Carbon Goodies Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Dry carbon bonnet... OomfWait until my new website is launched and have a look at the Evo 4-6 full dry carbon dashboard coming in at a weight of 1.5kg. That dash is an absolute work of art. Then there is the Evo 5-6 bonnet coming in at a weight of 2.6kg.I know they're not for the Starlet but these items are a work of art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I did'nt need to cover any hole with my spoiler just bolted straight on and that was it as far as I can remember not near the car to check now though. Crazy prices all the same I did'nt need to cover any hole with my spoiler just bolted straight on and that was it as far as I can remember not near the car to check now though.

PaulStarletSR Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 whats the difference between dry carbon and normal carbon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Proper parts are proper money. it's not like they just copied the product and sold it on. they had to buy a demo car and design the products and so on. You lot clearly don't appreciate good quality and workman ship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Nah we all just buy copies it seems. And no fucking wonder when you see the cost of those ^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carbon Goodies Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 whats the difference between dry carbon and normal carbon?Dry carbon is basically pre pregnated carbon rather than using a wet lay process, this makes it much lighter. On bonnets the frame is usually made from carbon rather than metal which saves a lot of weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I must say though that I was pretty shocked when I worked out the prices.Nah we all just buy copies it seems. And no fucking wonder when you see the cost of those ^LOL!!!It's different things for different people though fella. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Its not that we dont appreciate good quality and workman ship.We just dont like getting bent over and shaftted! Once you have a mould made up every other bonnet, spoiler bumper is copied from that mould! If there was a limited edition where there was like only 5made or so then i could understand paying top dollor but they arnt they are all copied from the same mould and mass made!They would sell a hell of alot more if the prices where reasonable and they would make more money because they would sell more!

daniel_g Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ano man, not at all doubting they are good products but gen items are rare for a reason, and hey, if i had a spare 4.5 grand + bodyshop fees to spend on a full gen varis kit then i would, problem is it wouldn't fit my GT....

Glanza Mac Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yay , it doesn't look good tho not being lacquered which I will be getting done at some point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carbon Goodies Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yay , it doesn't look good tho not being lacquered which I will be getting done at some pointPersonally I would advise you not to. If it is dry carbon then you have something very rare and very expensive, be a little different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTStarlet92 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 All this talk of carbon evo dash makes me want a starlet one? Would this be possible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carbon Goodies Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Anything is possible for a price, but if you factor in the development cost of making a full carbon dash like the evo one, it would end up costing more than the average Starlet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
