you wanna make money? can you make body panels in carbon fiber? quarter panels, hatches, door, even a gas cap door would be sweet. not sure if you can match those sizes and shapes, but if you can, I think youd find alot of people on here good for that.

We can do them but

But we make TrueMOLD carbon fiber parts !!

Vacum packed and sent into a autoclav .

There is no fiberglass in the parts we make.

100% carbon fiber all the way through

So lets say if we made a carbon fiber hood it would around be 2500.00 .

not to many people will pay that when the can buy the cheaper

wet lamiante parts from VIS or fiber images .

We are more a japan carbon company like Feels or J's racing

they also make TRue carbon fiber parts

As much as we would love to do it there just wouldn't be enough people to spend that kind of money on those parts.

We let the other companys handle that

and IPT does parts that nobody does

Talking nice work

Looks like you guys do quality work. I have many years' experience with aerospace-quality carbon fiber structures and it's nice to see someone in the automotive aftermarket that's not pushing wet layup CRAP.

I would much rather have my aluminum hood than the inferior, "looks fast" garbage that's out there. If it costs less than a grand, it'll be junk.

I am a pretentious carbon fiber guy. No apologies. :-P

Your products look great. Personally, I'd recommend that you guys look into surveying interest for a CF strut bar cover (the plastic piece with the Z on it) and some dash pieces, particularly the radio area, the passenger side dash, and possibly the center console. IMHO, all of these would sell well, ESPECIALLY the strut cover... look forward to seeing your work on the Z in the future.

Default Thinking the samething

I forgot to mention that...I also would love to get a color matched or regular CF strut bar cover. That would be so HOT!

I'd also take the rear strut cover and I do like the idea of interior parts - the car is a little weak there. Also, waiting for the front lip.

I'm interested in the engine cover for sure.

Be nice if someone made battery/brake resivoir covers too. I don't like those chinky plastic ones.

just ordered mine from courtesynissan. i really like this mod because it wipes the happy smile off the z's 'face'...makes it look meaner....at the same time it doesn't hang lower than stock so you're not scraping the front everywhere you go. I have a driveway that srapes the front chin spoiler already...anything lower installed and it would get ripped to shreads.

i really wanted the veilside v1 in CF but the quality sounds dubious.

Very few understand what us niche-market business owners specialize in...

Its too bad so many companies are selling carbon-fiberGLASS (vaneer)... and people hapilly sport it on their cars, non-painted, as if its jewelry.

Now if I had a TRUE carbon fiber hood.. then maybe, just maybe.. I would consider leaving... well nah, I've always liked painted hoods.

Nice work.
