Brian,
If we have the awr fender flares and but want the CF front end is it possible to mount the flares on it?

Or better yet. Would it possible to have the flares built in to the front end? How about some rear fenders w/flares built in too?

Thanks for checking Brian. The cost is high, indeed, but arguably worth it. Does the possibility for a polyurethane type construction exist? Like motorcycle bodywork?

Hi George, Yes, could do the nose with the flares built in. Can do carbon fiber or fiberglass...not urethane.

so if I already have the fiberglass flares I can rivet it onto the CF front end just like how I would install them if I had the OEM front (cut and rivet)?

Yes, though you could get rid of the rivets and simply glass the flares into the carbon nose.

I see I see....nice to know
another possible part on the list

Great first day on track with the new project. It goes like stink, it turns......it just doesn't yet brake like I want it to. Playing around with the bias some but we need more master cylinder or less from caliper.

Brian,

Do you monitor underhood temps at all? Any difference with the one piece?

Did you ever consider venting when you were modeling the CF nose?

Last one, was there a reason you chose the OEM nose as opposed to the Mazdaspeed nose for this project?

Car looks (and evidently runs) great. (Big pat on the back )

Howdy Brian,

What size 6ULs are those? Or are they PF-1s? Have you been running a hardtop? Furthermore, what rear bumper are you running on that bad boy?

Brian,

I believe the wheels on the car are the new Enkei PF01s. Is that correct? If so, what size are they, and what weight? Thanks.

[Brian]

They are 18x9.5 PF01 45mm. Weight about 20 pounds...not as light as RP-F1 in same fitment but they were the only light choice that cleared the brakes that we had available.

Our problem was not getting warm enough. Had to start taping up the grille to get engine temps up to acceptable levels. We already have a car with the Mazdaspeed nose, and mold already existed for the factory nose.
