What Carbon Fibre bits do you want for your commodore?

[EXCESSV]

Hey all,

Have a mate thats nuts about Carbon Fibre. What started out as a hobby of Carbon Fibre parts in the Import Scene is now being blown into a business, website, etc....all still in progress.

So this is not a for sale thread as such as he will pursue forum sponsorship once he has products to sell and advertise for.

More so this is a thread on opinons on what people want? Tell me what part? model of car? and even a pic please

The VE Front spoiler kit is pretty much near end of development with production coming up very soon. He has currently got a couple samples of the VE Front Spoiler kit sitting at his house and here they are for your viewing pleasure:

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k37/Deano_22/DSC05476.jpg

To adhere to the forum rules, I will create a for sale thread for the sample thats been on a test car hence USED.

So tell me what you want. He wants to generate parts that are gonna sell as it takes months of back and forth development work with alot of $$$$ to get to the point where he can get batches produced hence before he can sponsor on a forum and quote prices, etc he actually needs to get through the long development period.

any questions feel free to post here or pm me

that looks awsome mate, just another idea incase he hasnt thought of it already is the side veiw mirror covers in carbon fibre they would look cool also, ve bob tails would be cool also for the sedan boyz

[EXCESSV]

forgot to mention he is looking into the G8/CalaisV boot lip spoiler and also the rear bumper diffuser.

the rear bumper diffuser is gonna be an interesting one...
few options we are juggling:
1) standard one minus the honeycomb mesh
2) G8 style one without the honeycomb mesh
3) an agressive track orientated one. one with bigger fins they hang lower along with ones to mount on the sides of the VE rear bumper on those indented fins that run from near the exhaust tips to the rear tyre


Looking for ideas that are not just VE...VT-VZ also

[FOON]

Is he interested in doing any Ford bits? :hide:

[ti0350]

I'd love to see a senator style rear spoiler for a VY

[iloveholden]

Hi Dean,

Is he doing interior bits as well or just exterior?

I'd like some carbon fibre on the inside of my ute, maybe the bit around the gear stick and window controls etc.

Cheers.

[6_litre_man]

All the usual ve interior pieces,

Dash strips, steering wheel spoke cover, gear stick surround, centre console shroud,

I would even say doing the bit behind the seats in the ute with the ss badge on it.

Cheers
Matt

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k37/Deano_22/DSC05387.jpg
Next parts will be BA, BF turbo engine cover and FG turbo engine cover




for the guys asking about interior parts....thats the tricky ones. They are usually complext shapes with pieces to lock them into place and attach switches etc. They are difficult to replicate purely out of carbon fibre.


He can have almost any part laminated in genuine carbon fibre. So you get the look but not the weight reduction as it is still the standard part underneath. Thats what he would recommend for interior parts. The benefit of lamination is no mold is required

[sszkid]

The G8 boot lip and diffuser for sure, I would be sure to grab one or the other if they ever went into production.

[exwrx]

:VT-VZ

Front splitter (Monaro as well please)
Bonnet
front and rear bumpers
427 style rear lip spoiler for sedans and coupes
side skirts
dash fascia
exterior and interior door handles
replacement roof panel

Let me know when I can pick them up :jester:

[Millsy]

For small plastic parts I would just cover them in 3M di-noc (ie grilles, mirrors, etc)

However I would be keen on a VY SS front splitter after seeing some pics

Cheers,

Millsy

[daoutlawz]

I would love to see a diffuser, grille and engine cover :)

[bonners]

Certainly the rear GXP diffuser in carbon. I'd prefer the matte look but as I also have a bit of a hankering for Carbon I'd take either. I suspect there is also a big market for that rear lip spoiler in CF. Similar to the Walkinshaw one but I'm hoping not as expensive.

And PS, I'll buy the front sample....... ;-)

:goodjob:

[KAL SPL]

Can you ask if he would be interested in attempting this :)

Sh1t yes!

Split engine covers in carbon fibre and then a carbon fibre DUS otr would be super horn!

[Cmycv8]

Looks like some top notch work :goodjob:

How about some LS1 engine covers for the non VE folk?

[kaneo11]

ls1 coil covers? not a full engine cover, similar to the edelbrock/harrop ones?

[bewsa cv8]

Gto coupe rear window spoiler, and also front splitter for a monaro/ vt front bar

[Thunderbird-1]

[iloveholden]

Yep, just need carbon fibre split engine covers to match it.

