rd=roadster drift? Never heard of it. I am going to put them up over there soon. Just wanted you guys to get first grabs.
|
Can you do them in CF?
|
From a looks standpoint, it would be difficult to get the material to go over everything without messing up the weave, but doable. I don't think they would weight less than the fiberglass though. It is all pretty light as it is. Are you just asking from an aesthetic view?

Let me see what I can do. I need to get my fiberglass supplier to send over some carbon to play with and work a couple molds with it. Everything else in this industry has come down in price the last couple months, but carbon is still $40/Yard. Kinda sucks.

I have made exact copies of the Tuckin '99 flares for the NA Miata. $450 shipped anywhere in the contiguous states.

These are a built better than the Tuckin flares in my mind. The Tuckin flares are more brittle and less flexible, but weigh the same. There is also not a 6 month wait for these like with theirs. |
look for Cspence's car, he has them on his

any pics of these fitted to a car?
The ones on my car were the originals that Robert used to make the molds....judging from his pictures they are EXACT replicas! |
Is there anyway to color the gel coat black?
|

lulz. Pretty sure he said no in the hood thread. |
I can make it black, but black gel coat would add $25 to it. Black gel coat is much more expensive and I have to use a better brand to get it to come out right. Currently they are grey, which is much more forgiving and will be painted.
|
I am going to try to make a set of these in carbon fiber over the Christmas/New Years time if anyone besides Bill is interested.
|
how much more? I'm listening???? :hustler: are there any pics of your fiberglass ones on cars?

are there any pics of your fiberglass ones on our cars? I asked for the ones he made not tuckin 99 yes I know there the same I just wanted to see fitment... thats all? |
I can snap a couple pictures of mine if you want, but they fit/look exactly the same as the Tuckin' models. Mine are more forgiving to flex than theirs though.

well I'll take your word for it but what about those carbon fibre ones? lol how much would those be :noes:
|
I will have to see how much of a pain it is to make these and what the materials cost will be. Shouldn't be substantially more.
|
well damn if it all works out for ya I very well may be interested I has a job now so the miota is gonna get sexy fast lol but seriously if not i'll still want them eventually... along with your hood with the molded lids
