Anyone know if the make aluminum door sills for 2nd gens like the 3rd gens have?

Seppuku 01-12-2005 02:38 PM

That would be nice, but i have the feeling no one would buy them or pay the money for them if they were made.

Apex13B 01-12-2005 04:51 PM

you're going to have to make them

RETed 01-14-2005 11:09 PM

people dont pay $100 for new FTP lenses or window molding, which when you put new ones on makes such a difference with the car, they sure arent going to pay for something you only see for 2 seconds when you open the door!

I would be interested in alum or CF, I think aluminum would be great, you could just buff the scratches out if needed.

If you decide to make some let me know.

I bought a Stainless set from Japandy on ebay that were supposed to fit. They didnt. I paid $35 plus $30 for shipping from Japan. Needless to say, I was pissed. They do say Eunos on them, which I know is either a company or designation that represents miatas and I think maybe the cosmo? Just like how savanna is the sub-company for RX-7's.

show pics of quality and list price and I will respond.

Eunos was the "company" that made the last gen cosmo. And a correction, FC owners won't pay that kind of money.

You tell me what you think a fair price for a set of perfect quality carbon fiber door sills is to you, and if its worth my time, then you can consider it done.



The problem is not many FC owners are willing to spend the money for even a mass-produced cf part, and on top of that, they cant agree on a single design for a mass produced part. When you want custom things I cant expect to sell more than a couple of, you have to pay a custom price.



If you can dream it up, I can make it out of carbon fiber. If you can pay for it, I will make it.

G2G 01-26-2005 06:13 AM

Oh I completely agree. I'm not saying that the pricing is bogus because it's not. I'm saying that FC owners are cheap bastards. I've seen how many times FC owners will say oh my gosh yeah I'll buy that count me down for one, then once the price comes out they back off.
