i think the carbon roof spoiler allready has enough interest to make it worth the guys time. it all depends on how serious the guy is about making them.
$300-$400 per lip?

Ok, so the verdict now is, CF Lip Kit (for myself, prototype until later on), and production rear window lip spoiler, trunk and hood. Prices are to be determined soon. We are trying to get the best price all together due to him being able to get material hookup at wholesale price or less. Stay tuned for more! All questions and comments are welcome!

you guys should do the prototype lip kit for your car to gather interest and help sell the product.

i think i have found carbon fiber, and abs plastic roof spoilers that will work on 2G TL's. I am waiting to hear back from on person to verify one last measurement. then i will be the guinea pig, and order one to see how they fit.

how about waiting for a prototype to be made, you dont even know what they will look like yet.

once he has an actual product to show and gather interest, it would make sense to make a new thread.

exactly, that's what I'm saying. just wait and see how much the materials cost and then make a prototype or two and then just let everyone know prices I was at my girlfriend's. Posted in a hurry.

^ if TL's are gonna have a cf hood, ppl should use flush-mount hoodpins... the normal ones look too much for our cars imo.

Let me be the skeptical one, only because in the six years ive been on this site, I dont have enough fingers and toes to count the times i have heard that someone was going to have a friend or company fabricate something for our cars. But please put me down on the list for pre-orders if this happens. Also the CF hood for 02-03 tls is on ebay for $179 plus shipping of $285, maybe going to try to haggle on shipping with the seller.

Would be perfect to replace a poorly painted NBP hood. kill two birds with one stone.

Is this bashing getting old? :P

Prices are released for the hood and trunk.

CF Hood (of OEM design) - $360 shipped. $300 local.
CF Trunk (of OEM design) - $450 shipped. $390 local.

Bundle price will be $750 shipped, $630 local.

The designs are in progress. He's a pretty busy guy as he does cars for shows and whatnot. Soon as I hear back from him this week, I'll be able to drop off an extra trunk that I have that I happened to get from my neighbor down the street who also owns a 2nd Gen TL. I'm still looking for a hood local, so if anyone has one, please let me know. He somehow got side skirts and the rear lip for the car from somewhere, so that's been taken care of. I'm not sure on the time this will take and I'm hoping it won't take too long. But I am also busy with a project for my car that I want to get done by end of February. Stay tuned for more info!
