View Full Version : Carbon cooling panels- kouki's

Hi guys. First my apologies to all the moderator if I'm posting this in the wrong section. Second, this is not a for sale thread but to see if there's enough interest on a cooling panels for our cars, way cheaper than the Garage defend. I know this has been covered before regarding the Renova cooling panel aka garage defend copy. I know I can't see myself spending 350 plus shipping. Before I make any commitment doing a group buy, soon I'll be posting the actual item and quality. I'll make another thread later on to start a group buy. I just wanted to see if kouki members would be interested on this. Again, my apology to all the moderators.

Finally, I'm in sir! Zenki preferably though.
I can make them if necessary
Probably around $100 - $120 dollars complete carbon fiber.
Just a rough estimate.

I am interested if there is one for pop up front that looks like the Garage Defend one. (covers pretty much the whole radiator support)

Replicas have some fitment issues and to be quite truthful it's a pain in the ass when you want to work on anything under it. More so for people like me that have hood pins.

Sorry to be off topic but "diffuser", where can I see that and how much? Regarding the cooling panels I'm down if the quality and price is good although those two word are impossibly synonymous,lol!!

04-12-2011, 03:53 PM
You can find them on Alibaba.
I already started on these.
We mapped out everything and the rnd is almost done.
Quick question:
1) full cover or half cut
2) logos or no logos or the removable logo option
3) Fiberglass and CF or just carbon fiber
prices will vary - fiberglass will be cheap.
4) Sheet metal?
5) Is there anything specific you guys want added?
I would like to see mass population agreements over individuals since If I were to make them I want them to actually sell
lets get the ball rolling and I can have a lot out and made in about 30 days
Right now as the owner of 9K Racing, I hit a half way point in where I want my company to go.
I will stop innovating new S chasis parts due to the limited sales for S chasis owners..
Give me a list of the 5 top things you guys want made and we will start on it before I throw in the towel for car specific items.
This doesn't mean I won't stop selling my dmax style roof wings, and other parts already produced. It just means I won't be going out of my way to create things that won't be worth it to make.
I have the diffusers on my car already, but due to the economy it's hard for me to make an item and have no one pay up for one.
If I can get promised payments or cash agreements I WILL MAKE ANY ITEM. So if I were to make any of the items you want listed, it will be made via GROUP BUY.
We originally produced 9K racing items in order to let ourselves,friends and the S chasis community to run legit parts without breaking the bank.
Our motto and following will still be directed to the community, but we are looking to expand to EVERY forum/car venue possible in order to grow.
Since you are the customer, tell me what to do and lets do work.

9k any pics on the rear diffuser? I am willing to send payment as soon as you have them in stock. I suggest for you to make a thread as a "group buy" so you have an idea more of less of how many diffuser's to make that people will for sure buy.
sidewaysil80
04-13-2011, 01:53 PM
to 9k racing: if you make a zenki full cover frp one i will send payment now. carbon is nice and all but personally it's not my thing and i would wind up painting it anyway. i think a bunch of people feel the same so frp would be a choice to make as well. what are eta's for these things...any sketches or rough drafts?

Drftr915
04-13-2011, 07:56 PM
Just to help and give you an idea we should just start a group buy list. I think based upon how many people show interest and what they are looking for should help you determine how much you want to charge. Most people already know about the carbon fiber one on negun so hopefully their pricing will be taken into consideration. I think it's dumb to even consider sheet metal, if you want one and thats what your looking for hear there already produced for extremely cheap. I think you should make FRP and carbon fiber ones. Logo or no logo, either way it's pretty bad ass that you are willing to make something like this for us s14 guys, i don't mind rocking a 9k gold/silver stick or logo on it.

ahhh, gotcha. well hopefully he's still a stand up guy if i end up buying a cooling panel from him.
blue, looks like you've been looking for a cooling panel for quite some time now, hah. you said at one point you were gonna import some, did that fall through?
i guess our options right now are either PM'ing c-unit (i don't know if he still has these), or emailing 9k, right?
blueshark123
11-12-2011, 10:29 AM
Yea i was planning on importing them from the same people that 9k got them from, but i had to buy like 5 of them to get a good deal on it like 9k did he ordered like 10 or so.
I was going to sell it at the same price of 9k at 180 shipped each. I just didnt want to deal with the problem if any broke during shipping so i decided not to go this route.
In the end it would have been alot of work for just to come out with a free panel for myself so i decided to just get it from 9k instead for only 180
Oh also c-unit wanted around 210 or more per panel and i think 180 for just fiberglass last time i heard and the wait to get them was to long since he had to order them also

bring up a semi old thread but i have the s14 kouki cooling panel mold done and now available.
If I can get 5 people to sign up at 150 dollars each I will make the mold for any of the s chassis(for the first 5 only).
