Carbon Fiber Rear Fascia - Page 2

AnonNomis · 04-14-2007, 07:16 AM

I would be interested, especially if you could make matching splash guards too.

I don't think I would be interested in just a carbon fiber replica of our current rear fascia, but if it were.....I don't know......different somehow.

Still deciding, but it will most likely go into production in the next couple of weeks.

YellowSky · 05-02-2007, 06:44 PM

are you goin with a factory copy or adding any fins or anything to it??

is it gonna be a snap in replacement or modifying?

The problem right now is that the factory piece is made to flex. With the carbon fiber it will be a lot stiffer and more prone to break.

AleGT · 05-06-2007, 01:14 PM

My only worry is about scratching when running on asphalt debris... that part is practically an extractor and would take many of them... and it would be a pity cause it's so nice looking...

GhostRL · 05-10-2007, 11:57 PM

+1 if it was made with diffuser fins

RPIpower · 05-12-2007, 06:10 PM

I havent forgotten about you guys. The problem we ran into with this is the hinges are not as forgiving and flexible as the stock plastic piece. It makes the rear fascia extremely delicate to bumps, scrapes, etc. Will keep you posted.

YellowSky · 05-14-2007, 06:27 PM

thanks eloy!!! cant wait!!!

Midnight Sky · 05-15-2007, 12:14 AM

So if the carbon fiber doesn't work out - with the stiffness issues and all; would you consider doing an upgraded (diffuser fins) plastic fascia?

Yep, thats what I am trying to work out right now. The problem is that tooling is stupid expensive.

Helios · 05-28-2007, 07:16 PM

i hope the carbon fiber reare fascia works out 'cause i still want one!

HotRedRoadster · 05-29-2007, 07:09 PM

I remember seeing RKsport sky with carbon fiber rear fascia at sema....why not just buy one from them?

It might have been a custom piece but as far as I know, they dont make them for sale.

Ag94Whoop · 05-29-2007, 07:50 PM

RK has them now, both for single exit and dual exit....
they are on their site now
item numbers: 32011005 and 32011004, $299 and $399 respectively.

They said that you have to remove the whole bumper assembly because the rear "filler" is too stiff to install otherwise

From the picture, it looks like they remove the reverse lights. Atleast I dont see the reverse lights on there.

YellowSky · 05-29-2007, 09:55 PM
