Since you asked, looks like a well built piece, not a fan of carbon fiber personally - but they look good. I'm sure it will spark some intrest.

Look nice. Hopefully you have some other c/f on the car and or under the hood so they don't look out of place.

Cool man....:woot:

They need a machined end rather than heims IMO. I love all of Matt's other stuff though.

Mike,

Thanks! I think you're right, a machined end would look cool, but I would have to double the price. I buy the rod ends in bulk, and, since they are a regular production item, are not nearly as expensive as a custom machined part. We may do a high end version later, but the bulk of this market seems to be in the "affordable" range.

:woot: is right! Thanks for the tip-off, John. :thumbsup:

Now if I had the spare cash, a CF header panel/hood/cowl from Anvil would be on order as we speak... :unibrow:

Our '69 rear spoilers are in stock. We finally have production going on the 1st and 2nd gen trunk lids. I know I've been saying 2 months for awile, but now I can say 2 months and we should have more trunk lids redy to ship. We are working on a front spoiler/air dam which is in the pattern stage. I wanted to do something different than just molding a stock one and making it in carbon fiber, so we are making a wrap around affair that will give a custom look as well as be made of carbon fiber. The stock ones always get crushed anyway (especially for lowered cars), so who wants to spend good money on a cf unit just to have it crack or get scraped. Ours will be a bit shallower, but with an extension on the bottom that can be replaced if it gets messed up. The stock ones are not very heavy anyway, so if you want to lower your center of gravity, you might as well cut down the weight up higher on the car (like a hood, trunk lid, etc.) I figure if you want a carbon fiber spoiler just for the look, then you might as well have something that gets attention from a distance while still looking like it belongs on the car, which is our goal.
