Default Custom Carbon Fiber Fabricator

Hello All,

Was wondering if anyone has used, or know of, a local person or shop that can prototype me some carbon pieces?

I have the template etc.. I figured I would ask before attempting to do it myself due to time and experience constraints.


Thanks!

My co-worker's husband is a freelance remote control race car/boat/plane fabricator. He makes parts for hardcore guys around the country either in fiberglass or carbon fiber. I can ask him if you want, but I don't think it will be cheap though. He's located in Hillsboro.

Isn't (wasn't) there a company around here that was making carbon trunks and parts for the S2000? Vaguely recall seeing pictures of a trunk with a JDP style wing blended in around the US 26 / 217 ramps.

Might want to give Rothsport or PSI a call?

What a very bizarre coincidence, someone replied in the thread just now...

Thanks Brian, and it was nice catching up this past weekend. I think your contact might be too much of a niche for my application, therefore a costly option for me.

James, I did find those same shops through a quick Google search. I am leaning towards just picking up the materials and doing it myself at this point. For a sheet of carbon in size I need through them is $1200+ !!

If you do end up doing it yourself I wouldn't mind watching the process as I've always been interested in learning how to do it.
