Hey everyone,

So a while back I talked about how I was developing carbon stuff with a local company and that it was put on hold for a while because they were developing BMW 1 series stuff. Just wanted to give everyone a reason to wait for them to do the 370z..

They just recently released a full replacement trunk for the 1 series and are about to release a hood. Check out the quality and just how damn good this looks.

I talked to them about doing a full spoiler in carbon that would be one piece, but would look like the stock sports package spoiler with the mine's add-on. It would lip up sort of like their trunk does, except it would be a separate piece.







What do you guys think?

We'll be making a lot more than just a spoiler They will become vendors once we start working on the 370z.
EDIT: I dug up a little more on the other stuff they did for the 1 series so far and found some pictures for you guys

Seems like they had some issues shipping stuff on time in the past, but are have now learned their lesson and will not advertise anything they don't have in stock and ready to go. I guess these things happen to young companies.

dang RCZ, it def does look beautiful. I was about to jump on-board with the Mines cf group buy, but if your suggesting a whole one piece spoiler then idk I might have to wait. What about the diffuser/any interior pieces in CF?

...oh and was the CF stuff for the BMW reasonably priced, trying to get an idea on how things will be priced for the 370Z. The diffuser is what im really interested in, and as long as it actually fits and is not like that EVO-R garbage(poor fitment), then im all in

I'll get them to come down as much as possible. As far as fitment, they are making parts for BMW's and if I'm not mistaken, the new factory they are using is in Germany. That makes things more expensive, but the quality is up there with the best.

When I talked to them originally, they said they would sell parts for reasonable prices and I will hold them to it.

I'm gonna start getting on their case about it and see how soon we can get some prototypes.

One thing I'd like to be clear about is that I am not affiliated with this company in any way. They are local to me and I can help them develop something for the 370z community. I will keep you guys updated, but I cannot guarantee anything!

lol, You have no idea, I really appreciate the quality check, something "they" didnt seem to do. I have a sick idea that you should suggest to the ICarbon guys, "Carbon Fiber Steering wheel"

Hmm, no that wouldn't be viable. A while back, I made a little focus group with some members of the board and we discussed a lot of possibilities for aesthetically pleasing/ functional aero bits. Needless to say they will draw a lot from there...

^ wonder how much they could charge for a partial CF steering wheel, so there's a price comparison to be made against JDMrapage wheels...

looks like quality stuff there, i'd love to see some nice interior trim in CF

after all the functional aero bits of course, y'all can have your fun first.

They sent me prototype pics of their hood in dry carbon and I flipped... Can't show you guys though. They will release it soon.
