Default Who makes good carbon bits???

One of my good friends is looking to get a spoiler made for his skyline, well he wants someone to make the blade the same as the one that's on it at the moment. He was looking at a cusco one but it's about £300 and formwhat it is sounds a bit expensive. He's willing to remove it to get it copied.

Any ideas as to who he should ask folks?

Hello John,

for a company to use your mates spoiler to create a mould and then produce a part from this would be a tad more than £300.00 to say the least imo, lots of people doing carbon out there at the mo, some good and some no so good. people I would recomend is Performance trim and Carbon delight. I think P-trim may require a multiple order in the form of a group buy and phil at c-delight has a bit of a waiting list due to being extremely busy. Both companies do great work, just look at luca's and twins cars off here for examples of their stuff.

I hope this helps

carbon mods do separate nose cone/bonnets in carbon so a one piece item should be possible
