Gauging Interest for custom made parts for 3g

[blownoffvalve]

I got some request from some people to make a few things. But cost is a factor and not just one member can pay for tooling and manufacturing cost. So to help some of you guys out. PM or Post what you would like to be made that haven't been out yet. Eyelids, carbon door sill, Cooling plate, Carbon fuse covers etc.. Anything that is small and easy to do. I'll edit and list all the recommendations on this first post and in a week or so I'll have a vote to see for the most voted custom modification and submit it to the manufacturer to have it produced. Hope this helps. From previous requests, I'll start off the list here:

1. Carbon Eyelids
2. Clock Bezel
3. Front Grill
4. Gauge Pod for A pillar or Dash
5. Short Shifter
6. Strut Bar
7. Headlight Trim
8. Lip
9. Shift Knob
10.
11.


* Thank you HostileJava for updating the list.

carbon oem bumper

[A20A1]

carbon oem bumper

I think he wanted small parts... An OEM bumper in carbon will cost just as much as a carbon fiber hood, maybe more. If you're going that route might as well make a full carbon front end, 1 piece that includes hood fenders and bumper, just like how track cars have them.

Ohhhh, carbon eyelids would be cool. I would do those. How about the bezel around the clock?

[EricW]

I like the eyelids, but are you going to do the small trim piece on the grill also since the one on the 86-87 is removable from the grill.

How about an A pillar triple guage pod or one to go on the dash in front of the clock.

SHORTSHIFTER

or

strut tower bars

or both

[MessyHonda]

how about some window cranks for the ppl like me that dont have power windows

[halxi]

i think carbon headlight hosings would be better IMO, that way it flows with a carbon hood, and you dont have mismatched corners/grille, with just the eyelid pieces.

personally CF is a picky subject for me

its basically all or nothin for me... but thats just my opinion

(all would be: cf hood, lip, trunk deck, mirrors)

granted, i wouldnt mind a CF hood... but im on a semi tight budget for appearence items

How about some sort of a lip???

[mkymonkey]

eyelids, the outer part of the headlight housing, headlight trim and grille. oh oh oh and how about the cover that black piece that surrounds the headlight.

[accordrollingon18z]

i have done carbon eyelids and clock bezel and ive also done the black trim going up the door beside the window all look great and grey cars and carbon fiber go well

[HostileJava]

You guys were supposed to continue on with the list so it was in a nice readable fasion for him

1. Carbon Eyelids
2. Clock Bezel
3. Front Grill
4. Gauge Pod for A pillar or Dash
5. Short Shifter
6. Strut Bar
7. Headlight Trim
8. Lip
9.

Before you go through this whole process of submitting it to the manufacturer and everything you should get at least a few members to commit to buying them along with giving them pricing(doesn't have to be exact), and getting a deposit for each item. Not that I don't trust the members on this site, but I've seen how things like this have gone bad before.

[b8er]

i am all for a lip, a nice lip made for our cars would be awsome, im saying right now im commitied to buying a lip if they were made, so count me in

[B16KILLA]

I agree if you were to make a very tasteful lip I'd buy it for sure along with struts bars,headlight trim

[3gn86lxi]

Me too for sure with the lip. Something like a Teg lip......nothing fancy. That would be tight.

[ghettogeddy]

in that case front, side and rear lips would be great

This is true A20A1. The cost of carbon is going up. With smaller projects it'll be more affordable for everyone. Thanks for understanding

[88Accord-DX]

Ok, how about a shift nob to go with the short shifter.

Lots of hype threads in the past of stuff like this. Not many pan out with good results. They all end up in the ....

[Lockleaf]

The subject of headlight housings has been brought up so many time since the introduction of the cf hood that it would be guaranteed sale to tons of the guys with cf hoods. The lip would do awesome as well, seeing as our styling options are outdated or reproduced bodykits or screwing around with the teg lip. If you have the money to make like five of each yourself and then just post them up for sale, you'll get your buyers, and fast. The problem with seeking interest is that yes it is there, but today I have $100 dollars that I want to spend on cf, but next week my carb blows up so now i have to back out. If it's available now, then I buy it and borrow my bro's car until I can fix the carb. But at least you sold the cf.

[A18A]

well i havnt read all that yet but this is a bit of a big one, carbon fibre doors would be good, these doors are heavy. but something small from the top of my head is CF mirrors? prolly just some lame idea as mirrors are light anyways

[crazykamper]

i would have to say the cooling plate (some of us like higher speeds. hahahaha). i would also like to see some carbon fibre headlight trim ( the grayish plastic crap... to match with the hood , sorda. lol....)
Short shifter for sure, lips, strut tower bars... basically, anything and everything that u can find for any other car almost on the market, but not for our cars! lol.

[reanimator420]

lips and lips and also cf headlightcovers

[crazykamper]

^ that works too. lol.

[ghettogeddy]

cf radiator support and front grill
