carbon or f-glass fender/bonnet/boot/bumper/dam

Postby TRfan » 17 Aug 2009 22:39

Hi everyone,

I know that there are fibreglass and carbon fibre wide-fender and air dam kits supplied by Lanocha Racing http://www.lanocharacing.com and
bumper kits by Morspeed http://www.morspeedperformance.com

But does anyone know of any other suppliers.

Also... I'm looking for fibreglass and/or carbon fibre bonnet and boot kits. Racing lift-off or street attachments are both okay.

Any leads would be awesome.

Thanks

Marc

Robsport.co.uk have a few bits.

Please don't post the same thing in 2 sections. It makes things confusing.

Hi Marc

I have this question already asked (myself)

But I would just like an original replica ..We are thinking to built the bumper-carrier with aluminum.. so we can reduce the weight of the car .. instance you can find something let us know

Hi Frank.

It seems that these are hard to find as I've been looking everywhere.

As I posted originally, have you looked at the kits available at http://www.lanocharacing.com and http://www.morspeedperformance.com

They are light weight but I know the Lanocha one is not cheap!!!!

You may have to fabricate an aluminum one yourself. May be the least costly option for carrier.

I'll let you know if I find anything.

Here is an example of what a guy did custom by himself.

http://thewedgeshop.21.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=341

Some parts of it I like, and some I like the stock better. It does look like he did a good job with the project.


I have always like the viper body kit myself, but it is not made anymore. I know there is at least one owner on this site.

Hmm. It certainly makes you look twice - and then regret doing so. [:)]

Have to agree there [:D]

Also have to admit that the quality of what he did looks pretty good

I also agree, he's done a very clean job... It looks like an 80's era Trans Am, kinda.

The paint work is impressive.[^]

Not sure where you are located Marc, but I just noticed that there is a viper kit for sale on this site in sale area (UK). If I were in the UK it would not be for sale any more because I would already have it.
