Custom BRZ Parts for members

Custom BRZ parts


So I recently made a thread to test the waters
Would you buy aftermarket Carbon Fiber parts

We (My mechanic and I) can make anything you like from body panels to suicide doors. If you ever wanted something from another car in the BRZ we can make that happen. Post images, examples and explain in detail (how you want it) along with your use/goals. Later I'll probably buy other parts (TRD,STI, etc parts) in an attempt to make them cheaper, change up the design, or different materials

Act I: Ideas and Design
Photoshop parts or if you want something from another car we can work that into the BRZ
Act II: Development and Cost
Act III: Pricing Estimates
Act IV: Delivery and Confirmation


Right now I need people to throw around ideas and designs. I can list the practical ones down and figure out which ones will be priorities.

PS:I currently don't have my desktop (my friend is borrowing it) so I can't photoshop until then.

Later I'll probably buy other parts (TRD,STI, etc parts) to see if I can remake them cheaper or with different materials

Oh please no! It all begins now.



Btw, how do you expect to support after sale service and warranty issues?

I can figure all that later to see what we can offer it's not like I will be selling anything anytime soon. I'm also not saying rice out your ride just that you can use your imagination to make your ride unique.

well the door can be made in the first batch, but the gullwing will have to wait for later if you're serous about that.

it's more like profit for members lol we're opening a custom shop and what better way to get designs for aftermarket parts then directly from the customer. we could use lambo kits and fit them for BRZ or design our own. either way I have to get back to you on that

we can use any material you like but keep in mind that better material would cost more to develop

So what is your experience and training with composites? Your mechanics? Just going to bake the parts in grandma's oven at 425F? Why buy from you with questionable design and quality and durability? (not saying this to rip on you but because you seem new to this).
