Custom Carbon Fiber for the 8?

Hello gentlemen. I wanted to float over here to the 8club to let people know that I am trying to get interested 8 owners that want carbon fiber interior and exterior and even custom work done. I am a 3rd Gen RX-7 owner and member of the 7club for a while. I have been doing custom carbon fiber for FD interior and exterior parts for a while now. I am really wanting to do some stuff for the 8. I can do door trim, interior panels, accents, you name it. some of the parts I have done for the 7 are below. If you would like more info on what I can do for you just send me a PM. Thanx

Thanx Brian, your a great guy. Yeah as you can see I have exclusively been doing 3rd Gen RX-7 for a while now. I am extremely interested in bringing my skill to the 8 community. I am an evergrowing venture so I will do any vehicle and I also do custom projects. I usually need a pic of whatever it is that needs to be done in order to determine price. I try to come in as low as possible as I can on price. I do use the best materials to accomplish my work, I use a scientific vacuum bagging method to achieve the best part possible. I use the best in Dupont products for every stage of the process. So hope this gives you guys a better idea on what I am about. So if your serious and have some ideas, hit me up. There are so many possibilites, its incredible. pm me if you need further info or have some things in mind for me. Thanx - Jason

I'd like a lower front lip spoiler like the 3rd gen has, and if you can copy the AutoExe side skirts that would real sweet.

A front lip like the FD (which one? It's a bit different on later models)? Or a front lip like Varis or AutoExe?

Varis
http://www.varis.co.jp/japanese/extr...a/rx8/rx8.html

AutoExe
http://www.autoexe.co.jp/car/RX-8(SE)/se02.html

Actually... I might like this AutoExe lip kit (the original kit as well)...

Hey Jason,
did you do the work on that lime green custom FDs interior. That car was just featured in Modified I think within the past 4 months. If so nice work, I'm interested in interior parts. I alread have a few and wouldn't mind adding some more.

yay...maybe you'll stick around longer than some of the other guys that claim they'll do custom work...i need someone to do the lower front doors with holes to mount the 2 x 165mm (6.5") speakers and also the sail panels to replace the stock ones with more cabin angle on the tweeter mounts to hold the TN52 tweeters...what do say...??

judging by the looks of your parts...i assume your using prepreg?

guys looks like a front lip is sought after, I can make a mold and make one off parts in 5 different colors of carbon fiber. I would need a plug, or one to copy. the Varis one is nice. I could look into that, anyone have one that I could copy and maybe get a free one for letting me borrow it for a while? Devious12, no that was not me unfortunately, was the carbon fiber a different color than black and silver? I will have to track that mag down, I have not seen that. I am doing a 3rd Gen full interior, I mean full door panels with yellow kevlar accents, that one will definately be in some mags, I am customizing a carputer into that one. So the fact is I can cover any existing part there is, if you want me to make a new one off part, I have to make a mold. I usually don't consider molds unless at least ten people are ready to throw a deposit. So any body have a loaner, you'll get a free one for letting me use it? keep the ideas coming guys, I am sure we can get something going.

Yes,I like custom stuff. I do not use prepreg. Thanx for the compliment. I must be doing good . It is too hard to find and needs a high temperature curing process. I use a special vacuum bagging system and a lot of technique and love. Its a craft for sure. Send me pics and a detailed description of what you would like done and I will see what we can do for you. my e-mail is CarbonFiberInnovation@msn.com That's what I am here for, I will try and do as much as I can. Thanx
