Carbon fiber "beak"

[mdbmd]

Has anyone found a carbon fiber piece to replace the plastic beak?
I have CF everywhere else and this sticks out like a turd in a punch bowl.
I have a guy who wants to make a piece but he wants to take off the entire bumper to do it.
Any thoughts?

Here's a couple that have just been covered in vinyl...

 

[mdbmd]

Yup. Saw them. Thanks!
I love the 3-D effect of real CF.
I've looked at wrapping and hydrographics.
Close...but not there for me.
I've even spoken with Acura. They have no plans to offer this in one of their CF packages.
Keeping my fingers crossed that someone comes up with a mold and starts producing them.

Let us know if you get one. I think they're still in development but AS is a great vendor here.

I've been emailing back and forth with Adnan.
It's a little steep but we are working things out.
I'm sending pictures of my CF roof to him to make sure that they can match the weave.

Any word/ update?

 

[mdbmd]

They are waiting for the "core" to be made then they are going to match the CF and gloss.
Adnan has been great. But I would imagine this is low priority compared to what they normally do.

 

[mdbmd]

Unfortunately no new updates.
A.S. Motorsports should have the core and hopefully I will have pictures soon.

Picture from "Supercars on State Street". The day included a run up to Pocono Raceway, laps on track, and run back to Harrisburg for an afternoon car show.

Nice shot from State Street, oddly I haven't ever been up to that event despite being in the basic area. You in Maryland (wondering from the MD in your username)?

 

[mdbmd]

Nope. From PA. Just my initials.
It was a good time.

 

[docjohn]

ahh good ol pocono...logged alot of miles at that place.....when was the state street event?

 

[mdbmd]

This past Saturday. It was an MS fundraiser.

 

[docjohn]

I'll have to try to make it next year.

 

[EuroBoutique]

We have been in development for this part already.

Can't say much right now but it's one of the many pieces we are working on improving for our test demo car here!

 

[Space Truckin]

Bump, in for updates

 

[EuroBoutique]

Bump, in for updates

Drop us a PM if you want this part

 

[mdbmd]

Still (impatiently) waiting....

 

[vf2ss]

You think it's possible to buy the replacement for part #7 for the GT3? You'd get rid of the beak, acquire real grill mesh, and carbon fiber all at the same time.

 

[mdbmd]

I was hoping for a "plug and play" option.
A.S. Motorsports is working on it, it's just taking much longer than I anticipated...

How hard is it to grind off those grille marks from the bumper? :tongue:

easy-schmeezy....oh but perhaps not so much in real life :tongue:

 

[mdbmd]

CF beak is finished and being shipped to me soon.
I will update everyone once I have it.
