Hi Guys, I'm looking in to making some vented fibreglass front guards, I just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing them. I'm still working on sourcing a set of guards to take molds from, but drop me a line if you'd be interested. Any ideas, please PM me - pics in this thread would be great. I was thinking of something like the VE HSV R8 type, but I'm open to suggestion. Cheers, Pete
I have a set in my shed Can't have them though... All for me! I believe that carmate sells them. See here! About $500. Mine are a little thin though, would prefer thicker FG.
Same as everyone else it would depend on the price. VE style would be good. Those Border ripoffs that Crapmate sells are so/so...I would prefer them without the vents above the arch. Cheers Mark
Estimate Prices A good guide at the moment is $400 (may be closer to $300) I can't give an accurate price till the first set is made These will have 2-3 ply of glass mat(3-4mm) I am also looking at vaccumm Bagging these for added strength (also to keep the weight down) Cheers Pete
Hah, I'm not looking at the vents on the top, only doing vents at the rear of the wheel arch - I want something tough looking, but understated - to each their own.
Something like this Clicky Maybe just a tad bigger with the vent I have wanted to make a set of vented guards for quite some time
Nice similair to the border ones but without the vents along the top of the wheel arch. I like it, would in theory help with brake cooling if setup right as well.
It should Definatly help with cooling the brakes Also i think a similar indicator setup like This would look smart too I already have a similar set on my guards ATM
those ones look good. would maybe look more stock if the vent followed the curve of the wheel arch at the front, instead of being a square cut out?? Sound pretty good to me an i would prob take a set
Hmmm i think that would look good having the vent follow the lines of the wheel arch i.e. bigger at the top smaller at the bottom It would almost look stock Hmmmm nice
it would look good , i pinched the HSV side indicator flute idea some time ago on mine and some people ask if its standard , people that dont konw Z's of course , lol , .
Yes very similar Thanks Felix I am terrible at using photoshop It's very close to what i want maybe just a tad smaller and to follow the contour of the wheel arch
