In case you guys missed this thread (https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/fabr...28-grille.html), A fellow TGO member made a nice looking CF grille for our camaros. The attention to it created a sort of drama to have a one time batch made. Thought I would share the news for anyone that may be interested here. I am #3 on the list. I think Mr.IrocZ is going to be in on this as well. The member wants $200 for each one made and we need at least 5 people committed to purchase.

 

It is poo-poo

 

IF I had the correct bumper I would be all over it.

 

Srs?

 

i think its SICK! wish i had the play dollars to spend.

 

absolutely sick, not the look I'm going for on my car otherwise I'd paypal the money right now! good luck selling them

 

Yes I do not like it. Your car will lose all credibility in my eyes with that on the front of it

 

You make my cry into my pillow till I fall asleep.

 

Sorry Travis, carbon fiber is for Imports.

Looks cool, but doesn't fit the look of the car. Maybe it'll look diff in person

 

We will know in a couple weeks

 

I think you would need some more CF to compliment it. Maybe carbon fiber back hatch or something?? Were you thinking about doing anything like that?

 

is that the only finish available?

i like this finish a lot better



either way i love the look!

 

I believe that finish you posted is in a gelcoat. Gelcoat gives the additional shine.

 

If you had it gelcoated. I could give it the undercover89tbi stamp of approval for usage on all third gen camaro's. But until that time it is poopy.

 

That shiney faux **** is what all the ricers like. The dull look is what the real vacuum bagged stuff looks like.

Look at these, they are all the real deal, the air cleaner is from debotech

 

Carbon fiber valve covers! Drool.

So this proves that Anthony is a r1cer at heart

 

valve covers are from wolfden products. looks like they dropped the price to 450, they used to be 695 or so

$450

Bottom of the to do list.

 

For the record I own the absolute most american, most muscle car in history of mankind. The 68-70 Dodge Charger.

 

There's a lot of better things I could spend $200 on or post ***** in TraviZ

 

Like your Ebay fee's to pawn off your vehicle collection

 

???

Have yet to sell a car on eBay, I was thinking more like a CNC ported intake manifold, but go ahead and keep talking about stuff you don't know about

Maybe I should have got some eBay fees from those door panels...

 

CNC ported intake manifold for what?

 

SBC

 

link?

 

Carbon fiber valve covers $350/pair, was thinking about getting a pair or getting some "Pontiac" ones from SDPC.

 

so the fabricated aluminum valve cover craze is over and now carbon fiber is hot? dang! My mopars engine is going to be outdated by the time I get it in the car.

 

Those carbon covers look like the ones scooter perf. sells. Forgot brand name

Carbon covers is not a craze. I have had the sbc ones for a couple years now. I have some bbc ones too, those are k&n but they warped the flanges. Carbon covers have always been expensive so you hardly see them. I have intercoolers with carbon tanks, talk about rare.

 

Fabricated still owns stamped any day! but carbon fiber is just taking it one step farther. The **** looks cool and is functional if you consider the weight savings.

 

fabricated aluminum is so light anyway..i mean another pound or so aint really ****.

 

You would be amazed at how much lighter my carbon covers are compared to my fabricated ones. The carbon ones are featherlight

 

weight may not be a big deal in these cases but in the end is it a nice show piece as well and we all know we like to have pretty engines.

 

Weight is definitely an issue (especially if you have a porky convertible!) once you start being a weight weenie. A few grams here and there can add up to a considerable weight savings. Why lug around extra weight if you don't need to?

 

Unless the entire car is on a diet, then its pointless.

 

exactly if your radiator core area is not like Marc's then GTFO! haha!!

 

Thats why I removed one lug nut from every wheel.

 

Huh? I didn't think my rad core was so special

 

That is a little ****, would barely I mean barely change anything

 

That's rotating mass bro. It counts for more

 

Wait didnt you cut our your radiator core support area and do it all tubular? or am i mistaken?

 

every 1 lb of rotating mass removed is like removing 7 pounds of weight right?

 

2.7ounces each lug nut equates to a savings of 4.725 "rotating mass" lbs!
Yea man, almost lost 5lbs dropping a lug nut at each corner!

 

I'd go in on one, but not for 200.00, holy crap

 

The price isnt bad considering the costs of carbon fiber itself, this is a full CF build not an overlay. then the cost for the mans time to build these himself

 

Understandable, just hard to justify the expense. I dig it.

 

well ya figure a brand new bowtie grille costs 90.00 plus shipping..so 200 isnt that bad really...

 

They're actually comin' down, perrypam on ebay has "camaro" foglight grilles new for $69.00, but I hear ya.

 

oh really? Yeah Id never pay 200 dollars for it. But when you compare the two it isnt so far out of price.

 

Or you can go with TI wheel lug nuts and cut a whole lot more of weight and keep all 5 lugs on the wheel.

 

That's a nice grill. Not ***** at all
