Bradinnes Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Maybe I'm slow...but what's a Ratsun FBI group? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Probably face book, but I wouldn't know. :blush: Quote Link to comment
cdub42 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Facebook. It's good for a quick ratsun fix. Little easier to personally connect with doods. Quote Link to comment

DaBlist Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Remember, some (probably a lot) of us us hang out at Ratsun because we don't have the budget to fit in anywhere else. Might be good to list potential prices and get some feel back Quote Link to comment
Homeboyx Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I wonder how much a CF S30 shell would go for.. :w00t: +1 on not knowing there was a Ratsun FB! :hug: Quote Link to comment
Carbon Fiber Parts Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 here are those pictures i promised we are legit. we are not using the company to produce any of these items but doing it our selves i know it seemed skeptical with out pic but i have some i cannot show any other as they are classified sorry any questions just ask. Thanks Ratsun Quote Link to comment
BenJammin Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thanks Dawa I forgot that. Had someone p/m me about a seller that suggested GIFT to save fees. If a seller suggests this think twice if legitimate. I've suggested that before but I've been around here for awhile. Although it would be very unwise to gift money to a newb. As for selling stuff on eBay, or using PayPal for other transactions.. methinks they're being a bit piggish these day, especially when you consider eBay owns PP. As for the threadstarter... sounds fishy to me, and think about the complexity of a whole shell of any vehicle and how expensive that would be... it's been done several times on one-off prototypes, but probably for no less than $50K (and that one Lexus CF supercar - for over $300 grand !), and we all know the story of how copper wire was invented here on Ratsun. Get the hooks out of your lips. B) Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yeah, seriously. The final value fees are ridiculous, plus they're charging a % on shipping too, plus the paypal fees. Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Why is it after two minutes on Google I can find a not dissimilar image to the one posted above, and which when following the link below it resolves to a Chinese address. Your calls guys and gals but I call shennanigans on this one. The syntax used by the OP is just a little too out of wack for me as well. Also, I can tell you from a looooonnnnngggg time working with Government "stuff", you NEVER mention you cant show things cause they are classified. http://www.google.com.au/search?q=chevrolet+cruze+carbon+fibre+bonnet&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=_czMUeO3MaaRiAKo_YD4BQ&ved=0CC0QsAQ&biw=1680&bih=933#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=s0Md4OUNvVj39M%3A%3Bcj--1BTr6WIwYM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi01.i.aliimg.com%252Fimg%252Fpb%252F877%252F850%252F526%252F526850877_410.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.alibaba.com%252Fproduct-gs%252F672001041%252FOEM_style_carbon_fiber_hood_for.html%3B800%3B800 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 That picture is not the same... Not saying you're off base, but the pics are definitely not the same. Quote Link to comment

Ratwagon1600 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 That picture is not the same... Not saying you're off base, but the pics are definitely not the same. Agreed mate, I am implying the look similar, not saying categorically they are. It's an individual's call whether they want to follow up on this, I strongly suggest that unless the OP comes up with a lot more detail, or someone purchases an item from these guys and gets it, caution should be used. I'm happy to stand corrected, though, this smells fishy to me. Quote Link to comment
Carbon Fiber Parts Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 i will start making carbon fiber parts on one of my vehicles and a friends and actually follow up on a local purchase to insure to everyone this is real not fake. i will contact a couple members i know to see if they are interested so they can tell you first hand.Time to get started...

Carbon Fiber Parts Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 also they might look similar but are not by any means look at the pattern of the material it is clearly wrong but hey i understand how you feel. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 A word of advice... in the future if you branch away from Datsuns, I would advice you to sign up to new sites with parts already made. Its going to be hard to get anyone to jump on your bandwagon when no one knows who you are and you have no parts to show for it. If you came here with something to show other than some tiny Chevy Cobalt pictures more people would believe you. I hope this works out for those here interested in CF, but with the past experience this forum has had with introductions like this... Im not going to hold my breath. Quote Link to comment
Carbon Fiber Parts Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks for the advice will do Quote Link to comment

FlyinPat Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 What about some flares? Apparently all the other individuals making them suck at life. Plus, they can be used on multiple vehicles. Personally, I'm a 620 guy, you're a 620 guy so make a replacement valance with a spoiler built in. Or maybe some fenders without side marker holes. Quote Link to comment

Busta Nut Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Shenanigans!!! If I was trying to sell some shit I was making, I would take some high as fuck res oics so that people could see the detail of my work......not a pic I took with my razor phone. .......but that's just me, I guess. I apologize if I'm being harsh.............but I don't believe shit till I see it. It's true when they say "A picture is worth a thousand words".........................................................women prefer the words :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment

Ratwagon1600 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 And........, in addition to my previous harsh statement, if the OP is jenyouwine, how about some links to some other posts where they have advertised their products? Quote Link to comment
BenJammin Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Maybe one day soon we will get to 100% CF shell repros with 3D printing technology ! (but I don't think it's going to be happening on this thread :sleep: ) Quote Link to comment
