I remember reading from a previous thread about how expensive do-lucks front lips were and how it would be great to have one in fiberglass also. This in my opinion would be a great inexpensive product to have that could be painted, kept a neutral color, whatever... I'll let you guys decide.
The fact that it is on the front of the car and would take a serious beating from rocks, curbs, and anything else down there. I feel that it makes good sense to create one in fiberglass instead of carbon fiber. Granted carbon fiber would look nicer but probably would not last as long. Especially for those guys with lower suspension.
So what I'm getting to is that I have a very well known custom fiberglass shop right next door to where I work and they are interested in creating these for our cars. The shops name is Autoform and they manufacture several parts for the Dodge Viper and some other cars. Their quality is the very best seeing that major car manufactures use them to create prototypes/concept cars for them. They wanted me to put out a feeler to see how many people would be interested in them. They said I would need like 20-25 people to show interest and they would produce them from us.
I think this a great opportunity to not only get a great product from a very well know custom house but also to have it designed to our specs. Please brainstorm here and lets come up with some ideas of how we would like it to be. Any suggestions or comments appreciated.

Cheers

 

FYI...
They are also working on a rear diffuser for our Evos. Is there any intrest in this item?

 

Pis ?

 

sorry man.. I cant resist..

 

It's cool, funny pic.
They actually don't even have one made yet, just putting out a feeler to see if there is any ontrest.

 

Any suggestions on how it should look. I used Do-luck as a reference becuse people know what it looks like. We could have it look anyway we want.

 

actually.. a front lip would great and would make some money.. the replacement lip I was quoted from the dealership was $400. And there are a lot of people breaking the lip.. (including my self)

The carbon fiber look (fake and cheap) would be very nice..

 

bump for the people that didn't read this...

 

maybe instead of a lip they could manufacture something to replace the undertray and serve as a lip/splitter at the same time. i would be interested if it could tackle both tasks and still be eye-catching. just my .02

 

if its good price i'd consider it

 

i heard bad things about fiberglass, bad fitting cheaper material. and i don' know how a fiberglass would outlast real cf. if i misread something and am making an *** out of myself let me know

 

dmevo: This is true about some fiberglass products that are not made correctly or don't have the time invested in them to fit properly. Trust me when I say that this company would not let a poor, untested product leave their doors. The fact that they make a high-end car aftermarket aero parts is one thing but it's the fact major car manufactures trust them in creating prototype parts for them.
asasin79: That is a good idea that I had never thought of. Taking the lip/splitter one step further and creating an entire undertray that would serve as a lip and a underbody aerodynamic piece

Lets keep this going! Good thoughts guys keep them coming .

 

bump for new day/new ideas

 

Thanks for taking the initiative!

There definitely is a need for an affordable, high-quality front lip. I'm partial to the Monster Sport lip, but I'm guessing it requires their front bumper. The simplicity of the Do-Luck lip is nice, too. I haven't looked under my EVO recently, so I'm not sure whether a combined lip / undercarriage tray is worth the effort. All I'd probably recommend are air ducts for the brakes. I'm down for this, so keep us posted.

 

Id definitely de interested in the Varis Or Doluck
