[s-cars] carbon fiber attachments - good message last one sentprematurely

[James Murray (QB/EMC)]

Kranz, I might be interested... Alone the same lines, how about
something more security wise... Like replacing the timing belt cover
with a Carbon Fiber version! 

Also, I wouldn't mind a CF insert for my climate control, and something
to replace my cigarette holder below it so that I could install some
gauges there...

/Jamu.

P.S. You might also want to consider a CF cover with vents for the 1.8T
converts?

hey guys,

i just bumped into an old buddy of mine and It turns out he has a carbon
fiber production facility.
he is using this new technique developed by nasa where the resin is
already throughout the weave....
it is seamless and done on inflatable bags and balloons.
i asked him a bunch of questions about strength durability and fading as
most carbon fiber pieces with too much resin tend to turn a diff color
and change.

anyways long story short i am contemplating having some carbon fiber
pieces made.

i am curious to know how many people would be interested in the
following three pieces.

1) plastic on top of fuel rail, identical replacement in carbon fiber
2) plastic area behind the throttle body that covers relays and other
stuff
3) air box plate that always cracks.

the initial molds are the most costly parts.
i have seen his recent work with ducati gas tanks and am beyond
impressed.

i am trying to figure out a price for the 3 pieces, because i think it
will look amazing and be way more durable that the plastic pieces that i
seem to keep cracking or breaking.

if anyone is interested please let me know, based on what the interest
might be.......i can then figure out way to price the initial
development.

i am curious as well what people would expect to pay for these  pieces o
real carbon fiber.
i am also toying around with other parts...i would love to hear some
suggestions...

he told me he can do fenders no problem as well, however i am assuming
shipping costs will make it fairly costly.

anyways i am exited about this potential project and curious to hear
response

bets regards,


kranz
