carbon fenders and hood

[dieingsvx]

i'm sure some one has posted something about this before, but here's my take.  i'm going to build a few carbon fenders and panels for my car.  since i'll be making molds think any one would have any interest in something like that?  i've bought aftermarket ones, but they all use shit carbon with shit polyester resin.  if anyone has any interest in it i can post of specs of the materials i use and my background, which is composites. build carbon jet skis, yacht tneders, and working on a 55' power cat with twin 570hp cummin's

I would be interested but what car are you making these for? I have an FC

Where are you located?

[dieingsvx]

Florida.

Or if anyone has any ideas let me know.  Always open to suggestions.

Pending price, fitment, quality and how they look I'd be interested. When you make them, keep us updated.

I already have a carbon hood but depending quality and price I would be interested in this as well.

Ditto for me, I'd like a fiberglass option if it ended up being a lot cheaper and could probably pick them up since shipping seems to be a hassle with fenders, what part of florida are you in?

i don't have any recent pics on this computer, but here's two i had on my phone.

i couldn't give a price until i'm happy with a layup and lots of other things.  i order my resin 4 drums at a time and usually order the carbon at least a 1000 yards at a time.  so i get a decent break on materials. like i said before, the difference will be the fact it's a strong piece and not shit.  the carbon i use has a tensile strength of 714. it's 28.6 ounce. which means it's 4 times thicker then the average visual carbon which is shit.  most guys use polyester resin.  i use a uv stable epoxy and an in mold coating of a 2k uv resistant clear.  only been using this combo for a year and a half and it's held up great on a sample i just leave outside.  sorry i know that didn't answer anyones real questions haha.

Really couldn't say whether or not I'd personally be interested until the final product, but I'm definitely interested to see the final product.
Will the hood be an oem style or will it be some over the top vented hood? I'm only interested in the oem shape. Or maybe an OEM+Cowl look.

i might do a tiny bump similar to a m3.  the first will be oem style though.

Joel-  ship your FD  Ronin widebody molds and finally start producing some parts.  It's been something like a 2 year wait.
