NaiChemsya Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Has anyone ever tried contacting a Carbon Fiber manufacturer to see what it would take to get someone to make hood/trunk/fenders for the Z34? If not how many people would be interested in this venture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Talk to brianhasadd... He's been telling me about hoods for a new 04-06 GP but I'm not at home and I don't have the link he sent me. I never looked to see if they offer anything for Luminas.

slick Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 How much money are you willing to shell out? Multiply that x5, and you'll spend that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 The closest you'd find to that, would be fiberglass stock car body panels, but they may not be the exact dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I remember something over a year ago......someone had carbon fiber body panels made for Gen I Ws. Since the search is still down, you'll have to wait. I think the material was carbon fiber......coulda been fiberglass though. Maybe someone else will remember this.

z34_nut Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Slick, wern't you looking at purchasing some fiberglass panels, or are they WAAY off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 you could get one off parts made, but prepare to spend an ass load. They did have fiberglass parts, but they were extended for drag car setup's, such as V8 and n-s engine mounting. I think either way your screwed. Hate to break the news to you, but if you want an aftermarket get a civic, if you want a very dependable couch on wheels keep your w!

NaiChemsya Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I want the carbon fiber for weight reduction. I talked to a guy and he said that fiberglass would weigh more than stock metal. Don't know if it's true, but considering he is part of one of the largest custom shops in the area I decided to take his word for it. I figure a key thing in making my Z faster is shaving weight.

Yeah, thats true with.. well anything. These cars suffer from a huge lack of aftermarket. Just about everything that is done perf. wise to our cars is a one off, high priced custom peice. But hey, why buy a 2002+ civic for 10k or so, when you can get an LS1 f-body for the same price.... geeze [ricer]jay![/ricer] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru2Chevy Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/site.htm Click on Catalog in the menu on the left, then scroll down till you get to 91-94 Lumina Z34. Click on that link, and it will show you the parts that they offer. Supposedly anything they offer in 'glass, they also sell in CF. The extended nose and hood won't work for you, but maybe the rear bumper and trunk lid would. - Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
