OK..im the guy who does CF work Chad here is talking about...

What exactly are you looking do in the the way of hoods?


I can tell you straight up, its gonna cost you. Usually I will work a deal in which if you supply me with a hood I can KEEP, I will trade for a CF hood in return....BUT you must bring me at least 10 other sales to make my time worth while. If you just want a custom hood for yourself, your looking at time and material to make the mold, then to pop a hood out.... and it wont come at a cheap price if im only making one.

If you want to read a bit more on my methods of fabrication, you can read this post:


https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/s...hlight=MYSY+8U




I will say, my schedule is a bit tight right now in that I have a list of parts that I need to make before I begin on other projects. I would be interested, but realize my time is valuable and I have other priorities. It might be a few months out before I can start on a hood project.


Some random pics:

12ft of standard weave 5.7oz



These are some EK Civic Eyebrows I will be releasing shortly....take note, this piece is DIRECTLY out the mold, no polishing, no touchups, no nothing. Yes, my pieces come out in a high gloss....show me how many companies can sell a product that is directly out the mold and this perfect in finish. Like I said in the linked post, my methods are truely different






If your interested, you can email me... or we can continue to post here, which i dont mind... TR.com actually needs some good content like this instead of the stupid shit I normally see here...

Gus - If he can make an exact replica of the hood I'm looking at, he'll have more than a few customers. I have a side business that is fully licensed and legit, so hooking up a group buy would likely not prove to be a problem. Thanks for the referral and look forward to hearing from your friend.

Damn simul-posting!

Will PM you.

I'll make you a billet aluminum sunroof plug though.
We can use my mom's garage, she can park her car outside

And billet eh? Hrmmmmm. That would be interesting, expensive and heavy...but cool looking. I might have a favor to ask for a nice billet aluminum plate if you have the time and a yearning for lots of free beer.

Holy shit mang, nice work! Too bad most of the people in the CRX community are such cheap bastards as I know you would make a mint off of selling some carbon fiber sunroof plugs. Makes me wish I had a complete sunroofless roof to donate for a complete cf roof lamination project. Why do ya have to be so busy?

I would be intrested in a few parts for 3 diffrent cars. i can produce keeper parts. (hoods, trunks. sunroofs.) i also could come up with well more then 10 other sales for each part. closer to 20-30 other customers. any hands on or sales assentance i can also provide to make this happen.

If your truely interested in a bolt in crx sunroof , contact RPI at rpiracing.com. John there has been a gracious host to our carbon adventures, and is maintaining a list of people who are interested in crx sunroofs. They are high on our project list, but we have yet to make any molds or really think through the production methods we need to use.

John's a great guy and keeps getting sidetracked with other projects, so the CRX sunroof project has been sitting on the back burner for a while. I'll pester him in October when the big Florida CRX meet goes to Orlando.

LOL The funniest thing I've read here. LOL

Adam, it looks like you do a damn good job. Got any ballpark $$$ numbers for Viper pieces? Hood, side sills, facia, RT/10 deck lid.

If you want to respond off-line is ok with me.
