Interest in carbon fiber pieces?

[NewCar]

A good friend of mine makes carbon fiber (Real cf) parts. G3 Composites LLC.
We're both enthusiasts as well of course & all supplies are sourced from the USA & all the work is done in the USA as well. He is based in FL. [:)]

I'm posting to see what parts (Interior and/or exterior) people may want made in carbon fiber.

If I get enough interest/paying customers I'd be happy to become a vendor on the forum.

I just sent him several pieces from my Corvette. Can't wait to get them back.

Here are some photos of some of his work:

Those are all decorative. Anything structural? Hoods? Trunks? Be nice to loose some weight.

Feel free to ignore me. After my current projects I need to cool it for a while. I'll be prowling again in summer.

Those parts can be done as well.

The under hood cover thingy that was done before in carbon fiber?

[slickster]

I think everyone would want there radiator cover done like you have. I'm thinging about the dash trim done. And also my Mach 1 chin ;)

[MOTOWN]

How about an intake tube??

[CBT]

How about a Marauder hood and trunk and wing?

[Odinson]

How about a Marauder hood and trunk and wing?

+1

Especially an OEM replica wing, but about 2 inches longer at the back. Might just have to shell out the bucks now for that.

Got the idea from the greenlight models. They made their spoilers to big on the models, but it looks good.

[NewCar]

PMs sent :)

Think he is talking about the intake tube metco used to make in carbon fiber

[DOOM]

Radiator cover and intake tube.

[MOTOWN]

Maybe someone with Pictures of said parts will chime in ^^^^^^^

[MMBLUE]

Radiator cover would prolly be the biggest hit around here. Most of us go to car shows etc and that would really be sporty.

Also, the fuse box cover and maybe a cover to hide the battery. My.02

[TUXrauder]

Sent him pics of the following:
radiator cover
door sills
piece under window buttons on all doors
gauge pod
a few other pieces under hood...
15MB of pics I am throwing on my shutterfly... (aint got the space on here...)

How many folks would be looking to purchase a carbon fiber intake tube today?

How many folks would be looking to purchase carbon fiber trunk lid, hood and/or stock spoiler today?

[Haggis]

Become a vendor and we will talk.

I will. I love being a beta tester.:D

[NATEHAWK]

I like the intake tube and rad cover. In the past the older ones that were made warped due to heat IIRC. Hope these won't do the same.

Interested in hood depending on price.

[88LTDCV351]

Sorry for the stupid question.

So would the benefit of carbon fiber hood and trunk be it can look stock but be lighter and stronger than OEM?

Or is carbon fiber just something flashy for show like intake tubes and door sills?

IMO lighter while still as strong. I'd paint it. Want to look stock. But the price can't be too high or it's not worth it. Cheaper to pick up more power once in the thousands range.

I'd say more MMs can get 35-50hp at about $1300-2300 depending on details, so that's a competitive price for a hood and trunk. figure that's 100lbs easy.

Now for someone at 600+hp on a blown aluminator, more could be a good deal compared to start from scratch engine swap.

[Fourth Horseman]

Would definitely buy a radiator cover. Missed out on them the last time they were built and I regret it.

[breeze]

This is what I want. Maybe the thread I posted can finally come alive.

[sanco]

would be beneficial to get a price for those pieces before commiting to buy, unless i missed it somewhere

there are a lot of people that will say yea im up for it, but when they find out the price for CF parts, its a sticker shock

I have a prototype for the air intake.
I am working on a cf radiator cover with a few upgrades to the original ones.
Pm me for details on the tube

CF can be for show or go (light weight). Whatever your goal is.

Yea, big parts like hoods & trunk lids are not cheap to do or buy. He'd need a few committed buyers before taking that on. :)

So if we have at least 5 people here ready to drop money on these items let's get it rolling.

[1stMerc]

I'd be in for a fuse box, throttle cable, vacuum box and radiator covers. If reasonably priced.

[ctrlraven]

This is what I want. Maybe the thread I posted can finally come alive.

Better open that wallet, would probably cost twice as much as the classglass fiberglass cowl hood.

[Odinson]

If you get the go on any parts please post prices I may be in. TIA.

[88LTDCV351]

Lighter panels also means better gas mileage when you don't put your foot into the pedal, no?

Would lighter cf hoods and trunks be OEM quality look and fitment or is there a potential for it to fit and look like the regular aftermarket garbage? Would hate to drop some serious coin for something that doesn't fit right or looks aftermarket.

[Blackened300a]

Radiator cover is a must do. I'll be a buyer for one of those. Maybe Carbon fiber bumper inserts as well. The hood would be a bit too ricer and the cost would be likely north of $1500.

Heres the intake tube that metco made.

I can take some measurements for you if you wanna duplicate it. I will not be removing it off my car and sending it out for R&R. These are far too rare and valuable to even consider that.

Everything is guaranteed to fit properly.

[visionmercury]

im would be in to a hood , radiator cover

[NewCar]

Ok so if it's something costly like a hood etc you can do that for one person. If it's a rad cover or something small etc you would have to doit in bulk order? So far I'm sure we got 30 guys ready for a rad cover how much for that? Or is it just a single transaction

[NewCar]

Smaller items like the rad cover for example, can be done as a 1 off.

[WhatsUpDOHC]

How about dash, door and shifter gate inserts?

[Joe Walsh]

I would definitely buy:

CF Fuse Box cover

CF Vacuum Box cover

CF Throttle cable cover

CF Air Filter Heat Sheild similar to the PHP stainless steel product that Paul has in his CF intake tube/engine photo.

BTW: Those various CF pieces look awesome!

This is a fairly conservative forum so if want people to commit your going to have to come up with at least ballpark prices.:)

I want to make sure that everyone knows he uses REAL carbon fiber as I think some folks are comparing his items to fake 3M wrap.

Before this thread goes any further, there MUST be a vendorship involved. There appears to be interest and therefore please contact MM03MOK about becoming a vendor. Until that time please refrain from "advertising".
