GI: what do you guys want in carbon fiber? - Page 3

metheores · 10-02-2008, 03:17 PM

an airbag :O or a steering wheel, some rims would be nice too. or carbon fiber brakes. lol just kidding.

EDIT: CARBON FIBER VALVE COVER !!!!!

guamie · 10-02-2008, 03:35 PM

Yes very interested in the interior (Dash, Door Panels, etc....) and would be willing to pay top dollar if craftsmanship is worth it...as for a dream sheet maybe doors, side vents and fenders...hell even if you did it in fiberglass to save on costs that would lighten up the MR2 and I'm sure someone out there would buy it...I know I would....

Lil Blue Bastard · 10-02-2008, 04:25 PM

I would be very interested in getting the little exterior B pillar trim pieces for MK1 in CF!

And sunroof delete for sure as well!

jazzcornet · 10-02-2008, 07:09 PM

fenders are a definate possibility. hoods and such are just a large PITA to ship and would raise the price significantly

next on our list will be the sunroof for mk2 and the remaining dash trim pieces.

miracleman, i would love to do that piece in carbon. as well as the radiator shield!!! that would be a pretty nifty idea

jazzcornet- Please let me know if you do get one made I would love it!!! Along with the radiator shield!!!! I would be down for that! If you check out my thread about the clutch cylinder problem you will see why I want to cover up some ugly spots!!!!

jlantz85 · 10-03-2008, 03:54 AM

i would buy about any interior peice, and is it possible for a carbon fiber center of a trd wing? i,ve looked everywhere and cant find one. i could even ship you the center peice i have now if needed.

jazzcornet · 10-03-2008, 09:56 PM

the center piece can be made for you specifically. i seriously doubt anyone will have interest in this. if you sacrifice your center piece to be made in pure carbon fiber, you will have to pay tooling fees as well as the cost of the main mold. I will not make any profit from that, i will simply be a liason between you and my fabricator. in the event other people want to have it done as well, i would be willing to cut you in on the profit since i will already have the mold. if that sounds good to you, then you can go ahead and send your center piece....turnaround should be about three to five weeks

nitrate · 10-03-2008, 10:45 PM

im sure people will line up to buy MK1 front lowers stock. and rear lower 1/4s

jazzcornet · 10-03-2008, 11:00 PM

thanks john, i'll keep that in mind.

TRD_MR2_DRGN · 10-08-2008, 02:28 AM

Ohhhhhh.....ohhhhhhhh......how about a timing belt cover!!!!!!! And you could put a plexi-glass or some kind of clear window on the face and the top of the cover. I would settle for just the top half to save on cost. I need a new one so if its not expensive, I'm in.

or how about a valve cover. This would be cool, but not that big of a deal, probably cost too much.

jazzcornet · 10-08-2008, 06:39 AM

That is a great idea!!! But I'm sure it will be one or the other. Either carbon or plexi, I doubt we can do them both

TRD_MR2_DRGN · 10-09-2008, 02:07 AM

If it's either one, I'd rather have plexi to show off the cams and belt.

jazzcornet · 10-09-2008, 03:36 PM

oem A pillars are on the list. but not the a-pillar guage pods.

jazzcornet · 10-25-2008, 11:27 AM

how about the rear 1/4 window surrounds and the rear window long piece? the tooling will be a bit so i would need some interest in that before i'll do it, but i want them on my car, so i figured someone else probably would too.

rousegk7 · 10-28-2008, 08:22 AM

I am pretty sure demand would be dependent on price. . .

psuPbikeRider88 · 10-28-2008, 12:46 PM

yeah, the whole interior thing sounds really really good, but it also sounds really expensive

Any ideas how much this interior kit would cost? (rough estimate)

guamie · 10-28-2008, 01:10 PM

yes I agree any interior piece would be great for show setup. but as I said before if you create them in fiberglass to save on costs I'm sure there will be enough people for GB.

psuPbikeRider88 · 10-28-2008, 01:35 PM

Yeah, fiberglass would be nice. Some different color options would be cool too. Any guesses on price of something like that?

jazzcornet · 10-28-2008, 03:39 PM

i'll be heading down to my carbon fabricator this evening with a few parts for him to look at. when i get some quotes from him, i will relay the messages to you guys

jazzcornet · 10-28-2008, 11:27 PM

didnt make it over there tonight. i'll for sure be there around 9pm tomorrow though. i'll give you guys an update when i return.
