I am buying mirko splitter mold

BrApple said:
yeah but could the original get ruined from making a mold of it? I doubt anyone would sign up for that if it was the case ...

Exactly, that's why LUCA won't give up the rear wing she has for a mold. What happens if it gets destroyed and the mold fails. She's out an extremely rare part (what 1 of like 3 or something).

Why doesn't someone who has a mirko, use it as a plug to make a mold from it? Is the mirko patented? If not then there is no reason to buy rights to copy it.

Can't even say it's out of respect, he's not losing anything anyway, the whole reason anyone wants the mold is because he don't want to make them any more. So just use an existing part for a plug. Nothing can happen from doing that, hell there is a million body kit manufacturers that copy other kits everyday.

That's why I don't get how the hell people are willing to send a ton of money to china so they can wait a year for a damn hood. It's retarded. Making a mold is extremely easy if you already have a plug. It's designing the original plug that is a .

That's awesome bagged. I wanted to make a hood mold but my hood is dented to hell. Because a cf oe style hood to me would look better than a big cowl anyway.

Ah, so now the plan is to make a new mold by copying someone's splitter? And this is already in progress?

yes. i guess so. this is what im doing not what these other guys are working on
 
im probably going to go ahead with having the new mold made with the wrap around style splitter. so the original Mirko mold will be available for purchase if someone wants to buy it from me and use it to make fiberglass splitters.

Great. Let us know the timeline when you get things sorted out. Also did you get my PM?
 
svt4stv still has the mold purchased from Mirko but now he has it for sale. If I remember correctly he decided to go with a new mold and the new splitters will be manufactured in China. So it will be a few months until any are available. I think if someone wants them in C/F they will have to make them themselves. :(
