Spawn Aerodynamics - Bullittes CF build thread.

[SpawnAeroJohn]

Turns out we got a bad kind of epoxy resin for the CF parts (which was crazy because the company knew we were making exterior cf parts so we needed high endurance resin) The resin wouldnt be able to take over 120F. So they gave us our money back for it and now we are just waiting from another company who is sending us a gal sample of a resin they use for NHRA cars so they say it should be perfect.

Bullitt will be taking home a pretty much stock 370Z and then we will be sending him a

CF hood
CF roof
CF hatch
CF rear bumper valance
CF b pillars
CF front bumper lisence plate back and we think that is it unless im missing something.

But chances are we will get those last 3 things done in time but we will see.

As of product availablity. All of it is ready to order accept the hood n hatch. There will just be a short wait time for the resins.

ouch, so those pieces you made (roof and front license) are useless? Hope they paid you back for that carbon as well!

so are we going to get a full price list anytime soon? Oh, and what about the lip kits and possible bumpers, any news on those?

Sorry to hear about the resin mixup, that sucks. 120F is nothing, if I had a bumper with resin that melted at 120F it would be dead the first day around here lately

Great thread, guys. Thanks for being so forthcoming with your process. I'm anxiously awaiting some installed pics, and I'll be ordering some bits too.

Well since we know about availability, what about prices? I'm interested in specs as well for the performance oriented pieces (hood and hatch). How much lighter are they than their aluminum counterparts. I'm sure I'll have to add several pounds for primer/paint. Which brings me to my next question, what are the painting procedures for a piece like this? Anything special or can we basically key the epoxy, prime and paint?

Thanks.
