Okay fellas heres the story.

I have been in the mix with two guys who initially stated that they can mass produce my flares in Carbon and Fiberglass.. they had my flares for 10 months making molds of them.. next thing you know they had a falling out between each other last month and went separate ways with the money guy stating he owns the molds and the guy who fabs them(the money guy cant make them himself).. Im not worried that the money guy will produce them behind my back as he stated he would sign a contract that he wouldn't.. plus he knows what my conglomerate can do here.

Now im at my wits end with this..

I have been seeking a RELIABLE source to produce my flares FOR ME to sell.. just to manufacture.
most of the other guys I talk to want a part of it.. and im not down for that.. I just need a manufacturer.
Im not going to add my flares to the lineup of someone else's fiberglass and carbon parts so **** that.
I have been working on these flares for 5 years now and its almost getting ridiculous..

As I am trying to make a "Street fighter aero kit" to offer to those wanting the same look as what my camaro looks like.

SO..

Does anyone know of a reliable/professional/timely fiberglass carbon manufacturer within a 300 mile radius of ATLANTA that isnt going to charge insane startup to make these happen.



please let me know if yall can help.

Vengeance from one of your biggest fans, hang in there. What comes easy, won't always last, and what will last, won't always come easy.. I as many other love what your doing so keep at it man. When its all said and done it will be worth it. If I ever want to widen my wheel again Ill definitely be looking for a set..

RKSport does private label fiberglass for small vendors in the Corvette market. The parts are made to order by RKSport and shipped directly to the customer, but they will not accept direct orders for the private label products. Might be an option for you, but they are in CA and I'm not sure if they do carbon.

Look up the guy on 67-72chevy truck forum that is making SloshTubz. They are front fenderwells made for aired out trucks with big wheels. I know he devloped them and is having them made local to him. I think he is in either GA or TN. I'd look it up for you but that site is blocked from my office right now (damn websence!!)

I don't have anything constructive to add. I just wanted to say...man, that car looks tough! Gives me chills everytime I see it.

Hang in there--the world needs more of that kind of goodness.

People often warn me that some of my better ideas may get stolen, hope that doesn't happen to you. Not that fender flares for a Camaro is a new idea or product, but you made some that both easily attach & look good. That hasn't existed before for the 1 st gens that I know of.
I can say it would be a lot harder to find a shop to do quality carbon fiber also. Many of the body kit guys such as the studamino & easy rods switched to having their kits produced in mexico. Many big name companies such as US Body source have individual fiberglass shops make their stuff. AAA fiberglass here in Jacksonville makes theirs now, quality not so good. There is one place a few miles off I-95 golfair exit in Jacksonville you might contact for fiberglass only. Gary at fast glass is very knowledgeable, taught me quite a bit, Helped me with a few small items off my molds before in a timely fashion between their production. Quality was not a complaint. They mainly do commercial, not car stuff, but it's worth a check if you can't find better. Haven't personally spoken to him in a while, but he'd remember the black el camino the way it looked a few years back.

Rauh-Welt would be proud! I dig it.

I have a guy in Florida that I was talking to about making plastic door panels and other items by Vacuum Forming, and he was very reasonable and eager to work.. I would be happy to share that info with you, if you have considered making them out of a moulded plastic? Most of the exterior parts are done that way today, and it is very durable.. Just let me know, and I will dig up his information for you..
