When do you expect to start production?
well, i should have the last few payments tomorrow so i will probably more than likely start then
These are sweet! Any interest on making some for us fox guys?
Im interested, GB still open? PM me.
pm replied
pay up people so the rest of us can get our cowl!
Sorry to hijak, but... If anyone is interested in selling me their stock cowl after installing the carbon piece, give me a PM with price please!
I am in for the second group buy. Need to see pictures first.
when will this gb be finalized?
If this GB is still going in a couple weeks, I'll jump in with payment ready. Gotta pay a damn speeding ticket or I'd throw down cash right now!
Also, what's the word on the clear coat on this cowl. Is it going to be shot with auto clear so it won't crack and flake in the sun like so many carbon fiber hoods and wings I've seen?

This would be good.
+2. I have a friend with a CF hood that has a really bad yellowed spot in the center of the hood. I hope these cowls will hold up. My car is always garage kept but spends a day in the sun here and there.
it all depends on the epoxy used, clearcoat and expoxying are two different animals. But yes it is going to be heavily expoxied with UV resistant coating.
Chris is right... materials make ALL the difference in wether or not the part discolors with time. You need to ask the seller if he is using UV resistant clear gel coat.
I know he is laying up his parts with polyester resin so he has to be using polyester gel coat. There is clear gel coat and there is the good stuff that is UV stable. Obviously the good stuff costs more $ and is usually reflected in the price. Tell this guy you want to see the gel coat tech specs and a picture of the can or drum it came in. The maker of the parts WAS HONEST with me when i asked him what materials he used for the lay up but I did not ask him about what resins and gel coat he uses. Also some lay up polyester resins will brown with age or right away. IMHO good cf polyester parts are laid up with crystal clear polyester resin. Many of the composites companies i consult with say it doesn't matter either way about the lay up resin.
If it ain't uv resistant gel coat it will yellow with time. Usually it is sold as "marine clear gel coat" if it is uv resistant.
I would say he is not using epoxy resin ( price is too low).
