fs - location: CAN: madrig cf parts thread

I haven't been on here in quite some time. Between work, building and selling my 05 sti to buy my e39 m5 and now dumping money into go fast parts for my s4 but but ill be damned if all this carbon fiber fire doesn't make me dive headfirst back into my wagon build. Someone offered to buy it off me yesterday for what I paid for it and I told him to come on by but now I'm having second thoughts leaning towards keeping it. Gaahhhh:spin:

Keep it! I promise you will miss it dearly if you get rid of it.

I don't know what the deal is with copying and what not legal wise, but it would be great to have some of these k2 pieces in a USDM fitment carbon fiber! If there's an ever so slight variation in shape though that might be enough to avoid any headaches.

need the part, make a mold, make some parts, make enough money to cover the costs.

 

madrig has offered, in the past, to dupe parts if you ship them to him. idk what his work schedule is now, but a pm to him will get you answers

it would be nice to have another carbon fiber lip with a 3rd brake light after I messed mine up. Though I am tempted to pm about a red carbon fiber hood scoop.

Now I'm thinking I need to jdm convert anyway because I picked up a set of the headlights... What all needs to be converted front end wise to use the jdm headlights. Might gladly pick up a k2 bumper if I have to at this point.

For post-facelift 4th Gen's you would need jdm fenders for jdm headlights to fit

I think I read that the jdm headlight is slightly smaller contour in that area? Would they fit without necessarily sealing well because of gap in the interim until I can get some?

How interested would people be in an integrated rear garnish for the wagon? I like the cleaner lines of parts that are one-piece and not stuck-on like the attached.

I'd be down for one! Been wanting to order one but have it molded. Would love one that was a full replacement and didn't have that "stuck on" look.

that sounds interesting? Are you working with madrig on it?

I haven't but I'd like to see if I can stir up enough interest for him so it's not just a one-off.

I would be down for one. I have been toying the idea of getting mine molded for a while now.

I'm a bit confused. Is what yall are talking about different than the jdm waist spoiler trim?

It would be the same, but one integrated piece instead of a stick-on. The JDM waist spoiler trim is a stick-on.

I could have sworn I've seen them fully molded. But in that case yes absolutely. Especially if I don't have to have that little chrome blob. I'm just broke so doubt I could go in on a pre order. I'd be guessing $350+

Intersting. I wonder what the a GB cost would look like for it in CF

I think the carbon spoiler is $350? Maybe that's the fiberglass one. I know he stays busy and from what I've seen, we'd need to get him an example for a mold. He may be able to use his own garnish for that if we can get a waist spoiler. But I'd think the best chances of getting it done would be a group purchase.

I wanna say it's $390 for a fiberglass spoiler, but now I'm unsure if that is in CAD or USD lol.

For all of you, check the hood scoop thread in 05-09 pictures for a new parts update!

I've updated the parts "catalog" in post #1.

 

The waist spoiler is being discussed as well as an edm console option. if you are interested...

INterested in Waist spoiler whenever available.

HEY HEY HEY!!!

 

Don't you know some of us are trying to keep the mods addiction in check over here. You have to go posting all of these fancy bits.

 

But in all seriousness thanks for posting these links for the community in one place as someone who is for all intents and purposes spending way more than I should on this car this is very tempting.

 

Question to the man himself, your carbon parts are they UV stable? I am guessing you are either using a UV stable resin, or some kind of top coat (something like duratech's sunsheild https://www.fibreglast.com/product/Duratec_Sunshield).

Lastly, for the EDM console parts is a mat finish an option, I like CF but for interiors I find the high gloss finish to be a little too much for my taste, I prefer a more understated appearance.

Idk if madrig is up for a gb kind of thread as his stuff has a limited audience ($$$). I'll collate responses and send to him. The edm console is probably money, and the waist spoiler/wing is a but stalled at the moment (no one has asked for the same configuration).

 

note: I don't speak for madrig or have any influence on what he makes, when and how. Just a collector of unique items like the rest of you.

 

note2: his process and product are of top-quality given the number of ppl who mounted the "raw" exterior parts over the last several years. Hearsay only. Ask Gunnar, as he has his wing along time.
