Default Carbon Fiber fabricator wanted!

Anyone out there fabricating there own carbon fiber parts? The reason I ask is for this door handle dragless thing here:

https://my350z.com/forum/body-exteri...now-stock.html

I absolutly want this for my PPW Z but for more like $70, not $850. I am sure that many of us are looking for somthing like this as well as there is no competition. Very surprised Asuka or Mastergrade has not jumped on this. Even on special order, is there anyone that can make this for me?

I thought about it, but I dont want to spend the initial $850 for the original.

If there is enough interest we could do something like that.

I think it would sell great, everyone loves carbon fiber but shipping on large parts such as hoods, roofs, fenders and body kits is to much and just drains the pocket. Everyone jumps on smaller items that ship for cheap and dont put yea out a small fortune. Think about it or save on buying theres and make one the Asuka way.

By "I", I didn't say a company name and it deffinetly wouldn't be Asuka. Asuka has nothing to do with replicas.

Yea I know what you mean. Thats why I said buy and replicate or do it the Asuka way. "Make from scratch" Either way I know people would jump on them. I would kill for a set at standard carbon fiber price like the engine cover.

I am not stuck on the Mines design as it is basic, I really would like to see the same concept with an Asuka or Mastergrade twist.

Anyone else besides Robbinsj interested in thee? What would you honestly expect to pay for a quality carbon fiber set.

Well, battery covers run 60$ and engine covers are around 90. If your the only one producing it I would say $100 - $150. But if they where mass produced by many and common like the battery covers they would be $60-.
So if you jump on it now you could name your own price. Concidering the only other competition is $850. Tag it Asuka and change the style I would say it could even hit $200+. Only would drop the price if it is the same as Mine's cus then it would be concidered a replica.

Here is another person that posted asking if it could be made.

Again, Asuka does NOTHING with replicas. I dont know why your stuck on that name.

If we were to do it they wouldn't be any less then $400. These aren't very easy to make and the cost of molding it crazy for our process.
