those have been available since before this thread was made, if you look somewhere toward the first billion posts in this thread I recall it talks about an asian company that sells them for a lot cheaper than the 2dr version if I recall correctly. Its worth it to search homes, GL

We are all reffering to the original post there "homes", and all of the other overpriced products in our small community. You have been around long enough to know that. :rolleyes:

Back to life! :lol:
Well, After all these years (6+ and counting IIRC :p) , I'm onto my [B]3rd[/B] GC body car, and still waiting patiently for a kit! :eek: this time I went for a 2-dr, I don't think I'll live long enough to see a decent 4-dr kit made that's less than a new car, nor will I continue to hold my breath. :(
zakats 03-02-2007 12:40 AM

Keshav on post #1003 posted 2 links selling WB kits in the UK, im sure you can have one shipped or find someone else selling them if you want to pay ;)

also i recall someone talking about a company (somewhere in asia lol) that made/sold 22b kits for 4door cars... Id say its worth looking into- just gotta flip about a dozen pages or so back in this thread the guy was talking about it....

[QUOTE=Jonnyfilmboy;13613606]Wow, who on earth is going to be able to afford the carbon fiber body kit? There's such a shortage of CF now that this kit will cost upwards of $5,000 just to purchase it, let along install it, paint it, get wider rims, replace your wheel bearings every 3000 miles, etc.

The APR widebody kit is like $3000 or something and it's FRP. If someone could afford this kit in carbon fiber, they would just go buy a new gray market S204 and have it imported! New car, same exclusivity, blah blah blah, I'm done.[/QUOTE]

my friend is actually in the market for a 22b widebody kit for a 4dr gcf and specifically wants it in carbon... to Aeroism - you have one buyer for the cf kit right there :banana:

no offense to him but I think I can see why


edit: the website is still up and it looks about the same as it did 4 years ago
stever 12-19-2007 04:20 PM

The kit will be available shortly. I've had the molds done for a while now, and I'm farming out the production to a company that does aerospace quality composite work. I'll be answering the pile of e-mails regarding availability as soon as I have some firm dates from them. Once that happens, I'll probably renew my vendor status and start a new thread so this one can die.

Anyway, for those who have hung on waiting ... thanks.

For those who think they know why I haven't made these things and why Aerosim has gone away ... believe me, you probably haven't got a clue. I walked away from all of the bulls**t and didn't post my story. Just because I didn't rebut all of the rumors and lies, doesn't mean they're true.

If you want to know the whole deal, just ask. [COLOR="Blue"][email protected][/COLOR]

Thanks,
Steve

Haaa haaa that's so funny.

I was going to make these things 6 years ago, but I thought that Subaru might come out with a car that was better looking. Nothing to worry about from the '08s, so I might as well go ahead and make them. :D

have you seen wide body kits for wagons? they look quite cool
psyber_0ptix 01-02-2008 03:05 PM

darn, a shame i sold my car already.

...maybe for my g/f's project car
stever 01-03-2008 02:16 AM

I picked up some test pieces on Saturday and they look really good. As soon as I pick up the bumpers, I'll post some pics of the kit on my car. I'll probably have to start a new thread in the vendor's section and renew my vendor status once the kits are ready.

This kit will work on a wagon as long as you don't mind losing the rear doors. :D

I know a lot of people who've sold their cars already ... lucky you have a girlfriend with a project car. A lot better than having a project girlfriend.
stever 01-08-2008 03:46 AM

Just a couple of teaser pics of the test parts
 
More pics of the whole kit in a few days.

[QUOTE=chulooz;20649436]that looks really nice, is this kit going to incorporate the factory side skirts? what is this made out of again?....and one more time, nice work and thank you[/QUOTE]

Thanks. I made some side skirts to go along with it. They're actually sitting on the top of my car in the pics. I wanted to wait until I had a production-ready kit on my car before I did the final fitting and made the molds for them. Anyway, they're included in the kit, but it'll probably be a few weeks before those are ready.

It's either fiberglass or carbon with epoxy resin, vacuum-bagged and post cured in an oven. The parts are really light and strong. The front fenders are somewhere between 2.5 and 3lbs. each and the rears are between 4 and 5lbs. each.

I'm going to pick up the bumpers and the rest of the parts tomorrow and will have pics by the weekend.

Thanks again for all the encouragement ... it'll be 7 years in a few months. Yikes.

Oh yeah ... and everybody should buy GC8's and my wide body kits.

[QUOTE=4wdrift]OK stever. You better not be just teasing this time or we are going to collectively lop off a finger.[/QUOTE]

Hell no. Can't afford to lose fingers. What would I eat with? Just picked up the remaining pieces of the first kit. I'll have it fitted to my car and pics by the weekend.

[QUOTE=dead-eye]Are the CF pieces going to actually replace the rear quarterpanels or will they be applied over the original fenders?[/QUOTE]

They should go over the original rear fenders although you could cut out all but a strip of the original fenders and bond the new ones to that. The thing is that the original fenders are part of the structure of the car and should be retained unless you put a roll cage in the car, and even then the added stiffness would be beneficial unless you're trying to reduce the weight.

Anyway, more pics soon and it looks like a carbon set in a week.

Hey Justin,

Have you had this thread bookmarked for 7 years? You know I have a kit with your name on it. Did Trey buy another GC yet? I told you guys when I met you at the Prodrive meet that I'd get these things done. That wasn't just an idle threat.

The Lotus is a blast. It's supposed to get a K20 one of these days, but I'm going to have to sell a lot of fenders before that happens. Maybe I'll get a trailer for it and tow a set of fenders up to you when the weather gets warmer and we can do some laps at Miller.

Shoot me an e-mail and we'll get the special Cobb set going ... [EMAIL="[email protected]"][email protected][/EMAIL]

whats the story on the hood, trunk and rear wing?

also want to know about coating the cf to prevent fading in the sun... i dont know much about but thought you may have a clue(i never planned on painting the parts)
Blamecanada999 01-10-2008 06:34 AM

Try to get some of that super-secret coating that GM's using on the Corvette ZR1's carbon components. It'll only run you $60,000/gallon.:lol:
