Carbon Fiber T-Tops

[THEDUCK]

Just finished up mounting my carbon fiber T-Tops. these are mounted on a set of scrap T-Tops for fitment checks.
No fiberglass filler or mat and one layer of carbon BS, these have 4 layers of aerospace carbon cloth with a specialized core material to complete the lamination.
UV stable resin was used, with vacuum infusion.
the hardest part with this project was finding the correct type of rubber seals....
looking for a gage of interest on these, will be selling around $550 for the pair.
Literally takes about 10 minutes to install.
OEM weight is 16lbs, carbon versions came in at 6lbs.

Different weaves and colors are available at buyers request.

Little dirty with all my finger prints :/

Ok I spoke to Greg, you can post your email back up.

[THEDUCK]

Sorry about that

[AZhitman]

No worries.

Cool product.

One suggestion: If you're going to introduce something that cool, how about some "finished" pictures? Buff out the red paint, reinstall the black rubber rain channels, and clean off the fingerprints.

Those will have no problem selling.

[THEDUCK]

Agreed...I was just too excited of the outcome I just had to share

[AZhitman]

Here's a deal for you: Advertise 'em for free here.

Get some good pics and a nice description. We'll pimp it out on our social media network and maybe the homepage. After you've sold a few, hook one of our Mods up with a special deal on a set (in return for the publicity).

I like to make sure our volunteer mods get hooked up once in a while for all their hard work.

Cool?

That is a cool offer/outcome. The OP should jump on that.

I'm not interested in carbon figer anything, otherwise I'd be applying to become a mod!

Nah.. life is busy enough.

Great site by the way!

Sounds like a plan to me!
just wait to see you see whats coming next, its going to knock your socks off...still making the plug so it will be a few weeks. also making a one piece slicked up window cowl first, then ill bring out the big guns

[Hackysac300zx]

Def let us know when these are ready to go...im super interested in a set!!!

[THEDUCK]

Hackysac,
I'm placing an order for material tomorrow. If you would like a set please send me an email so i we can make arrangements.

[catnipple]

Super cool idea.

I like that alot more than carbon fiber vinyl roof applications.

Good looking, and effective saving a bit of weight.

[DCaff300ZX]

I have to agree that these would look pretty good with a CRP Z, and would be a cool alternative to the t-top shades if changing back and forth from cf to regular glass truly took only ten minutes a side.
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to your other pieces you mentioned!

[Nismovs]

This is awesome. +1 for finished pics with all the trim on them. Def something I'll be adding to my list

[THEDUCK]

Couple of pictures of a fiberglass version to showcase the honeycomb core...

This is an excellent offer!

[THEDUCK]

Wonder who the lucky admin will be

Ill have some pics in a few weeks after more material comes in.

thanks guys!

[AZhitman]

No need to worry about that right now - We're just excited to help you launch your venture.

It's awesome to see small projects turn into big projects, and big projects turn into life-changing businesses!

Any chance you would make these for a 2+2 as well? If you need a set for the mold I have a spare set.

That would be great! I will hook you up with a set at material cost for helping me out.
But first, I need a head count on approximatly would be interested in a 2+2 version.
Wonder if mark could set us up with a vote?

[catnipple]

I like where this is going.

I'd be all over these if I still had my z32!!

[NolimitZ32]

DUCK, if you start producing some other high quality pieces you will definitely find a ton of business here, this is awesome, I might even have a set made for my 2+0, if you are still on these in a couple years (out of the country right now).

I would venture to guess that there will be very few that will inquire about them for the 2+2 but there are some of us limo faithful that might be. Just let me know if and when you want the set sent out.

[DanDrath]

awesome! i too would be interested, down the road once i finish up my current project

Don't worry about me hangign around I've had my Z for over ten years, Now she is a big single turbo on E85.
Currently working on a one piece cowl that's completely slicked up, should look quite nice.

[AZhitman]

Awesome news... Looking forward to seeing the outcome!

After all the smack-talk on FB about this deal, I'll be surprised if we don't get some people coming over from the *cough lame cough* "other" Z forums to check out the results.

Or you could not even worry about switching them out an just buy a set of used ttops and get them paint matched then install the Cf panels. That way you have your original ttops and the CF tops.

Then install time would be less than a minute to switch back and forth.

Absolutely I will do it first thing in the morning. Everyone loves Z related polls.

[TTkickedin]

These are really interesting pieces of work! What's the weight savings like over the stock glass?
