You know, I actually considered that. Only thing is that since it's such a small part with so many curves it would be a pain in the butt to do. I could only imagine wrapping the factory piece in cf.

I am planning on looking into that. I know some people don't like the look of the metal components that attach it so I was thinking a combination of double sided tape as well as 4 bolts would be a nice alternative.

That should be an easy one to produce, I would alter the design of it a little to set it apart from the competition though.

That's what I thought you were referring to. Are you sure it comes in 4 pieces? That's the part that threw me off.

I think this car needs more side skirt options. Something that brings the body closer to the ground but not all cluttered up with strange body lines that make no sense.

Like the Foose ones: (these are from the prototype Stallion and are actually lower than the production version)

Let me know if you change your mind. I would be the first buyer if u do a carbon fiber IUP would be sweet too.

mirror covers?

door handles (interior)?

intake elbows?

intake manifold covers?

intake shields?

caps (like the chrome ones but CF)?

wheels?

tires?

brakes?

wings?

roofs?

trunk?







.... its all possible.. i mean the brakes would be a major break through and take some time to design.. but get on it!

ps.. the tires might take some real engineering as well.. =/

Haha, I'm looking into mirror covers, intake elbows, plenum covers and wings. Mine and tombstang's cars will be the guinea pigs but I'll be sure to post tons of pictures throughout the process.

I can't say for sure it comes in four pieces, I"m only assuming so since the side skirts and front lip is shown, some kind of rear lip would be a logical final piece. If not maybe make a rear lip styled after the CS/GT500 rear bumper lower section w/ the louvers. Hard to say if that would look any good though as a bolt on piece though.

Oh ok, I get it now. I thought you were referring to the front lip only. I was thinking to myself, how is that in 4 pieces?? haha

The few really custom ones in that style look great and I've seen a few really crappy ones reusing all the stock sheet metal but that one actually looks pretty good.
