FC3S: Aero Parts Part I
Hey Guys,
My name is Ken and I am a sales rep for Shine Auto Project, Inc, which is a composite manufacturing company based in Ontario, California. We specialize in rare JDM style aero parts. To make a long story short....we look for the good stuff and make them readily available to U.S consumers.
I can be contacted at ShineAutoProject@Gmail.com
and can also be reached at my AIM screen name, which is ShineProjectKen.
We are definitely a new and fresh vendor on this forum and would like to establish a long-lasting relationship with it's members.
If you guys haven't already seen our ebay ads..........I will begin to list items we currently offer for the FC3S Rx7.
Before I begin, I would like to elaborate on a special material that we use for our FRP Aero Parts.
We construct most of our aero parts with a material we call, "Hybrid FRP." The name and the development of the material was inspired by a Japanese Aero kit company that goes by the name Ings+1. They call their special material, "Hybrid Aero." The details of what goes into this material and how it is formulated will not be discussed. What will be discussed are the features and benefits of choosing this material for your aero parts.
Our Hybrid FRP is basically a flexible composite construction. It is fiberglass, but flexible. The reason why we believe this to be the ideal material for aero parts is because it allows parts to be made "light," which is a feature highly sought after among racing enthusiasts. There's a saying...."You can always have too much horsepower, but you can never be too light." Whether you guys agree with this or not, that's up to you. Composite parts can be very strong if the right materials are used as well as the right techniques used in constructing it. Flexibilty helps in absorbing impact, which is ideal for daily-driven cars, as well as aid in fitment and look, since there is "play" for adjustment. Another important thing to remember....once composite parts are fully cured, they don't shrink or warp. They are considered "thermosets," which means the shape of the part "sets." Urethane parts do indeed warp and shrink from high heat because they are "thermoforms," which means they can form into another shape using heat (thermo.)
Here are a few detailed product demo pics......
Enough about the material........here comes the good stuff......

awesome stuff, they look like they are well made and super-flexible, very important for front end parts and sideskirts! I hope to buy some sideskirts and rear valences for my FC soon, too bad its so close to christmas, I have way too many bills right now! nice looking products, keep 'em coming!
you guys make such nice fiberglass parts, is there any chance you will make a blockoff plate or gauge pod for the emergency light cluster on the top center of the dash of FC's?

How long do you think people will continue to steal other peoples ideas and hard work? How long do you think the top Japanese companies will continue to produce these parts for the public if they are only going to be ripped off by cheap asses? If you are so skilled with FRP why dont you creat some original parts? Oh that might take an ounce of creativity so I guess that rules your biten asses out.
Cheaper is not always better.
