Custom Carbon Components and ccubed are one and the same.

Although I have heard and seen some great results from them, I have also been involved with a project that wasn't delivered particularly well by them, disappointingly as their workmanship appears to be great for some clients.

Topstage here in Melbourne do fantastic carbon work. They've just opened up a new shop, and look to be doing a heap of work on GT3, Sports Sedans and other top race cars: http://www.topstage.com/

Freddy the owner is a great guy to boot :P

Front lips in carbon do look good, but not really practical at all in my opinion. Very expensive part to damage considering it will be the first thing to go if you misjudge a driveway/come off the track etc Nothing beats rubber!

I'd only run a fancy lower lip if you have a nice sturdy undertray snuggled in behind the return of the lower lip.

I run a custom one layer (yes, 1) fibreglass GTR style front bar on mine and it's weak as piss on its own, but quite sturdy once supported by the alloy undertray.

You can still easily chip the extreme lower edge of the lip, and it will stick out like you know what on carbon.

..... just sayin.

At least it's not so noticeable on fibreglass as it would be on carbon. I thought about one for the STi but went for the factory option lip instead and it's much nicer. It is however cracking the paint on the front bar in some spots from the forces put against it, but I can live with that.

I accidentally tapped a gutter when parking one day, and ended up with a few scrapes on it. If it was carbon it would have been destroyed!

agree on the carbon lip thing though. I have 3/4 of an R32 GTR carbon front lip at home that proves the theory. the other 1/4 is somewhere in the infield at eastern creek if anyone wants to fetch it for me.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
