Hojo go ahead and become a premium member there is plenty of work for you guys here on the site. Or start out as a sponsor... The list of products you guys could make is LONG!

For Example:
1: CF Hood keeps clean lines but with Vents
2: CF Front Fenders stock width
3: CF Front Fenders stock width with Vent
4: CF Front Fenders 1" (+25mm) wider width
5: CF Rear Fenders 2" (+50mm) wider width
6: CF Roof Overlay
7: CF Roof Replacement
8: CF Hatch Stock
9: CF Hatch with a Duck bill spoiler built in like (Welcome to Vorsteiner) These guys own the BMW market!
10: CF Working Rear Diffuser
11: CF Interior Pieces
12: CF C pillars
13: CF B pillars
14: CF Doors
15: CF Front Spoiler/Lip
and the list goes on and on... I know there are proably about 5-10 hood designs that people want and about 4-5 Fender designs...

A good question from us is what is your pricing schedule like? to give you an example our roof overlays retail around $800 now if you made one for under that price say $600~$700 you would get a lot of buyers. If you price it right you will have a long back order list I promise you that!!!

This is car parts, no pillows.

And we still need a company to come up with a A pillar with pods for those of us that have or are planning to go FI.

:iagree: Lots of good parts here, and what about the s-tune style spoiler or something like it that uses the stock sport bolt hole locations.

Since we are talking wishlist I would love to see a dry carbon overlay for the diffuser section of the Nismo rear bumper (the part facing the road with the fins). Maybe with longer fins too:

I know there are plenty of parts that can be made. My only concern is if I would see the volume @ the price we would need to get to make it worth doing. I think many people may be turned off by the higher prices, but maybe not. Everything is up in the air now. I appreciate all the feed back:tup:

Focus on the Fenders first, there is an entire 8 page thread of people who expressed interest and I am positive if you make a GTR style fender in conjunction with MR Works or comparable to the one they produced you will be able to get pre sales of 10 sets which would bring down your cost and make the price more affordale, which would bring more buyers your way...

Another reason to pursue this is because other companies have already made kits for every other part of the 370z, the fenders have been totally ignored on the 370z as far as I know...

G Fo12ce 11-11-2010 08:00 PM

:iagree: 100%

couldn't agree more!


but! make the fenders(if you do) actually lighter than the oem ones lol..i've seen too many companies make carbon fenders for a car(wanted to get one for my eclipse gsx when i had it) and they ended up being the same weight if not more! when i was lookin to get an evo x (bought the Z instead hehehe!) a company came out with really nice quality and fitment carbon fenders..but the same weight..so pleaseeeee make them actually lighter if you go that route lol..and the same for the hood and well, anything else you make lol.. when i had my s2000(car before this) a lot of companies were making carbon fiber hoods, and most of them weighed more than the stock hood! so please consider this, thank you :)
