The molds will be rapid prototyped and then hand finished to create a dimensionally accurate, repeatable part to ensure great fitment every time.

No problem man, I was thinking of going with a seibon lip but i might
have to wait until you guys put your up for sale

i think they said no lip for the frs, just the splitter. so get both the seibon lip and a splitter

I will definitely let you know as more developments arise.

Thanks Earl!

Are you guys using powerstream industries as your manufacturer if you don't mind me asking. I am looking to have a splitter made for my DC5 out of the same material. Love the design you have going for the brz/frs.

[plucas]

CFD will start on the splitter tonight. My linux machine has been giving me troubles but I now have it up and going. We will have these ready soon!

[Hancha Group]

Paul's been having some software issues with the CFD analysis, but the results will be posted as soon as we get them. For "scientific" research, we went to his gun range today to shoot a sample piece of Tegris. This is after he hit it with a 9mm hollow point



The top few layers delaminated, but the bullet didn't penetrate. Our splitters will literally be bulletproof.

[OrbitalEllipses]

New development standard: everybody has to shoot their parts, with a gun.

[Hancha Group]

A short film we made of shooting the Tegris piece. I am absolutely in love with this material.

I'm in awe.

What Lawrence has been working on. Just to get an idea of the front bumper we're working on

So plain and muted.

@Hancha Group

I will be ready for a bumper, as mine has taken a beating from being on and off 20x.

I have two parts that would be excellent for you guys to design.

1. Re-design this ghetto ass plate that will leak on all the manual trans models eventually:

2. Can you re-design the removable front grill on the FR-S and create a new snap in design that actually will protect oil coolers/intercooler/condesers from damage?

I would definitely pay for either even as a custom part if done properly.
