[QUOTE=jfairladyzI will only be offering the replacement for the glass though. The rest of it is up to you, because I don't want to be responsible for any damage like to the weatherstripping. That stuff is expensive. Probably cost more then the CF part would.
[/QUOTE] Haha, that's probably why even I'd hesitate on that mod. Mine don't leak right now, so even though it's weight savings, I probably shouldn't tempt fate... |

That would shave a significant amount of weight while allowing you to retain your stock fron end, or aftermarket. Anyone like that idea?

No, not street legal. But that's only if tell anyone.
Seriously though, as strong as carbon is, I don't know how much of a frontal impact it would stand up to. It doesn't absorb energy like the metal support does. If it does receive enough stress, it won't deform, it'll just break. That's one part that wont have accident warranty coverage. Then there's the fact that most of the cars on the road would probably just slide right over the bumper and right onto the hood anyways. Especialy if your Z is lowered with my new Carbon Fiber Lowering Springs. That last part was a joke. I better not get any requests for that one. |

i was thinking a C/F B-pillar "thing" :o i dont know what it called, but it on the outside of the b-pillar i think that would look trick :cool:

There yours for only $ 6.000. They'll lower your Z approximately 6" and your car will handle like it's riding on Carbon Fiber springs, or the frame rails. which ever sounds better.

Actually, that would look really good. I'm gonna have to make those too. Give me time people, all I need is time. Oh and your money too. Oh by the way, I can cover anything in carbon fiber too. so if you don't want to wait for a mold for a part, you can send me a part, and I can just cover it in Carbon Fiber or Carbon Kevlar. If you're just going for that cosmetic look. Hell, I could cover your whole car in Carbon. |
:D

I'll try to track him down and let him know that you guys are getting anxious. I'm sure he's working on getting it done. I'll let you guys know when I find something out ;)

Chewbakavette or something, right? He has been gone for quite a while

Last I heard he was selling that car I think. So I guess that means the Ferrari kit is a no-go :confused:
Too bad. That woulda been pretty slick. |
