Carbon Fiber product soon to be introduced

Hello,

By the looks of it the TSX market is not YET flooded with great products so all of the products need to be custom made. Me myself am a cf fanatic and hope there are others like me...

So i need to kno what you guys want... Any ideas are welcome

PLUS!!! Any one who would supply a piece that would help create the finished product will recieve that product in CF @cost or even free.

But it is up to you guys to tell me what you want. We can make anything from mirrors to hoods to even full body kits.

ALSO THE VIZAGE BODY KIT HITS THE USA ON SEPT 28.

I'd love to see an engine kit as well. Valve cover, fuse box cover, and maybe some other custom pieces to cover the alternator and other exposed areas of the engine.

I would love to "submit" the cover over the spark plugs, panel next to the windshield that cover next to the windshield wipers that you see from outside the car, and the trim piece around the shifter. What needs to happen as far as submitting and getting back my OEM part? Once we figure that out, I'd love to talk discounted price and timing.

Adhesive (non-clipped) Body side moldings would be nice.

A trunk spoiler that is somewhere between the OEM and a BMW style Lip spoiler in height.

I am happy many people are interested. As for submiting an oem piece for the manufacturing process, it is easy. You just send it to us and we would send it back as soon as the mold for the carbon fiber is made, unless it is modifiedy which will be discussed prior. Here are a few if the things we know we will do


Eyelids
Engine Covers
Grill
Spoiler
Roof Spoiler
Mirror covers
Misc. interior trim pieces


We would like to make a carbon fiber hood, but if you guys want we would need to have an original one for the mold. I can start making them in a few weeks. And they would be approx 500-600 shipped

If any of you have induvidual question please email me or simply message me via Aim at Fusion Auto

Eyelids are pretty much an accent to the for the headlight to give them a semi different look

roof spoiler is the same thing as a trunk spoiler but usually only for cosmetic purposes

Hope this helps

I have no idea what a roof spoiler is...

...but eyelids are those things that you see on the "ricey" cars that cover up part of the headlights (like that's a good idea). :shakehd:

Actually, can I request that you NOT make CF eyelids? Thanks.

Thanks for the explanations. I think I know what the eyelids are now (doesn't sound too bright to me either). I've never seen a roof spoiler on a 4-dr sedan before, to be honest I think that would be really goofy. A hatch or wagon maybe. But to each their own.

Good on ya, Fusion for finding a market niche and filling it. For me, I couldn't see adding on any CF component unless it was a lightweight replacement for something else and thus actually helped performance. The TSX is heavy enough as it is. Cosmetic mods just don't do it for me, I'm into go, not show. That's not to say that go can't look good, but bolting on too much show will usually only result in slow.

A grill package that can include pieces fitted for the main grill area, the lower grill area, and the fog light grill things (for those who don't have fogs) would be nice. I think the grill should probably be done in fiberglass, though. It doesn't weigh that much in the first place, and most would probably want to color match it anyway. Fiberglass and mesh maybe?

Some cutting may be required to add the bottom grills, but I think it would look awesome.

Oh another thing that i would "love" to see is radiator panel, to help put more air into the radiator and a windsheild wiper wing. i actually don't know what it's called but i know that Phase racing has one and they claim that it helps the wiper blade to work properly on higher speeds.

Thumbs up weight reduction is only value

Am I wrong in assuming the only benefit of carbon fiber is the reduction of weight, over steel? That being the case, and given the fuel-economy expecations we all had for our TSX's, the entire body should be carbon-fiber. What else?

the only thing made out of CF that is even worth the money is a CF hood. anything else IMO is just overkill and for cosmetics.

We are currently trying to pick up a project car. If everything works out the way needed we will be able to have carbon fiber made in different colors as well

Black/Grey Carbon Fiber
Red/Black Carbon Fiber
Blue/Black Carbon Fiber

maybe even more if people are interested.

Would you guys be interested in a tsx cf hood, im not sure if any one makes them. For now we will be making Engine Covers, Radiator Panel, GRILL, and intereior accents.

-Eddie

If any one of you guys/gals are interested please PM me, Aim Me @ Spivy1207 or Fusion Auto, or give me a call on my direct line 617-892-3480
