Default For all Carbon Fiber Fiends

Well ive been searching for a company to make carbon fiber parts for my friends NSX for a while and i finally found one that is one of the best in the nation, and they're local (At least for me ). This company does carbon fiber for chrysler and GM. I just thought i would pass this info on, they people use a vacuum infusion method of carbon fiber laying that make perfect parts, check em out if you need something, i got some dope engine bay parts.

What kind of engine bay parts? What were the prices like? I guess that means they custom make things? How long did it take? Got any pics?

haha, you got alot of questions. Ill try to get some pics. A trunk lid took about 3 weeks, but it was a pretty flat basic piece, cost for something like that one-off is around $800-900. If you can get people together to buy you can drop the cost drastically because the same mold can be used for everyones parts. I would ave if you get 10 people together on a part, you can save heavily on the cost of $400-500 molds.

And they can do any part, even if you wanted a carbon fiber intake, they could do it. call em up for more info, but the prices put above are not high estimates, real CF work is coslty, its best to get a group buy together, thats what im gonna do with this Mazda 3 coming in when i get parts for that

I would be interested in some nice interior pieces. Everytime I try and get something done the company flakes and I never hear from them again....so I hope these guys are for real.

I own a carbon fiber manufacturing facility myself and I know 3gservices. They make some very very nice stuff. Since I do it for a living i know what is good and what is not. Props to Doug!

Here is another website that you can send an Auto CAD file to and they will take the file and make the part out of Carbon Fiber. If anyone needs help or needs something drawn on Auto CAD let me know, I am very profficient at it. (Ill even draw it in 3D) I am a mechanical technician for Goodrich Aerospace and I use Auto CAD everyday. You can e-mail me at: david.flinta@goodrich.com
