    Carbon Fiber Hood Inserts & Other Parts.

    I've been talking with a guy locally where I live and he is doing molds for fiberglass and carbon fiber. I'm going to let him take parts off of my vehicle to make the molds. Unlike most custom applications for our vehicles, this will not require a certain amount of buyers, deadlines or money upfront to get this project going. The molds are being made to do parts on my vehicle and since they will be laying around his shop, is open to make: hood inserts, hood, cladding, and interior pieces for anyone else that would be interested. We are meeting tomorrow to discuss prices for each piece and I will post that price list tomorrow. He is wanting to know if anyone else would be interested and what you would want done, that way I can give up those pieces for the molds.

    Also, in past post I know hood scoops have been an issue due to people with different taste. I asked about that as well and there is no problem doing different add-ons. You can have it stock or modified.

    Carbon fiber can be done in different colors as well as the finished product being done in raw or clear.

    The mirror covers will be a replica of my mirrors and the tail light covers I will have to buy from Japan and then make a mold of them, that way they can be made here and sold.

    I'm starting with my insert, but will also be making a mold of the hood too. Basically if I can take it off my Vehicross he is going to make a mold of it. I'm doing certain parts for mine, but willing to spare anything else for a mold if someone wants anything else. At least this way there will be someone that has molds of our limited run parts, to make replacements if something ever happens to our originals.

    Sorry guys for postings so late, I put in a 12 hour day at work and didn't get to stop in the shop to get the price list. I've already called and set an appointment for tomorrow and will post it up around this time tomorrow. Also, just to let everyone know, in the next few weeks the VX will be garaged to get stripped for molds, so that gives everyone time to think of what it is they would like in the future. Everyone that has or will be posting I've wrote down the parts you would like in Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass and for now will be just getting prices for those and for the things that I'm doing that no one has mentioned yet.

    Sorry for a late reply, I will get in touch with him and PM you an answer in the next few days
    NP, just let me know, seems it would save him a bunch of time.

    And for those interested in the insert w/scoop here is a pic of my scoop
    And despite a great earlier debate.... it definately does cool the engine if you cut your hood undeneath inbetween hood supports. Keeps my S/C nice and cool.

    Let me know
