    Skid Plate

    I use to work at a company called Plastic Innovations, and that's all they made were plastic parts from molds. But we used mold injection. Which would NOT be the route for this type of niche type marketing. Since our molds ranged from 100k to 500k each.

    Skid Plate

    Believe it or not, vacuum forming is not as expensive and hard as one might think. Anyone who knows someone that is hardcore into RC airplanes will know that it's not uncommon to make custom parts. http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-good,-cheap,-upgradeable-sheet-plastic-vacu/

    Skid Plate

    I don't need people to be able to see it. It has its purpose. I rather have a skid pad scrap a speed bump instead of my oil pan.

    Skid Plate

    Now that I think about it, I believe my mazda 6 had a short plastic one. Depending on the material costs, I'm thinking of making one very similar to the picture posted. My original concern was to try and prevent the oil pan/cross member from getting destroyed from those unexpected dips in...

    Skid Plate

    HELP: Fuel Door.

    I did the same. Since one of my hinges are broken, my door likes to sit comfortably jammed flushed with the body. So after pulling the latch and pushing it in some, and THEN pulling the latch a second time, it pops open. As for the door jamming, the first time I just pulled the latch from...

    Google Wave

    I was given the developer beta to test and I can say that I'm fairly impressed. It really brings new things to the table effectively.

    Forza 3 anyone?

    Are you talking about using the manual with clutch default buttons? Yeah, they suck. Otherwise, the layout is typical. The driving is better than the previous versions and the drifting isn't NFS style, thank god, and doesn't feel like you're driving on ice. Definitely a worthy investment...
