I plan to do this with the Jason Wyrick '73 and with my '69 as well which will be black for a carbon fiber ghost stripe look. The difficult piece for first gen is the filler panel between the back glass and deck lid since it is welded in place. It's screwed on for second gen, so no problem there. I would like to get a consensus about which header panel to make for the second gen first, standard or RS?

i say RS but thats cause i have an rs

also i think the rs one would sell more due to the fact that you see more aftermarket styled RS's over standards. after i read you post last night i went out to the garage real idea of it and was gonna bring up those exact two items. luckley they come out in thier own smaller pieces... very excited about your parts matt, i cant wait for your plethora of cf part!!! the problem with getting a consensus for the 2nd gen is that the early 2nd gens are just getting popluar some a high percentage of the owner (lots on nastz28.com) are old school... cheap...and not into the whole pt thing. not all just most.

It has me thinking about a lot of things. Any thoughts on CF front fenders for a 69 Camaro? How about a trickey lower valance with a cool looking splitter that would flow into those front fenders?

You could make stock style front fender extensions for a stock look and my lower valance/splitter idea could be one piece that would have the fender extensions molded in. That way one fender would work for both the stock look and the modified look.

Something like this or a variation would be cool....But not the head lights. Now the hood is way beyond cool. Can you do that?

I can't wait to see the Camaro with some carbon fiber parts on it. Just want to say the whole experience with selling my car to Matt was great. Matt handled the transaction very professionaly and is a stand up guy. I'm sure he will be turning out quality cf parts for the pt generation.

Payton King,

Very cool computer rendering! Who did it and which program did they use to generate it? I like the way the low profile cowl induction hood flows into the front header panel all the way through to the leading edge of the the car. Nice touch. I plan on doing custom parts very much like this next. I wanted to fill the market with the easiest and most popular parts first, then design some custom parts that are in keeping with the original car's design while adding a little spice as it were. The vents on the hood are very much what I had in mind, but a little further back on the hood right over the wheel arch. I've studied a little on arodynamics in race car applications and the air extractor vents on top of the body work (on closed wheel cars) are usually situated at the peak of the fender. There is a low pressure area there that sucks the air out from under the hood and neutralizes lift. I have a '96 Viper GTS and if you look at the vents on the Viper hood that is where they are located. I was thinking of air extractors on the side of the front fenders a' la Trans Am, but I think it might spoil the lines of the car and may not be as effective as the vents on the hood. I am also having my body shop weld the fender extensions on my '69 to the front valance to make it one piece so I can use it as a pattern inwhich to make a mold for CF parts. This could save a lot of weight while smoothing out the appearance at the same time. I am also working on a custom replacement for the front chin spoiler that extends wider than the stock one.

Not sure on the rendering. A company called Evolution Motorsports were developing a full CF body that they were going to put on a tube chassis. They had a website with this car and another one rendered. Not sure who did it. I have not heard from them in quite some time. They were out of Georgia. I could not find them the last time I did a search, but that does not mean alot coming from me.

I believe the guy was talking about putting a twin turbo motor in the car might be why the vents are up front as to get the hot turbo air out.

I thought about the side vents up high on the fenders as well.

Looking forward to your parts coming on line.

How about a cf hood for 70 chevelles . The stock ones are too short and the aftermaket ones are too high. The stock cowl hoods start too far into the middle of the hood. A Chevelle hood with a long cowl induction area that is slightly larger than stock would be incredible. Then we would not have to use the oversized 4" cowl hood.

OK everybody, our web site is finally up and running and ready to take orders. Now that pictures are up of the product, I would love to hear comments. We are putting together a gallery menu that will have more car pics as well as drawings and color renderings by me and some of my designers depicting concepts for future products. Eventually we will create a vote for your favorite concept area as well as allowing viewers to put up their own ideas and photos of their cars featuring our products.
For anybody in Southern Cali, I will be posting a list of cars that we need to use as "fit models" as it were, to test fit products that are in development. In return you will get free stuff!

Best, MaTT

Dear 70 chevelle,

We will eventually be doing hoods for Chevelles. I think your suggestion is a good one. What I would like to do is do some sketches on a few ideas and get feedback from the Chevelle crowd before we get into making a pattern.
My very first car was a '70 Chevelle, so they are close to my heart and still love the way they look. Even my wife likes them, and that's saying something!
