It certainly would & it is something that can be done.

I got side tracked with this. Put on the back burner to go fast parts. Plus its the holidays and everyone is broke. Soon! Hopefully around 1k per hood/trunk group buy? Alot of people were interestedin a cowl hood.

Can you clarify on the pricing? Once you give us a hard number and show us the design, you'll get a lot more interest.

We spoke about it and right now we have several molds in process so we'd like to talk about these pieces after the new year. We are very interested in making this happen, though. Just don't want to under deliver.

What's the likelihood we could get a carbon fiber chin splitter for the front bumper and extended side skirts?

I'd like to do something that juts out less than the old Spectre Werks unit (which I thought was ugly):



Designed correctly, you shouldn't really realize that the chin splitter is there:

What happened to providing some details so people can figure out whether they're interested in what you're planning to make?

What are we supposed to be committing to? You haven't given any idea what you're willing and able to make, what it would cost, how many people would need to commit in order for you/your friend to create the part(s), how long it would take to happen, etc etc.

Molds of what?

They weren't that expensive. I don't think I even paid 1/2 that for my two pieces.

We'll make what there are buyers for. Please see my above post about looking at the trunk & hood after the new year. We have a few other molds that need to be done right now and we don't want to over promise & under deliver.

That is something we can also explore. Are you looking for a custom splitter or a carbon version of one that is already out there?

A custom chin spoiler. Ours is too short and deeply recessed below the nose of the car. The Spectre Werks splitter never caught on because it was fugly and overpriced. As was everything other than their hoods.

Ok, we'll explore that after the new year as well.

The bottom one is good. Did you construct that model in Vismock?

The top two examples are fracking hideous.
