Ideas for Carbon Fiber

[SolidState]

I think you mean ceramic.

no, I think he mean CF. There are carbon fibre brake rotors out there. The Corvette C5R used protoypes at a LeMans race...

GTP mirrors are U.G.L.Y.

Tho a stock looking mirror with a strip of LEDs for turn signals (like the Acura TSX) would be cool. I'll be painting them black so I couldn't care less if they're CF or not, but the LED is key.

Yes! This is totally whaty I was thinking too....I like the turn signals in the mirrors....

I really like the idea of replacing the sunroof glass making it a moon roof.

Yep, I was talking about carbon fiber.

Exactly what he said.

A carbon fiber hood with a clear acrylic/plexiglass "window" just big enough so you could see the intake perfectly framed.

I have always wanted to cut a hole in my hood and figure out some kind of acrylic "window" for the motor.

OMG I cant beleive you can say that. I LOVE GTP mirrors. I dont agree they would look good on a SHO though.

anyone see a photo of Kirk Doucette's old SHO? Stormtrooper?

He had them installed ... just do a search cause I don't have the photos handy

I think those mirrors look close to the Grand Am GT mirrors. A car my mom has and I'm not too big on having them on my car. They look to big and square and bulky. I like the nice round, smaller mirrors from the Taurus.
BUt hey, I guess it's how many people like what style better. NOt what one person likes. Unless that one person has enough money to just get their own style made.

So LOUDSHO92 have you made any choices yet or atleast came up with a few opitons of what yuo might wanna do next? And will you be doing gen3 stuff also since Alex aint around no more??

 

[LOUDSHO92]

Well I am still selling then Gen3 Hoods.

As far as doing other Gen3 products, I am willing I just need the interest.

I am looking into the various products mentioned, its just most require vaccum forming which my guy doesnt. So I need to find some one willing to do it. So it may take a bit.

As far as fenders, no one seems interested, in fact when I asked, some were hostle about it, so I am not too willing to do it, unless enough are interested. I will do trunks and otehr parts. I just need to find some one else to do the others.

 

[SHO92]

Would the CF can require vacuum forming? I know it can be done with a center tube and 2 C sections with the CF sandwiched inbetween. There would be 2 visible seams though verse just 1 if it were bagged.

I'd buy a CF can if it were done either way.

 

[Sh03d]

So would I.

 

[LOUDSHO92]

I realise that. They were not omfortable doing it despite me telling them that most wouldnt mind of the pattern wasnt perfect.

We actually are closing in on havignt hem made though. So we might be having them made soon.
