-2008 08:34 PM

parts that have hard curves are nearly impossible to do in colored CF.

The colors that are available are red, blue, silver, and regular black CF

DAILYXB-TYPE-R 10-01-2008 08:45 PM

which part would hard to do?

the vent rings would be impossible in colored CF as well as probably the radio bezel.

We are thinking about doing mirror covers as well...

If you need an extra bumper for the front bumper overlay let me know for sure and I can let you use mine. I dont use the stock one anymore.

DAILYXB-TYPE-R 10-08-2008 09:10 PM

got a list of what parts you're working on

Zsanz 10-08-2008 09:31 PM

hopefully one of them is a radiator cover..

DAILYXB-TYPE-R 10-08-2008 09:47 PM

that'll be a nice addition to the plain engine bay

boooosty 10-09-2008 05:48 AM

i want the front bumper overlay in carbon!

08SWbox 10-09-2008 08:10 AM

baby steps guys.

These parts take a while to tool and make. Not to mention, i personally have to come up with the upfront cost of the stock parts for him to use as a cast. As most of you know, factory parts arent cheap.

The bumper overlay and rad cover are goign to be complete first.
