Need a place to fabricate my diffuser
 
Hey guys I'm curently working in irvine and commute from garden grove. I have gained a bit of attention from the members here on my design for a rear diffuser and the side vent on our cars and I have a very good idea of how I'm going to fabricate the pieces. Problem is, I moved to SoCal not too long ago so I do not have a garage or a space to work on these projects. Some of my close friends in the area are helping me out locate a shop but I wanted to just throw this out here and see if anyone can lead me to a good direction. I'm willing to pay for the space of course.

Here are my threads on the projects I mentioned:

<== art major and took a product design class. I think fabricating shark fins is where the real moneys at. Cost to produce one is around 5-15$ and if you get all the fitment right you can easily sell it for 80+

I would be lying if I'm not looking to make a few bucks but I'm really doing the projects for self satisfaction :) everytime I see those fake side vents and the diffuser that stops at the muffler section it really bothers me.

I majored in industrial design as well!

Only place I know you can fab your own things is Vocademy in Riverside. They might make you get a training class or two but if you're only using basic machinery it shouldn't be too expensive. Once you need to move up to welding & stuff then it gets pricey. Try giving them a call.

I was going to mention that as well. That's where I am working on my BRZ/FRS project. They've got stomp shears for sheet metal work there as well as a wide variety of tools and equipment to make things, do finishing work and the like. They also have 3d printers as well for the side vents (6" x 6" x 6" printing volume). If you have time, swing by there and take a tour of the place. They're open from 11am to 11pm 7 days a week. Call 'em up to schedule a tour or ask any questions: 951-266-6630
