    Nope - it's because one day I would like to move away from the veilside wing.

    Plan was to get a 2+2 kaminari kit and cut it down for a 2+0, but the member who was going to purchase the kit decided to get a 2+0 from COS shipped in a box for $600 and left me with nothing to make molds of.

    So there are no plans to do a rear bar or side skirts at this point.

    I agree that it is an awesome looking wing but unfortunately It will be 3 part mold that will take many hours to manufacture. Just doing the labor number in my head they would be at least $500. There would need to be a decent EOI (10+) of people who are willing to buy at that price before I would consider it.

    I am at a stage of business where there are plenty of things I would love to make but there is no point putting the time and money into a mold if there is only a small market.

    It is this reason that the roof wings have not been completed yet. Looking at the EOI, Im likey to only sell 5 yet I have easily put $200 into the design already. How ever I am a man of my word and I will complete the mold as I said I would.

    Plus there is no way that pex will let me attack his wing. I would need it for a few weeks.:eek:

    However please dont stop your suggestions. There are many things I have not thought of and appreciate your input.

    I have just finished a mold for carbon fiber timing belt covers for the MX5. This is my first venture into CF and if the item is successful I may consider making some for the zed. (provided there is a market for them):p
    I also have interested parties in CF ferring kits for bikes

    I would like to make some CF targas for the racers among us. There are a good handfull of sprinters and draggers with us who would pay for them. But I will start an EOI when the time comes;.

    What if we did get that number? 5 people interested without even an EOI!

    Just call Overhaulin'. They'll "steal" the car for you :)

    I can't think of any suggestion better than that wing :eek: why not market it overseas as well? bet my left nut it'd sell there as well.

    YES YES ME WANT PLEEEEASE

    and CF fan shroud as well. i know they're already made elsewhere but they're prob'ly way too expensive.

    Those ones I posted are real. As far as I know, nobody makes replicas. That's the problem! :mad:

    New (insomuch as I haven't heard anyone propose it as of yet) idea, ztoy.
    Manufature a clone of the Veilside EC1 spoiler!!!
    These aren't a readily available piece and I'm sure a lot of people would be in for one if it were to go to production :p :D :)

    What we should do is get a bunch of people (however many want to get a copy made) to put in to buy a genuine EC1 spoiler from somewhere :p

    (Or we could get someone to try their hand at making one from nothing... just a thought)

    +1.....very nice. Haven't seen one before but that is probably the nicest spoiler I have seen for these cars.

    Had a quick look on the veilside America and Japan websites and they only have the ugly-as-sin c2 bodykit and sliiightly less ugly c1 kits available.

    So everyone keep a lookout for any second hand ones that pop up!! I'm sure we can get enough interest to buy it as a group that it'll be cheap even if it has to come from Vladivostok...