[Christiancoach]

This thread is so full of WIN, I need to go change my pants!!

[Evman]

Hey Deano good to see EXCESSV is still getting some upgrades mate :) I'd love to see a few things available -

- VY/VZ rear diffuser with more aggressive fins + a fin in the centre where the tow bar cap goes
- Senator style spoiler as it utilises the same spoiler holes, which keeps it as an easy swap/upgrade + houses centre tail light ($700+ unpainted for genuine from Holden/HSV)
- Cap to go over the centre lower splitter (maybe even both splitters??) on the front bar

I'm not sure how viable the wing mirror domes will be, they're bloody difficult to remove from what I've been told.

Cheers man hope all's going well still :)

+1 on the GTSR bar insert
also the rocker cover or coil pack covers

[Timson]

How about these side vents, would love a set designed similar to these to replace the mesh ones on the GTS.

[DCV1NU]

I'd be keen on the Carbon Fibre front lip spoiler & G8 lip spoiler, but also the calais front bonnet strip in Carbon would awsome aswell.

[SUPERH2377]

What about the g8 front garnish with either honeycomb carbon-fibre , or instead of honeycomb put mesh like jag grills
its lighter and stronger and i think it would look much better

def the rear diffuser and a front spliter\lip spoiler for VY SS... would be sweeet

[Helter Skelter]

A suunroof would be cool

[tyrhantc]

+1 for the CF G8 bootlip spoiler. Also just throwing it out there as it is probably too fiddly but how about some sort of CF Holden dinner plate badge... :hide:

I would buy a front and rear today...

[jai]

For those that are keen on the g8 carbon rear lip - I have a b/new one of these available - http://maverickmancarbon.com/archives/9 - they are 30mm higher than the g8 factory lip and under half the weight! The finish is 2nd to none!

$395 plus post (or delivered to sydney cbd 26th May free)

[Uncle Tone]

Anything that reduces the weight of these flabby big cars!

Doors, bonnet, guards, seat shells, etc. Carbon fibre isn't for looks unless you're a try hard.

Guards that don't look like they've been cut to fit faux side vents would be great! :)

Nice :headbang:

[Tubbie]

I ordered myself one of those maverick man ones yesterday cant wait to see it on the car.

[So Relax]

Plenty of great suggestions here. I have just received my maverick man rear insert and bonnet scoops for my VZ Monaro. One part I would love to see is cf is the front window sill for all models. The plastic fades and looks terrible and cheap. Wouldn't mind cf front grilles as well :)

[jai]

Any progress Deano?

[bonners]

I have one too!
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb125/allpaw/IMG_0072.jpg

Me too. Thanks Jai

[poolkeeper]

For a VZ:

Hardcover (utes)
Doors
Bonnet

[throttlehappy]

None, no carbon fibre for me

Cheers Deano. Hope you're goin well mate :)

[exhsv]

Wouldn't mind the HSV style binnacle gauge pod in Carbon for a VZ

The genuine ones are just waaaaaayy to expensive for what they are

[Maved-GTO]

I have one too!
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb125/allpaw/IMG_0072.jpg

nice ;) :P

[JazzaGTS]

Does anyone know who makes those side vent or where you can get them?.

[JazzaGTS]

Doh, just realised there of the black series, anyone know if you can get they them separatley.

[scorpion]

A W427 styled 3 pice rear spolier for a VE GTS would be magnificent. I have been scouring the internet for months with no success. Would need to be able to use the same mounting holes as the factory wing.

Not interested in a senatoror or calais bootlip. Needs to be 3 piece similar to the W427. I would buy one in a heart beat.

[Samurai Trader]

Vz - side mirrors
- bonnet lip thingy that the clubbies have
- guard flutes
- centre gauge pods
- senator lip spoiler
- senator style roof spoiler

You make em ill buy em - pm me if your keen.

[Le0n86]

Carbon fibre must be the new 'black rims' faze.
None for mine, but a few people have come up with some good suggestions.
Would be keen to see what the VZ guage pods would look like though.

[k1w1noz]

Stubbie holder

Benno

Seriously, +1. That would look great.

[dt_edition]

Replace my Dus OTR for the HTV2300 on my VZ.

[evil_ss]

what is the site that we can purchase the items?
