Hard-core CEG'er
im working with a guy who will be repping for True Forged on a corvette board and some others as well. he also wants to have custom hoods and bumpers made to sell on the forums as well, as TF products. they will mostly be custom made parts. typically knock off parts that have been changed up a bit and made with high quality materials, for less. i said that it sounded good and was thinking up doing so with the mustangs and Lightnings as well.
he has MUCH experience doing this as a forum vendor before (which is why i chose to do business with him). he knows the people at Extreme Dimensions pretty well and has prior business dealings with them. he has had them make custom molds for products before and had GREAT SUCCESS, lol, doing some group buys on the forums.
then i was thinking about doing some stuff for the contours too. what about if we had a custom made front contour bumper made?? the stock bumper with a Mirko, MOLDED IN?? ONE PIECE?! and not just out of crappy fiberglass that breaks easily but using Extreme Dimensions new flexible plastic/fiberglass material they have

i have a Mirko and csvt bumper and take the parts there to have a custom mold made. if i pay for the mold entirely, than i get the exclusive rights to it (NO other dealers). if we can get enough people together to order one, we could get this done at a price that is great for everyone! i wouldnt be looking to do this for a profit. there just isnt a big enough contour market. id be happy to get a free bumper out of it and maybe a 2nd one to donate for SZ.
would anyone be interested in this?? :shrug: i dont know how much it would cost at the moment but i DO know that the Mirko alone is damn expensive and is about as durable as a Frito Lay potato chip. :blackeye:
any other parts anyone would be interested in? maybe an exact replica of a pre98 trunk? (integrated spoiler) made out of cf.. i know Todd tried to get something going with this before with Carbonfx but it kind of died out. i know that Extreme can take two pieces and made one out of the two. this is what my vette rep plans to do. take a custom bumper and spoiler (or something like that) and make a 1 piece out of them, for about HALF the price of what they sell for seperately.
anywho, just throwing it out there. what are your guys' thoughts?
