How about some photos of other things the shop makes. Don't need to be automotive, just things that show the finished look. Mark
is ABS or fiberglass a better material for spoilers? is ABS or fiberglass a better material for spoilers? any suggestions? :lol:
ABS does not bond well to metal and is more difficult to find places that can repair it if it becomes damaged.(must be plastic welded) Fiberglass bonds well to most everything is easily repairable even in most "Driveways". I believe in a production level for retail ABS is much cheaper to reproduce your end products? I would happily pay more for fiberglass just because of the repairable and bonding aspect of it.
i agree with your first point Nitrominis. but actually ABS molding cost way more than Fiberglass molding. material-wise they cost around the same. ABS is a slightly newer technology. I guess fiberglass will be it you are right, it is easier to repair a fiberglass when it is damaged. but don't worry i will make sure the quality is good!!!
Just looking at a GP wing last night :cornut: They are nice! It definitly needs to have the thickness to it. Are you going to try and make thin brackets to reach behind the existing rear glass?
It is really difficult to get too excited without any pics, drawings, sketches, renderings, etc. No images at all........ Hell, just show pics of the actual GP wing and point out where your will be different.
He said that the main wing will be fiberglass and the little embossed triangles on the side wings will not be there. He said everything else will look the same. But I guess we will find out.
Hmm, maybe I read incorrectly. I thought it was mentioned that the wing connection points were going to be significantly different from OEM and this wing would be 1st Gen and 2nd Gen compatible.
jimini! i will ensure the thickness is there! be patient for now, the prototype and the rest of 19 copies should be out around May! mini_racer: i know it's going to be R53 compatible for sure, but not so sure about R56. cuz i have a r53 myself. and since this is not a mass production, i will focus on r53 more.
Not to step on any toes but "Group 4" & "JSart" will be unveiling a new GP style wing along with other aero aids at the Dragon the end of April
It's already made from what I hear. Along with other neat aero parts. Want to see the canards. Just hoping they'll all work on a GP.
Ya know this OP has something going here. Do we really need another company to come in here and take a dump on his potential plans? I think not. Take it to a new thread guys. Thanks
that is cool! im hoping to see them. well i dont really mind to see the product from the other company because im not going to compete with anyone in the market. im only gonna make 20, and it's all at my own factory cost so it won't hurt me. plus i really want one for my car as well
Nathan you're right. I apologize, did not mean to hijack this thread. :eek6: I'll start another with pictures in the near future. Mark
