Carbon Fiber Grips

**Flossabe** · 12-23-2004, 03:33 PM

The hyperframe grips should not be any problem at all, I have all of the first copys cut and redy ot laminate but I need to wait for room to be made in my heated shop so i can do the proper clearcoating otherwise it will turn out all foggy and not look correct. Ill keep you up dated.

**JoshK** · 12-23-2004, 03:37 PM

ok sounds sweet...please get some pics when done!

**Furby#1** · 12-23-2004, 05:18 PM

**nevets11_2003** · 12-23-2004, 05:54 PM

if youre ne where close to little rock i could come and localy pick some up..

**Flossabe** · 12-24-2004, 10:40 AM

It will be a little while before i do any wraparound grips with carbon, that takes a little difrent process of laying up, i am working on it but no promices,

I live in northwest arkansas, near Fayetteville, so you are about 4 hours or so.

**seekandestroy78** · 12-25-2004, 11:00 PM

ill take some lcd panels, depending on price ofcourse

**Sk8ermog** · 12-27-2004, 09:54 PM

hmmm... smoked hyperframe grips? I like... lol Honestly I'd really be interested in any kind of grips for the hyperframe. I just can't stand my nasty plastic panels right now so let me know when you get something ready to buy. Thanks.

**mobius** · 01-03-2005, 11:59 PM

Any more info on grips? I'm totally wanting some vert panels to fit my RPG Chimera frame.

**Flossabe** · 01-06-2005, 12:47 AM

Ill give some updates when i get back to the house, im kindof stuck in NY at the moment but i should be back in a week or so.

**Chris** · 01-06-2005, 01:10 AM

Keep me updated on those Emag grips...if you need a set of stock ones as a template, let me know.

**Flossabe** · 01-06-2005, 11:45 AM

i appricate the offer but i have my own micro e-mag,

**Temujin** · 01-06-2005, 01:54 PM

I'd like to get some E-Mag panels in Black, Silver, and Red. I don't know what the color choices you'll be offering. I'd like to still have the windows cut out as well. What's the possibility on those wraparounds and whether or not you can do something similar to the Sticky grips for the E & X panels? Let me know, I'm in the market for at least 4 pairs right now. I have other team members with Mags as well, so I may end up ordering more than that.

Oh by the way, does the carbon fiber grips make any difference on the weight? The plastic panels aren't that heavy to begin with, just wanted to see if this lightens up anything or is it more of a cosmetic choice?

**maglover728** · 01-11-2005, 07:53 AM

Any idea yet about the prices?

Just keep this previous attempt in mind.

The raw material is not cheap and can be a pita to work with.
The orange weave fiber frayed/burred in the runs he tried for Tuna and myself and he wouldn't keep wasting money on raw product.

Custom is neither fast nor cheap keep in mind.

**azzkikr** · 01-11-2005, 03:44 PM

i'm intersted, so count me in

**Flossabe** · 01-11-2005, 07:41 PM

I am back home now and i am waiting on an epoxy company to give me coverage area per gallon of there clear coating epoxy so i can give an accurate price, yea fraying is always a problem with laminating carbon, i have delt with it for a while, I get dealer cost on the fabric so that helps me out a little should have a price in a day or two.

**Flossabe** · 01-13-2005, 11:26 AM

I can get a set of e-mag grips out for $26.00, that is both panels, with drilled and counter sunk holes and the display window cut out, all clear coated so the carbon looks sweet. Expect a very close price if not the same on the hyperframe grips i just have to get a pair to set a copy off of.
any vert grips i am still working on, price may be a little higher but not sure yet, still working on the wraparound. If you want to place an order for the E-mag grips it will be mabye 3 weeks til i get them out because i am waiting on resin to get here. aslo if you want to place an order go to the new order thread witch will be up as soon as i get my final test set done.

Thanks

**Jclaine** · 01-13-2005, 11:58 AM

im definetly intrested in the carbon grips. Count me in for a pre ordered set.

**mobius** · 01-13-2005, 08:31 PM

Oh hell yeah! If the vert panels are anywhere close to this price, I'll buy them as soon as they're available. Hell, I'll pre-order them. Let me know if you need a frame and/or panels to protoype from!

**nato** · 01-13-2005, 08:53 PM

I'll take a set of carbon emag panels... let me know when the thread is up so I can order.

Thanks,
N.A.T.O.

**nevets11_2003** · 01-14-2005, 11:57 PM

ive got some if you need them,
try to get ahold of me if you need them

**maglover728** · 01-15-2005, 09:05 AM

PM'ed you. Please respond when time permits. Thanks!

**Chris** · 01-22-2005, 03:15 PM

Any updates on the CF Grip panels?

**Flossabe** · 01-22-2005, 07:14 PM

It had ben warm for 2 or 3 days and I was going to lay up the demos to day and tomarrow but it got down to 25* here this morning and they will not look good if cured in the cold, they will get all foggy and be kindof rubery instead of hards, so hopefuly next week I can get some out. Sorry again for the dely.

**trains are bad** · 01-22-2005, 10:27 PM

if I can see some pics, it's highly likely I will pick up a set of .45 panels for a my ygrip.

**Lee** · 01-23-2005, 07:21 AM

interested in emag panels and possibly vert frame grips as well.

**JimmyBeam** · 01-23-2005, 10:44 AM

omg, you do Kevlar? you poor guy. personally i try to stay aay from Kevlar as much as possible. its the worst to work with.

**Flossabe** · 01-23-2005, 02:12 PM

Yea kevlar is not that great to work with, the stuff that I use is a carbon interwoven with kevlar so it is not so bad, a lot easyer to cut.

TRB does that Ygrip take the normal .45 like found on the e-mag?

**Mr. Mouse** · 01-23-2005, 02:47 PM

the hyperframe grips arnt that easy to make, you'll have to have some of the grip dug out and stuff, but if you could make them i might be interested
