Thread: Interest in carbon fiber parts?

  1. 05-01-2012 09:33 AM #1
    A good friend of mine owns a carbon fiber (Real carbon fiber) business (G3 Composites LLC). He & I have been friends for over 10 years (In real life).

    We're both enthusiasts as well, of course. All supplies are sourced from the USA & all work is done in the USA (He is based in FL)

    I am posting to gauge interest on what folks may want.

    I'd be happy to become a vendor if there was enough interest.

    I just sent him several pieces from my Corvette that I should have soon. Can't wait to get them back.

    Here is a link to some of the work he has done:

    Thanks,
    Tom

    As you can see from the photos, he certainly does good work. For the hood, I would need at least 5 committed buyers unless you wanted to front the money for development with the opportunity to get that money back.

    Added some (real) carbon fiber to my personal car courtesy of my friend. Carbon fiber center console, gauge bezel pods, rear hatch handle, climate control knobs, passenger ac vent bezel, shifter trim, door lock bezels & door sills.

    Feel free to reach out to me if you need some carbon work.

    Now for the pictures!

    Nice, looks like really good quality stuff. What kind of ballpark figure to make a set of the interior trim pieces on a MKIV VW? Door pull, vent and light switch bezels, ash tray part, door lock trim, etc. I think quite a few guys in the MKIV forums would love to replace their scratched up soft touch plastic pieces.

    I'd be interested in a rear hatch for a Mk6 Golf for my R. There's definitely some weight savings to be had there. Hood would be nice too, but Seibon already does one so not sure if it'd be competitive. Definitely would be willing to get one set up for heat extraction just so long as it's not ugly like the Seibon ones.
