Would also consider sunroof delete. Potential for a lot of weight savings maybe 40lbs.

I don't think the name should matter. Their his products and he's cool enough to help us out.

Anyways i'll wait to get more opinions and ideas until friday then i will contact him to hear his thoughts. Is there anything any of yall would like me to ask him? from what i have gathered is yall would like to know more less weight difference on some items, price ranges, and build time.....

17 guys in on the splitter, I think its time to pull the trigger on it and get some cost estimates, a turn around time, then collect some money.

I will wait until friday to call. Id hate to bug him every day. Also from the looks of it we almost got a minimum of 10 for a trunk lid and hood. I forgot to ask, if we do get a powerdome hood thats massive like the v2s are yall wanting vents or no?

There is already an aftermarket for bucket seats. Carbon fiber and the whole nine. While they maynot be V specific, they already exist. So...I don't think and one is going to make the effort to have these made again. No one wants to re-inventing the wheel.

Seems like the splitter is a clear winner here...lets make something happen. By far the easiest one to produce as well. Has to be able to mount up to those little holes on the bottom where the ugly rubber thing is for an easy instal. Sadly I think he may need a front bumper to see what he can do

Not mine, but there was overwhelming interest a while back on this.

Do like it but unless its carbon fiber anyone without a raven would have to repaint it to match...otherwise it would look fugly. What car was that for originally?

+1 on the sunroof delete. I've been looking for a scrap sunroof on ebay to use as a template to mold one (using fiberglass) myself.

+1 on the splitter. i'm ready to put my money down.

I'd like a heat extractor hood like the Spectre Werks ones but I don't think there's much of a market.

I actually think CF would looK good on any of the stock V colors. Silver and thunder gray being the neatest.

thank you very much sir on those photos! It's actually what I had in mind seeing it actually doesn't drop very much for those that are already lowered a good amount. I sent those 2 pictures to Ben at weapon x and he will begin doing his thing to get us rolling.


As far as price range goes he was unable to give us one at the time but should have something ready on monday or so after he gathers materials and sees exactly what will have to be done. By then we should know deposit amount for each items, turn around time, and exactly what will be produced. Till then it's a waiting game, but hopefully worth while. Thanks again guys for yalls time and opinions on this subject.
