someone needs to start fabricating parts for the 1st Gens...
im currently looking for people around town who are willing to do some fabricating for our cars. There are no promises of this ever happening. But if i can somehow find someone, i'll let you guys know...
but so far.. i need some ideas of stuff to fab..
im thinking of Taillights (red/white) / CF 3.0 engine pieces... i garantee you these mods arent going to be cheap if it will even happen.
i just wanna know who would be up for it..
and also what other ideas do you guys have for fabricating.
PS. not going to fab. front lips since a lot of people on forum have ww alrealdy , maybe back lips though.

 

so you want ricey taillights and useless pieces to show off an ugly engine bay?

 

^ so u think the new CLs have ricey taillights??

i'd like to see those tails and possibly rear lips...

 

I agree that the carbon fiber engine pieces are useless. Carbon fiber is used to save weight AND to add strength. It will do neither covering an engine. Also IMO carbon fiber is ugly unless done right and put in the right places.

How about an H-brace for under the car...a cam...a turbo kit for $2500 for everything.

 

how about some extreme side skirts or something. that would be sweet, and agreed a rear lip would be pimp

 

lip kit and performance parts and nice tailights wouldnt be bad like maybe red top white bottem or viseversa nothing like all white out shit tho

 

i think if they made first gen tailights like the o3 cl's would be hot!

 

i think thats what he is talking about...

 

i was just clarifying for the folks that dont know what he meant.

i guess our lights would be the opposite of the 03 cls. the clear part would be on the bottom, im assuming. i guess they could be fabrikated with the clear on top.

 

i know

i think the white will look better on the top then on the bottom

...but we can't get too excited, we still dont know if its gonna happen...

 

I think what he meant was that they'd look ricey on our cars, if for no other reason than that we spent alot of money on fabricating direct replacement tail lenses to look like a different car's.

 

i agree on the not getting too excited part cuz im already excited. i think it would be if thoose tailights got manufactured for our cars.

 

i done even have the plastic pieces on my engine... talkin bout ugly... id buy some cf ones. but theyed have to have rolled edges, and have the exact same stock shape. im pretty particular. and mybee even painted black. with holes for the A and 3.0vtec

 

That doesn't make them ricey, how stupid.

I don't think it will look good though. The design of the talights would not look right split horizontaly.

 

check it out VVVVVV

 

yea what i meant was make the taillights like the 03 CL's New audi's etc......
its not ricey at all!! i think it looks pretty clean.. i remember a while back.. i think last summer. there was a post about changing the lights to white and red.. and some one did a good photoshop of it..
i think it looks better the top half white.. maybe.
as for the CF engine pieces ... i was thinking of just using that for shows or what not.. but i guess CF engine pieces are a lil too pricey for such insignificant mod.. but then again the CF trend is in.. and people get CF everything... litterally

 

btw chucks.. ahah that photoshop looks like it can be done in real life... simply by adding a strip of white vinyl haha

 

How about:
- Projector headlights with black housings
- Eyelids for the headlights
- CF hoods
- Black housings on clear bumper lights
- Redesigned front grill
- 5 or 6 speed trannys for teh 3.0 guys.

 

 

How bout instead of useless C/F engine covers, which I might be intereseted in, but is a waste. How about you find someone to mold a batch of C/F hoods? If they're close to you, they could borrow your hood to make a mold! Now that's something that people on here would like fab'd for their cl's

 

Can you do the lights white on top? My 90' Teg had the white on top red on bottom, I loved the back of that car. Sorry, no pics at the moment.

A non-factory looking grill. i.e. a custom grill. Comprende?


In addition to the fabrikations I mentioned above, how about CF
or aluminum trim for the interior. That'll be hot.

 

that would 0wn!

 

ok, i comprende

a nice trim kit would be nice...

 

well i just phoned a couple of places... but im just getting started.
i found out that the red and white taillight mod can certainly be done!
except that its goin to cost a A LOT!! theres a process called vacuum forming... where they can shape plastic by making plastic molds.. and they can make any color.. so far my quote was roughly 3 thousand dollars to make 2 pairs of custom tail lights .... haha i asked around for eyelids... they said it was very possible..shouldnt be a problem.

 

I hope that's a typo because if not and there's no way I'm paying over
$250.00 for both. Actually I wouldn't even get the tailights for my CL, I'm getting the black film that rockblocker is making for our tailights.
It's going to look sick on my black CL.

You should definately push for the eyelids and the others mods I mentioned on pg. 1.

 

$3000 for some tailights is outrageous.

 

yea i wonder how many people would go for it... i think a year ago when eyelids were mentioned... everyone considered it rice .. lots of members were hating on it... but after jamolies car.. people started seeing it from another pov.

 

i was thinking 1000 for 2 pairs i would do it.. anything that has to make a mold of... its not worth it just buying 1 or 2... its usually like mass produced products.

 

c/f hood also requires a mold, but I bet you'd get a better response for those if you could find somewhere to mold. Then these foo's could start saving

 

For $3000 you should get alot more than 2 pairs. If I had the $$$ to throw into replacement tailights, I would say $500/pair is fair.

 

i use to do vacuum molding with plastic in high school. there is no way that the chemicals and materials needed, and the labor involved would be 3000 dollars. if i had a spare set of tail lights and about 100 bucks i could do it easily.

 

go for the eyelids for sure

 

That goes to show you how company's try to rip/rape you. :shakehead

$3,000?

 

Get to it be0tch!!!

 

Here's my ps...

 

No offense but that looks like shit. Maybe if the clear had a red border around it and was more less a rectangle inside the taillight instead of the split look.

 

What do YOU care...Stratus boy...

 

perhaps if the clear had been going horizontally, it would look nice.
