Now that I'm making bumpers, would anyone be interested in a combination bumper/spoiler? What I'm thinking is joining a C/F bumper with a C/F Kamie spoiler making them one peace. I would use a 68/73 bumper with or without signals and reshape the spoiler a bit. I also want to add vents and maybe lights to the spoiler, what do you think good idea, bad idea, anyone interested???

I'm thinking good idea if you use a Kevlar mix? Wouldn't the CF crack when a curb or somthing is hit? How many ply? How thick? CF is just to rigid to flex isn't it?

The bumpers are about .100 thick I could make the spoiler a little thinner. I was thinking of shortening the spoiler about an inch at the bottom and adding a replaceable rubber lip, kind of like a scraper. Do you think that would work?

I'm so in on that :) what would be sweet.

I would like to see a kamei spoiler copy that would work on early cars. Mines a 61' .

You are?

That's great news.

I have some planning and replanning to do.

Yes, I have the molds for 74/79 bumpers and I'm working on a set of 68/73 I'm not sure if anyone would want early C/F bumpers.

Bullyboy,
I'll look into it.

I'm also working on the molds for C/F bumper brackets for 68/73 bumpers.

Like I said to you before I would be interested especially since it would utilize the 68-73 bumper size. You have email Joe!!

I'd like to see the combo myself. I could dig that.

I assume that means kevlar-carbon is possible, too.

Also, would a genuine Kamei spoiler and driving lights be able to bolt on?

Yes, kevlar-carbon is possible. As fore the lights, I'd like to get everyone's ideas and opinions on what would be the best lights to use.

Quick question for ya. I've got 3"+ wider front fenders on my 72 super and would love to get a combo bumper/spoiler but I'm kind of a one off deal. How hard is is to cut and splice CF? Take your bumper and add 6-7" in the middle of it to clear fenders/tires and generally be more effective.

oasis January 17th 2007 11:25

Thanks for the responses and the info. This is great news indeed.

I will send a personal e-mail as my ideas are not likely to be the same as the consensus.

volkdent January 17th 2007 15:28

I would LOVE some early CF bumpers! What sort of time frame and costs?

Jason
