[EOI] CF SW20 Bootlid + Other bits ***PRICES***

Hey guys,
I am able to source high quality carbon fiber SW20 bootlids (see pic). These will be significantly lighter than the standard item, but are still very strong. 
 
At this stage I'm just looking if there is enough interest in a CF part like this, and if it will be viable. Pricing envisioned to be cheaper than the current similar overseas counterparts eg. eBay.
 

 
Cheers,
Josh

    I might be interested depending on cost. 
     
    I don' t know what CF ones weigh, but I weighed my OEM steel boot lid on its own at 7.5 kg.
     
    The total weight of boot lid and '90  model spoiler is 13 kg. (not counting the side pieces)

    stuka - I would expect about 3 to 4 kg weight savings. :)

    Blue2 - I will have to check regarding bonnet, but I don't see why not. I will get back to you when I have more info.
     
    I'm also looking into supplying other CF parts such as front 'speed flaps', front lips etc.
     
    Fiberglass bits will also be an option too, so I'm getting molds made up for the two front SW20 under-trays, which will be a replacement for the ones that are usually scrapped/fallen off on older cars.

    Just updating this:
    I'm currently finalising pricing with the supplier, so I will be able to provide it soon! 
     
    Who is still interested?

    lovemyMR2 - I'll get back to you soon regarding the CF bonnet once I've spoken to the supplier, but I can't see why not. The engine lids that will be initially offered are the "F355 Style" in either CF or FRP (fiberglass). I'll find out to see if any other types are going to be made available.

    mobi - No problem, same as above and I'll be letting you know pricing as soon as I can.

    Ok without further ado, here are some prices!
     
    SW20 boot lid in CF: $675 + shipping*
     
    SW20 bonnet in CF: $950 + shipping* (can do Border style or OEM style)
    SW20 bonnet in FRP (fibreglass): $850 + shipping*
    SW20 "F355 style" engine lid in CF: $500 + shipping*
    SW20 "F355 style" engine lid in FRP: $400 + shipping*
     
    Also looking at doing SW20 Gen 3 front lips in CF for about $350 or so + shipping*
     
    All high quality vacuum molded carbon fibre. Finish quality is guaranteed or money back.
    50% deposit required up-front and the rest when it's ready to ship out from the factory.
     
    I've attached a few pics of some example pieces (incl. Border style CF bonnet) to illustrate the quality.  I have personally inspected the CF diffuser shown (FD RX7) and it is very light weight, strong and finished beautifully. 
     
    *Shipping costs will be from Adelaide SA to your door. (ie. much less than from UK, USA etc.)
