Paul Laing Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Just spotted this while on supraforums, not sure on price etc but would look great on a black Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 just IMHO n 2p, i would guess this would fit better with a car that has the same design CF bonnet and rear wing (a la TRD) ? o'wise, just that panel in the middle of the roof may look a bit odd ?

Rob Davey Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 This is an age old thread but does anyone know if you can buy these carbon aero tops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Not sure if you can yet - search Supraforums and you'll soon find the thread about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 It came to nothing IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Davey Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Damn but they look soooo good. Could have been a great time for me to get one. Was it home made or something then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I believe it was a one off and the guy was looking to do a group buy and get more done etc. but nothing came of it. I'll try to dig out the thread and refresh my poor old memory if I get time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I could probably get them made if there was enough interest, oh and I had a spare aerotop to make a mould from . My only worry would be that the flexing of the car could cause the joint of the upper and lower mouldings to crack if not very strong and rigid.

Matt Harwood Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 My only worry would be that the flexing of the car could cause the joint of the upper and lower mouldings to crack if not very strong and rigid. I agree. The aeros really can flex without the roof panel on, but they're a lot more solid with the roof panel in place, so they must be able to take a fair bit of stress.

Ian W Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 i know it's been talked about a fair bit that a lot of c/f applications are actually backed which makes them heavier. this may well be one of the cases where you could use a backing for strengthening and the c/f just for aesthetics.

Alex Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 DRY Carbon will be way lighter. But wet carbon that's done in a bag might not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm sure it'd be a challenge to make one that didn't leak as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hummm..... would be nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Davey Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm sure it'd be a challenge to make one that didn't leak as well. As long as it was a good copy the rubber seals would just stick on as normal, so it may not be too much of a mission... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
