Is there a demand for 04-05 inner fender plastic covers?

[BaLisTek]

Sup guys, I am kinda wanting to experiment with silicone caulk and xylene as a thinning agent. SO..... I have my set of plastic 04-05 inner fender covers. I looked online and cheapest you are going to find these bad boys from majestic is at 73.62 a side which is crazy to justify.

here is the link, part number 20.

Is it a stupid idea to make a mold for these? Is this even a valuable item for 02-03 guys? Give me your opinions.


EDIT: I might have used confusing terms for this product. Its actually called fender garnishes. here is a pic of my items

I actually need to replace the inner fender liners on my '02, they are kind of chewed up. Is there a difference between the '02-'03 and the '04-'05?

[BaLisTek]

Hey lucid, sorry bout the confusion but I am referring to a different piece, I just posted a picture of what I am talking about

[ttttrigg3r]

where do these go?

[BaLisTek]

where do these go?

I updated first post with pics showing with and without

[Coldth1]

make them cf/kevlar and u got something here bud. this will be a must for all the guys tucking there bays

[Passenger]

That'd be cool

[Siborg]

it made a world of difference when I added these to my 03, i love them ;)

[Lucid Moments]

Ah, those. Yea I don't really see any need for them on my car. On a car that was more show they would be cool though.

[CuStOmMaDe]

those look great id love to have some because i get rocks and all kinds of stuff in my bay having no splash guards

[thisisagame24]

i second the carbon fiber ones ron...... now get to work. ill test fit your first pair :mwink:

[BaLisTek]

I will try to start making a mold this week. See if i can make just a plastic one to start with

[johnkimble]

experimenting with caulk....

haha

i'd be down if they weren't all wavy and stuff.

[BaLisTek]

nah it wont be wavy.. im making a direct copy

[Jukka]

i want a set, but dont wanna pay the stupid amount that honda wants for them. If you make a set/sell em, id buy. Would hide my HID balast and igniter perfectly.

[Allamon13]

id be in with a reasonable price

[BaLisTek]

im pushing back the mold making till following week. I just got me a job interview on thursday... gonna be preparing to impress. So, this will be pushed back a few days

[BaLisTek]

small update guys: just wanted to show that I didn't give up on project. I ran out of modeling clay so I have to go pick up some more. I waxed down the part and I'm starting to build walls around the part so I don't have any undercuts and it will also make the part stay solid in its natural position

here are some pics of the process

As you can see... i have bout another hour or so of getting the clay all around and perfect... but slow and steady is how I like to roll. HOpe people are still interested

[ttttrigg3r]

It looks like shit so far. just kidding i have no idea what the process involves. but i'm interested if the product is good and doesnt cost 75$. hope you get it done soon.

its cool man. I need to fasten down each side to keep it from raising. I thought the clay would hold enough. ALso, I am doing what is called a transition mold. Im gonna make a mold.. pull a copy and that will be my new master part. I want to sand my master part till bout 1000grit and I am not gonna do that to my stock parts.

A pair of just black plastic like OEM will be cheaper than 75bux, however I can't accurately judge a CF or kevlar piece till I see what my overhead is.

$75 doesnt seam like a lot to me..maybe its just me though.. this would be one of those ideal mods to spice up your engine bay into a more high performance look.
