jevansio Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) I've mulling over an idea today. I'm trying to complete my carbon look on the car, I'm going with a TS diffuser, but I'm still undecided on the skirts. I know Ridox do a skirt with a carbon lip but it's a little too "straight" for my liking. I was toying in Photoshop & thought maybe something which sticks over the OEM skirts front & back along the lines of this: Keeping the sweeping lines of the original skirts with the carbon highlight I want. The front one may even come a little deeper to line up with the front RMM lip. Edit also the Photoshop copies quite a bright part of the RMM lip so I doubt a finished product would look so grey. Does anyone know who could help me achieve such a part (someone good with carbon fibre, I want a very good fit) and what would such a part cost to make. I realise a one off is very expensive, so does anyone else think it's a good idea?

Aero-M Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Can't help you with who does stuff like that, But I think that would look really good with the rest of your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 I rekon your car is as perfect as it gets! Leave it alone much appreciated, I know what you mean, but I can't help feel the front lip unbalances the car somehow, I know a diffuser will help, maybe it's me being a bit OCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Your car needs nothing IMO, leave it as it is, the one off carbon will be expensive thats for sure. If you have to get a price I would PM Supramemole who was making a lot of bespoke carbon bits in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to get a price I would PM Supramemole who was making a lot of bespoke carbon bits in the US *queue spooky music* I have just PM'd him while you were typing that It's tough not changing it, I need to keep doing bits otherwise it becomes stagnant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 CF Uk lip would look cool, doubt it would last long, can't recall how many times I hit mine ditto... but CF is invincible isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I would leave it the way it is! Just money for no great gain if you ask me:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramemole Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Those sides are rare over here.. I have been trying to get a set to complete my RHD supra.. I have also tossed around the idea of making the front active spoiler in CF as well. that i already got and install. I love that lip and now i have it... i scrap mine too just pulling into my driveway...but i think i still want one in CF.. no one makes it and again i could be the first one to make it..lol... if you can highlight the areas your talking about and either post here or send via pm that would be great... thanks again Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Chris, there are 2 pieces that seem to bulge from the main skirt, these are the bits I am on about, circled in white dots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramemole Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 if i had a set of those skirts it would be easy to pop molds from that and make the parts your looking for... I soooooo have to get me a set of those..lol.. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
