Lightbulb Forte 5 Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser!

edit: Visit the poll and cast your votes.
POLL: Which CF Parts Would You Like Made For The Forte?

Who wants one?!
My friend owns a shop in Monrovia CA, and he said if there is enough interest he will make us a carbon rear diffuser for the hatch.

So reply if you are interested and if we can generate enough interest I'll ask him exactly what the price would be.

Let the drooling of other cars begin.

Only for the 5 right now. We have access to Koups and Sedans but seeing that others are already making it we haven't talked about it. If we can beat the price we will probably make them. There is also talk of a carbon spoiler for the 5 but that's a secret.

What would be nice is if we had a slightly longer and more shaped spoiler like that of the STI. I wonder if theirs could be made to fit?

Well we are trying to make a WRX competitor so we might be able to extend the length. But we are focussing on the diffuser right now.

Kinetics isn't an actually CF Diffuser. It is just coated in a special CF Application to give it the look.

Anyone interested in a carbon front lip?
I've only been able to find ABS Carbon lips.

Just give me ideas on parts you guys would like to see and I'll pitch them. =]

That is a sexy carbon kit!

Fortunately the sedan and hatch have the same front bumper so you'll be good!

BTW, how do I add a pole to this thread?

I love the sequence kit. I don't understand why they only make a front lip for the koup but the side skirts for both the sedan & koup.

Also does anybody know if side skirts for the sedan will fit the 5? the sides seem identical i haven't gotten up close to a sedan to compare.
