I definitly wouldnt make them for a TII, FD guys spend the cash, not

FC guys. Besides S5 FCs cant use them anyhow.



I guess I am spoiled when it comes to doing side projects, I wont

take on projects if Im not going to make money on them.

plus the fact I only use TOP grade materials and have a tendency to be

extremely critical of my own work, a by-product of working on boats all day.



I see no money being made in this for me.

For someone using cheap epoxy with no uv shield, then laying one layer of

CF and then maybe one more layer of glass- they can make it cheap. I cant.

i hope you arent talking about me since i use top quality materials as well.

Rob x-7

not at all, hope it didnt sound like that

tailor them for the canadian and japanese people and aussies....they can all use them on s5 cars



and i can too since my car is from up north







but i dont want them ... just letting you know about other markets

that would require left hand and right hand models

id love a guage pod like that but in my opinion thats too much carbon fiber in a way to obvious place. how about a cheaper paintable fiber glass version???

you can paint carbon fiber just as well as fiberglass, the carbon fiber piece will (hopefully) be lighter.





i'm with rob here, 75 for it is ridiculous either the guy is not making money (stupid) or they are not comparable to what was photographed in the beginning of the thread.



high grade epoxy resin and CF fabric alone will consume alot of $75, then add the cost of making the mold and materials consumed in the process. Not even including time it's already not worth it.

im with you on this one.



I dont think I would make CF ones anyhow, I can make them

from a better material and have the same texture as what the pillar trim

is made from now if I want and it would not be nearly as time consuming

as fiberglass ones, they would be flexable so they wouldnt crack if someone

was a bit rough putting them on, and they could still be painted if someone

wanted to.



I had thought about making them in black, but for the method I was thinking of

making them in I can easily change colors.



Problem is I would still want to make about 20-30 of them to make it all worth

my time.



By the way- besides the wet/dry CF, most of the CF stuff people are selling

is one layer of CF then its fiberglass, the CF is for looks, im not into doing

that.
