Default CF Roof Interest

Well we just paid to become the newest sponsor of the370z.com and we cant wait to get our title as sponsors! So I thought Id go ahead and get a head start on a head count on who would like carbon fiber roofs.

Just a quick intro. The name of the company is Spawn Aerodynamics (Spawn for short) (website coming soon) and we are a small company based out of Chicago. We already have a member that’s local that offered to come by our shop to check us out and even talk about creating some molds to start products asap!

Our carbon fiber is some of the best carbon fiber materials available. And we don’t use cheap polyester resins. We use the best resins we can find which is a clear super strong epoxy system that we purchase locally. All of our products (even fiberglass products) are either vacuum bagged or vacuum infused and bagged. That offers the best quality available since it gives you a perfect resin to material ratio, which results in strong, light, thin, long lasting parts. We also clear coat every product in UV resistant Dupont automotive clear. Our cost is about 250 - 300 a gallon so its good clear.

Long story short we put our time into making flawless products, we guarantee all of our products for quality and satisfaction. And we try our hardest to offer great customer service.

Also basically... If you can dream it we can build it. We take pride in our fabrications.

If I can get at least 3 - 5 people interested then I will have a local member come by so we can create the mold. Sorry for typing so much!

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Well as you all know we have been working hard to make the best carbon fiber roof overlay available and here we go the prototype!

Its made of 1 layer of 2x2 carbon fiber 5.7 oz and 1 layer of 1.5 oz matting. It weighs less than a few lbs and believe it or not sits flush! Check it out for yourself! Sorry for no finished pictures. I just pulled it from the mold a few min ago (10 30 PM) And thought Id show you guys!

This is how it fits snug underneath the side A pillars (the pillars that stretch from the fenders to the quarter glass, and yes they do come off) Since they fit underneath it makes it look like its not an overlay.




This is showing how flush it is with the sides. It actually site a tad lower so it looks even better!



This is the over all untrimmed look.



Also keep in mind it looks that way only because its not wetsanded and clear coated yet.

The MSRP Is $625.00 but we are letting the first few go for only $500.

We are only taking one or two orders at the time at most so we dont get backed up with work. No over ordering, no overdue jobs, no falling behind, no angry customers
