Default new one piece front end design ......

Just testing waters Ive been talking with my body guy and was wondering how many out there would be intrested in a one piece front other than mb . There products is nice but I dont think there progressing fast enough for this industry .
The design would be similar to mb in style but with lower front lip and larger fenders to cover up to 28" slicks and maybe a little more , the cowel would be pulled a little more to move more air over the hood to keep the front down similar to funny car style cowel . Just some ideas poping in my head right now . Let me know and if you have any ideas that might improve aerodynamics let me know . I know there are more than enough quick class guys on this board to put info in on this .-Pdang

I really like pf modify'd design but i think it can do with out all the light and grill indentions and the price on this thing is a grip i called a while back to get the pricing they want somewhere in the 1400 rang for the front fiberglass and carbon fiber hood a little pricy . But its still an option in my book.-pdang

daym at that price its not an option for Most racers.. I dont doubt that its a good piece.. but for the same function, the MB is good enough and way way cheaper.
just my opinion though...

The reason MB is not progressing in this industry is because they are trying to weed them selfs out little by little. They are kind of fed up with the bullcrap that goes on in our market. Im not a huge fan for their front ends...They were awesome in the begining but now everyones jumping up in slick size, we need larger front ends. They get the job done, but are not the most fancy peices though. Price is right on the MB stuff though. I think it would be a great idea for someone to come out with front ends and fiberglass body panels. When more people get into it, the products start becoming nicer as well because the have to compete.

1400 bucks seems a little pricey. I like the design though, lots a lot better than some of the other fiberglass front ends out now.

what I think we need are fenders that are wider than stock for large slicks.

so far all i think he has is that front already made for the 02 civic. we modded one to go on a 91 crx which is tite and a few on 92-95 hatches.
call him and check to see what he can do on fenders.. . . im sure it wont be a prob.

Im sorry the prices are as followed
fiberglass-435.

Does anyone know who makes the front end on Jotech car, Sav car, The aerospeed race car? I like does front ends cause they cover the 28'' slicks and sit lower.

Go RPM made aerospeeds and Jotechs front ends. They are no longer around. Savs front end was made by Fiber Images and then modified by his father.

If your looking for front ends or just body panels let me know. I am at Franks everyday and his involvment into the Hondas is becoming more of a presence. He has done a full race Del Sol and my car will come out soon. The owner of the Del Sol is there frequently and offering advice but what Frank really wants to know what you guys want. We have a quite a few things now on the new website that will be up in a few days. His prices are exrememly competative as i see what goes into each peice and see the level of quality that has to be meet before it leaves his shop. If you would like to drop some feedback as to what you would like to see let us know and if there is a demand he will make it. We are looking to make a big impact in 04 and i hear so many complaints about MB and im offering a solution.
