Functional Carbon Front Splitter Interest Thread

corner3garage · 12-03-2010, 12:41 PM

Hi everyone,

We are contemplating the idea of making a splitter and a diffuser for the 370z.

The splitter will be fully functional (to create downforce) and we will try to make it look as good as possible.

It will be made of carbon fiber and a foam core. It has proved to be a strong and lightweight way of making carbon parts. We have stood on the diffusers and they have barely any flex. This method has already proved to be strong from the diffusers that our source makes for the FXMD team.

We can have custom sizes made.

Feedback before we start making them:

1. Would there be any interested in buying these?

2. How much would you be willing to pay for this?

3. Should fiberglass options be made to cut cost?

Thanks,
Mike

I know this source and if he is designing it, I can say with all confidence that this will be a FULLY functional piece. Not a fake functional piece that only looks the part. I hope to see this come to fruition, although I can't say I will personally buy one since my Z doesn't see track time anymore.

i would have to see how it looks (front splitter). i motor my Z only on the streets so it's more of a cosmetics enhancement than function.

personally i like how the Z looks up front in stock form + CF fangs.

In for Pics, hard to make a choice on something with no visual.

trust me there will be plenty of interest. But we need a semi visual to give you estimate in what we are looking to pay for it.

This could be a winner if it is subtle and you build a rear diffuser (functional) that ties in with the front diffusers down force.

M.Bonanni · 12-03-2010, 07:39 PM

You guys are missing the point. Function over form. It should not be subtle and it will likely not fall into most people's "looks" category.

Function...

Form...

any chance to make one that can be taken on and off easily?

I cant do any sorta lip/diffuser with my drive way but would otherwise love one.

wolf370z · 12-03-2010, 11:55 PM

I am certainly interested in this kind of product.

As always, the devil is in the details but I'm interested. A fiberglass piece would be my choice.

I'm interested as long as its functional, but what would be the price?
