Thread: CF Trunk Moved to Group Buy Section

youll have my deposit by monday. By any chance do you know when he'll have these up and ready to start shipping?

All depends on when the payments are in, the deposits should be in soon and that will speed up the process.

1) How much weight would you save with fenders? Not much is my guess. Fenders just don't weigh much.



2) Have we figured this out yet? Is there another way to incorporate a center light? What about a clean install inside the car in the center-bottom of the rear window? I know some vehicles have the light in that placement. Is there another (Nissan) vehicle that incorporates a center light in such a manner? Could we "steal" one from a junkyard and install it?

3) Could washer nozzles be installed by the purchaser? Ie...if someone had skills (like my body-guy Sal, who did my Restoration) could they drill and install the nozzles?


4) Forgive my ignorance. Is that a 3rd brake light inside the rear window at the bottom/center? If the answer is "yes" that answers my question #2 above.


Stephen, good to see you back around.

5) IMO, we have to have provisions for the inner tails. Either from the CF guy, or a template as discussed.

I am absolutely NOT running my vehicle with a "built in" reason for LEO's to pull me over. I have been arrested waaaaay too many times, and....how do I say this....sometimes I am...ahem..."ridin' dirty." Is that the correct youngster-terminology? I occasionally have...."things"....in my car that I do NOT want anybody with a badge looking for nor discovering. Like last night on the way home......


6) The weight savings is critical on my decision making process. I am NOT running CF on the outside of my vehicle. Any CF products (hood or trunk) will be painted OEM Nissan Superblack, and then installed on my vehicle. For me these products are all about weight savings. The only way you will know I have a CF hood is if I open it for you.

How light (approximately) are the proposed CF pieces? What is the weight savings over stock on each item?



7) Will the hoods have the proper mounting places for the stock OEM hood latch? And...then we should also install hood pins as a safety measure, correct?

That hurts the "stealth" factor a bit having hood pins. But it is not a "deal breaker." I have seen those hood pins that are flat, and have a locking mechanism built in. Aerocatch or something along those lines. If the hood was painted, and the hood pins were fairly "flat" (and black in my case) they would be reasonably stealthy.

Those are my questions. I may be able to swing the hood (probably), and I just might be able to add a trunk to my order (possible, not likely).

Thanks!

An ugly example, but you get the idea.

put me down for b13 hood and maybe trunk. deposit will be sent this week. thanks alot

Guys to give you an idea of how light the trunks are:

I have a b14 trunk in my basement in a box packaged correctly and it weighs 20lbs in the box. After looking at this one and the mold I saw how the guy did the inner tailights and the trunk release, we might have to do it from the CF guy. I'm going to take pictures and show you what I mean (this is on a b14 trunk so keep this in mind when looking at the pictures)






THIS IS NOT HIS WORK JUST AN EXAMPLE OF A B14 TRUNK THAT WAS DONE BEFORE AND HOW THE LIGHTS AND TRUNK RELEASE WERE SET UP.

Deposit is only for the trunk

deposit sent thanks alot.
