SHARK WINGS FOR ALL!!!

Yup, shark wings FOR SURE, only thing I'm contemplating is center post, or no center post?

Either way it will be made for both gens as a bolt on. CF and FG. I need to start a post on just that.

Here is what I would guess as far as weight savings

Hood= 40 lbs loss
Fenders= 0 lbs loss
bumpers= 0-5 lbs loss?
Side Skirts= 0 lbs loss.
Hatch= 50-60 lbs loss.
Shark Wing= 0 lbs loss.

So figure about 100ish, but weight savings are not important nearly as much as strength, and I'm sure I could make a hood that weighs 7 lbs, but it'd be as thin as paper and fragile as glass.

Its all about style to be honest, Imagine a 90% Carbon Fiber hyundai turbo, you think that might turn a few heads and get in a publication? I do.

The most important thing here, is that you guys make it happen. We've had a really hard time in the past, mainly, again MAINLY, because nobody trusts the new companies. Anyone willing to help is too new to trust, and we chase em all away. Secondly the investment on the part of the company needs to be a smart one, and frankly, no investment in OUR market is a smart one, really.

But for me, I have the trust, I have the company, and I know whether its right away, or after some time, you guys will buy my stuff, and I can count on that. Its slow to start, but imagine a time when all you had to do is ask for a part, and I slam it out in what ever material you want, quick status! That time is now, so all I need is the backing from the community, and it seems as though I'm doing OK in that department.

I wish I could test fit a RD1 hood on my elantra. It looks so close.

If it fit I would buy one for sure

where do you live? You come over my house and test fit my stock hood if you want, but I doubt it will fit.

Pittsburgh. I would really like to swap on a RD1 carbon fiber hood and RD1 Projector headlights and paint the housing black.

But I am kinda tight on $ with the turbo about to go in...

Got a few questions for ya man.

I often see body kits smashed and cracked on a bunch of cars. What are the chances of that happening to your CF bumpers? I do not want it to look like shizzle after a few months.

I do drive carefully, but no one is safe from sudden potholes or rocks and such on the road. What will happen if a rock will hit the bumper?

Those CF stuff will have a clear coat on top just like the OEM paint right? Will the clear coat chip off if something hits it?

How easy is it to clean CF parts?

Also let me know more about CF hatch. Will it come with a new glass or what? Will it be extra? Can I put my stock glass in?

If everything goes well, I might be one of those crazy people with every piece you have man. And you better cut off a good deal for buying one big chunck and being a sponsored car!!!!

Thanks
