Has anyone got a source for rear carbon fiber fender flares?

Called Kerry (ACP) and he only does complete rear fender.

Carbon Creations is out of stock till middle of December.

I want some too. lets build some J.R. I started on some but they need to be changed a bit. no need to flame anybody, these are just models, suggestions are welcome

J.R.

Park,

That is exactly what I am looking for.

They are delaying the new car build by having to wait till December.

Call me.

Looks Good

What are those made of? That's a marketable product.

z06801

Thanks, those are foam, but once molds are made, carbon or fiberglass.
Need to make a few changes for sure

AU N EGL

I think you could have a market for those.

I would get a front set.

J.R. and I race with guy here at miller who drives a 996 cup that owns a business that makes large fiberglass parts. He can make the mold and lay up parts. He has made his own mold for his 996 cup front bumper and they turn out great, He showed me a new material that was carbon reinforced, it was light, very strong and tough as s--t. We are going to do a front for the c5 out it and I am sure that the flares could be made out of the same stuff, would definitely pass on a few sets to people on the road race forum for what ever they cost to do. Any suggestions would be welcome for sure

hurry! Make them so they still attach and you would be able to cut some more height out of the fender / wheelwell opening. thanks

GettReal

I'd be interested in a front/rear set. How would you attach?

deetee

im very interested with this one.
and yeah i hope we can cut the wheel well gap between fender and the tire so the c5 wont look like 4x4 truck

Exotica

Another interested party here.

Thats how these were designed they flare off the bottom of the wheel well so you could run a 1" - 1 1/2" wider wheels and leave the car at appropriate ride height and get the look the street guys want. They actually fit the fender contour perfect so they could even be stuck on with tape. but wouldn't most of you want to be able to cut the wheel well open more for the track? I did them when my car was a street/track and not a pure track car. thoughts? a few more pics

deetee

perfect, lower the fender gap around 1" will be perfect dont have to be flare out much, 1/2"-3/4" should be enough
i'll take one set and im thinking to painted it match my silver body

Looks good. Exactly what I've been looking for. I would suggest taking the front section of the rears all the way down.

deetee

put it in the general section maybe you can get a lot more input.
i got lucky doing the search to find this post

travisnd

Oh yeah... that's just what you want... input from all the floormats obsessed waxers

Why not make them in flexible ABS plastic... crap gets torn up on a race car anyway.

z06801

might as well post up a pic of the new race wing so they can all tell me my car is rice
i thought glass or carbon just because the molds are easier to build and I was just making them for myself I have done a lot of injection molds for my business and they are $$

travisnd

Gotcha... I have zero experience with molding. I figured plastic would be cheaper, but sounds like you're the expert on that front.

z06801

you are absolutely correct about the part cost, in fact they would probably be less than 10.00 bucks each out of a injection mold in ABS but the tooling would be 15-20K for each fender, definitely not an expert I just had to have molds made for my products, working on a new helmet right now tooling will be 25-30K each size for 3 sizes
