I doubt it will be an issue because this grille will be completely aftermarket. The main shell should be all one piece (no patch jobs), regardless of the material used.

I just went to visit my friend's company today and he just mail out the sample via air mail today. he said most likely he will make 100 pieces for us.

If it sell well and he thinks solara market is worth a try. he is thinking about make 3 piece rear spoilers or roof spoiler. 3 pieces soiler will look like this

(GP sports style), but be honest with you, i doubt it wil happen.

another good news is that he is getting an account with Enkei wheels, so i will help him to set up a group buy here later.

turbosolara did you find out how much this grille is going to cost or is that still up in the air?

sounds pretty stupid to do this, we should just see if we can get the gen 1 grille first before we try to get a CF grille

The price still up on the air because we dont know how much is it to invest molding. and i agree with above, to create competition will not do good. The worst result is that both of them dont sell well and you have two companies give up the solara market.
