spr1ngy Posted June 26, 2009 Author Posted June 26, 2009 B pillar ? Yes well, i thought, being as its taken an age for M350ZB to reply to my PM about getting the stick on carbon vinyls and the ones for inside the zed side badge, i thought i'd make the b pillars myself. And being as where i work we supply miles and miles of carbon, i would make mould and lay up some proper real carbon pillars (2 /3 layers probably) and affix them. Also watch out, coz my nissan burger badge is going to be done soon also...... ohhhhhhh. Quote

spr1ngy Posted June 26, 2009 Author Posted June 26, 2009 Well I do have assistance from one of the best carbon specialists in motorsport. So with a bit of luck they will be ok. Going to make a small lip and then hopefully (with it only being 2 layers) I can flex it just enough to clip around the orignals. The mock up one worked well so here's hoping. If not I'll just trim it back and bond it on the face of them. The badge...... Now that's the hard bit. Revering the mold so the letters NISSAN don't stick out instead of imprinting.... I'm sure my assistant has a clever work around though...... Quote

rich5259 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Can't you get Lola Composites to make some high quality front air dams and hot spoliers for the Zed? I'm sure there will be a market here, especially the Carbon Slut Quote
spr1ngy Posted June 26, 2009 Author Posted June 26, 2009 I'm sure there will be a market here, especially the Carbon Slut Hmmmmmm well now I've got the mold. The process will be easily repeatable. But I'm sure people will want to see how they turn out first! Quote
