Tech Carbon Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hello there 350z owners My name is Jay and I work with a company called Tech Carbon. We custom make carbon fibre car parts for people usually via group buys. It's my job to look for new car clubs who might be interested in carbon fibre parts so I thought I'd have a look on here and see what you guys fancied? In the past we have worked on Celicas, MR2s, Preludes, Supras, Imprezas and others. Parts include carbon fibre bonnets, bumpers, skirts, spoilers, boots, interior trim and dash and egnine bay covers etc. Ideally looking to get some ideas from you guys as to what parts you would like to see made into group buys? Prices are very very competitive and I can upload some pictures to show the quality of work. Opinions and ideas welcome guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Carbon Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Thanks for the replies and welcomes guys So what kinda things you guys interested in seeing made in to carbon fibre parts? Usually start off with interior trims, bonnets, bumpers and lips etc... If you guys have someone that does your carbon now let me know so I try not to cover the same products as them to steal their business.

P15UL T Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hi and welcome Jay, out of interest how many interested people do you need to create a mould and produce a part ? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 CF door handle covers would be a great start if you can do them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Great attitude Jay! EPRacing supply a lot of carbon bits. I think you'd do well selling a carbon interior kit the same as RSWs but at a reasonable cost!

T2 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Welcome why not put up some pics of work you have done to give us all an idea I would be intrested in a replacment standard bonnet and a few other things, but first lets see some pic's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Carbon Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hi and welcome Jay, out of interest how many interested people do you need to create a mould and produce a part ? Paul Good question! Really it's based on the price/size of the part because we have to make it worthwhile to us finding a original to mould (either by buying one or borrowing one in excahnge for a free carbon fibre replica) and the producing the part. Usually on body panels like bonnets, bumpers, wings and doors is a min of 5 for a group buy. We can always just produce a single part for someone outside of a group buy but that will obviously cost more as we would be taking the mould for just one sale. Interior plastics and trim more like 10 min and that's usually easy enough as everyone has an interior, right? (I love the smilies on this site by the way! ) You guys can take a look at our site http://techcarbon.co.uk/ for some ideas and a few pics but to be honest the site needs updating with all the parts we produced lately - been mad with business lately so need to find a few mins sometime to update that but there is a few pics to give you general idea. We will be pulling off carbon fibre interior trim for the Honda Prelude tomorrow as we just finished with the moulds for them so when they are done will get some pics up for you guys. CF door handle covers would be a great start if you can do them. We can do pretty much anything if we have an original to mould Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 For me some simple trim bits would be nice such as door handle trim, window switches trim (really want this as it scratches soooo easily) For many of the trim pieces there are foreign suppliers but IMO if we could establish a UK supplier it would be much more advantageous.

Tech Carbon Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 All sounds good guys will get a thread for the interior bits going first then the bonnet Can anyone please post up pictures of the window control section and the door handle surround/cover?

Tech Carbon Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 That pillar looks great! Would love to do that one if there's enough interest for it. What are the other two pieces to go with the window controls for the 3 interior parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
