gauging interest: Carbon Fiber Door Pillars for s13

[derrick]

Hi guys, i'm just trying to gauge some interest from the s13 guys for Carbon Fiber Door Pillars. They will be a cf piece that will cover that black strip in the middle top of the side of your car. basically right between your window and the triangular glass that says "240sx". it will be a highly glossy (imagine your cf hood) and top quality cf piece, will be easy to install, and will be in the $30 shipped range in terms of pricing. any input would definetely be appreciated, and if you have any other cf ideas please p m them to me (don't post em here i just want to gauge interest on this item) thanks guy!

1. Are these parts the same for the coupe as for the fastback?
2. Sounds like a really great idea.'
3. Is the carbon fiber real or carbon look?
4. Price is good also.
5. I'm interested and have money in hand as soon as theyre available.

Sounds iffy. The one I got replaces the plastic and is real cf.

I Would Buy Now!!! :) pulls 30$ out of my pocket

[derrick]

once i get my hands on a coupe (i've got a fastback i'm looking at today) i'll let you know if they are the same. even if they are different we will make them for both if there is enough interest.

the carbon fiber is real not a lookalike or sticker cf. trust me you will not be disappointed with the quality

[Demik]

i do not have pictures of the pillars on an s13 because they have not been manufactured yet, but here are a few pictuers of pillars we have made for the Nissan Maxima 5th Generation. They should give you an idea of what we plan on producing for the s13 if there is a good amount of interest. thanks!

the piece (B-pillar cover, btw) is the same on coupe and hatches.

so youre covering the plastic? or is it a full carbon piece?

[derrick]

it is a carbon fiber piece that covers the plastic piece, at least that's how we have done the other cars. getting my hands on an s13 hatch tomorrow to see what we will do for it. if you are interested and reading this thread please post to let me know, i want to make sure there is a good amount of interest here!!

Full replacement. No pasties

[derrick]

shinhed (sorry!!!) , great find! i guess this is a piece we can manufacture as a full replacement. the other cars we have manufactured this for do not have a fully replaceable door pillar. when we get our hands on to an s13 today we will take a look at it and see if we can make the full replacement. a note though, look at kaido sports price on it, $179 plus shipping We were intending to make the carbon fiber cover and charge around $30 shipped. so a question to the s13 drivers here that are interested in this product, are you willing to spend a little more $ to get a full replacement piece or less for the cover? whatever is in demand i am sure we can deliver. thank you!

I didn't get mines from Kaido but, the price was pretty close. I'd be down for a better deal.

The name is shinhed not skinhed :squint:

Import fan is also planning to sell them, they have been planning to for like a year now.

BN sports sale is going on at their homepage too.

[stretch240sx]

id be interested in getting them, IF they were a full replacement, not just a cover, ill pay the extra and get a replecment.

[lostyouth]

dunno, seems a little to close to the rice side for me now, MAYBE if it were a full replacement, but even still. count me out
