I'm glad this project is still going. You guys had me worried for a minute.

Toooo funny!! Thanks Marty! We did a little work on the wicker bill. Burn off the factory powder coating and gave it a brush and clear anodize finish. I's going to look killer with some Ring Brother stainless bolts and washers. Couple pics of the dry carbon roof Wait until you guys see what we are doing for a diffuser |

Here another little update: Just got word that our trans and diff cooler bracket is on its way. Because of the complexity of the multiple bends a normally breaker wouldnt do. We were trying to source a finger bender with no luck. Our friends at Derale source a company to bend it for us. |

Please tell me we don't have to wait until after SEMA 2015?

Doesn't a SEMA reveal kind of lessen the effect now? The 6th gen should be released and possibly shipping by then. Most people will be far more interested in the '16 than another 5th gen. Even if it is unlike any other one they have ever seen.

I just stumbled across this thread, and I have to say I'm floored. The level of craftsmanship, and the attention to detail are second to none. Assuming you have this at SEMA next year, it could be right beside a next gen SS and I'd still want to look at it. Keep it up, this is an incredible build.

I see a lot of people who were going to purchase these parts going after the OEM versions instead. I will still enjoy this build and respect what you brothers have done thus far, but I think this was a poor business decision on G5R's part.

Keep in mind we are just enthusiast like you. Another words most of what we do is just to help the community out. The only reason it has made any sense to bring any of these parts to market is because we are already doing them for G5R. We aren't doing this as a business as financially it would make sense. Just to give you an idea, we had only two 1LE guys get anything CF. As you can see it's a very small market! |

Well thanks for clearing that up Nathan. You got me all worked up for nothing! Lol. Like I said before, I appreciate what you guys have done for the community. I understand there's not a huge demand for some of these parts.
I'm glad you'll still be offering the spoiler. Will you be releasing the hood vent before sema? Sorry about my previous post. I took your post as you were delaying all of the z28 parts. Hopefully no hard feelings. Thanks for the quick response.
