Ive been looking for a min, wondering if anyone can help out. Im looking for a carbon fiber hood, and trunk. i saw a group deal when i first got on the Org for the trunk and hood. but now that i have the money i cant find it.

 

i believe fiber images (www.fiberimages.com) makes hoods for our cars however there are no cf trunks made for our cars yet.

imo,
it would be awesome if someone made a carbon fiber trunk that alread had the reflector shaved.

 

that would be great. i would love a cf trunk with the center already shaved.

 

i can get them made if there is enough people that want it plus they have to leave a deposit on it .. i talked t the guy and thats what he said

 

anyone in so. cali located near ontario then hit me up for the b/k he makes too .. we need a test car

 

...i need a lid shaved for wrx tails.

 

did he give you a quote on how much each person would pay?

 

Yeah, I would be possibly interested. It depends upon the price. I have to get new struts and springs for my Max, and would possibly hold off getting the stereo done in my truck if the price for the trunk is right.

 

i was hoping the reflector was shaved already. if we can get a deal going on a hood and trunk from the same place that would be perfect.

 

And guess who is fiberimages dealer?.... www.aeiperformance.com And they seem to only sell through dealers.

 

I'll be in for the trunk no doubt.

 

the problem with the trunk and having it already shaved is that the donor car would have to have the trunk already shaved for them to get a mold out of it. If not they will have to use a regular trunk and either make the mold with the center section on which would look funny since its not "perfectly" flush with the trunk OR make the mold without the center section on for you to add it later.

IMO a CF trunk would look ugly if you had to put your center section back on. I mean think about it...you have this nice CF piece and then you attach a red piece of plastic to it...UGLY. Now if you were just wanting it for stealth and were going to paint it body color then yeah putting the center piece on wouldnt look bad.

I seriously doubt this gets done though. They wanted $500 for the hood plus shipping when it was made. I am sure the trunk will not be much less.

Get up a deal and see though...never hurts to try I guess.

 

I'm always down for carbon fiber!! lol

 

I'd be down for that, too. But Mike put it best in his post, and I have to agree with him - it's gonna be interesting to see if this gets done.

 

If everything works out with it, I'm definitely in.

 

I live in So. Cal and would offer up my car as the donor depending on how long they would need it for? Let me know. Hell, I might even have to shave my trunk if it would mean getting a carbon fiber one after? Let me know.

 

Is anyone willing to try to talk to these guys? I would do it but im not familiar with this company, or how i would aproach it.

 

the center will be shaved he said and anywhere from 350-450 hummmm.. and they dont need the car for da b/k anymore just bought another one... there using that one.... but if anyone really wants a cf trunk and has money for a deposit then email me and ill set you up with them.....SpRuNgMoNkEy69@aol.com

 

Ohh, if I only had the extra money right now. But I have other more important things to buy right now. My alternator just went out.

 

Now that my car is busted i gotta wait to see whats going to happen. if im keeping it im definitely in. Dont forget bout me.

 

How long will it take to make and ship? How much $ for a deposit.

 

Going To The Guys Shop This Morning Will Be Back With Prices... From What I Know About Shipping With Him Its C. O .d For The Shipping.... Meaning For Those That Dont Know You Pay For The Shipping When You Get The Part/s

 

i need to get some braces for my cat...so i'm out..sorry.

 

U get them prices yet? Looks like ill be fixing my car so all systems go.

 

i may be in depending on the price. what does everyone think of keeping the 2 reflector grooves for the mold? no reflector, just the grooves to match up with the turn signals. i think it might look nice...

 

they wouldnt do it though because then it would be even more specific. Instead of one trunk that would fit the 89-94 max they would have to make 2 trunks...one for the 89-91 and another for the 92-94. The reflector "grooves" as you call it are different for them.

 

This will be so sick if we get this done. Might as well go all the way. Who's down for a carbon fiber roof!! Sike nah, but did anyone read the thread on the wide body kit, and the new kit for the max? what do yall think?

 

We really need for this group deal to follow through!! I need this lid!! lol

 

like i emailed someone..... he is going to tell me the price when i go pick up my max from him... at the very latest monday morning... im pretty sure by saturday.... i need to know who is going to get one no matter what?????? i say it will not be over 450 500 i hope like 280-375 but reality we want no reflector so i would say about 400 thats extra work you know what i mean......... simple!!! but someone elses time and pricing......

 

find out what kind of weave they use, what kind of inner structure it will have. If it will be a bolt on trunk that uses stock latches (I refuse to use hood pins on the hood much less the trunk). will it be clear coated etc. etc.

The big thing is the weave. If the weave doesnt match the fiber images hood then there is no point in buying the trunk. I am not sure if other people are as picky as me but I wouldnt want a CF hood and trunk that didnt match. A little too ricy for me.

Matter of fact I would be leary of buying a trunk and hood from 2 different places because it may be hard to match them just right because it depends on where they get their CF from and if the weave is the same (size and style).

 

unless you buy them for weight savings and just have the carbon painted over...

i know some people would rather have the carbon look though (like me) and wouldn't want to paint over something that looks that good.

 

Im so down its not even funny. Are we doing a group deal on the hood and the trunk? I got to know soon cus my car is going into the shop maybe tommarrow or monday. if we cant get the trunk then im shaving mine.

 

I'm in but I need to know specific prices. I am interested in doing some visual mods before the summer. Plus my max has to go to a body shop so I need to know where to allocate which funds. If I have like 6 weeks to pay off the kit and trunk then I'm all in. But how much for a deposit and how much time needed between that and final payment?

 

i know for the kit it will be 300 and im not sure for cf trunk like 150???????

 

aha, you're right, the grooves don't even exist past 91.. i never noticed, not surprising though since i avoid looking at 92-94 tails and grilles to avoid nausea jk...

 

Im curious if the shaved part will be flush with the taillights or will it be sunk in as if the centerpiece was just removed. and, of course, how much.

 

I love those tails swowlinc. You make those?

 

Nope I bought them from neverending off da org. I love em too, couldnt pass em up. This is why I NEED this deal to work out. But if not I will try to vinyl the center piece.
