New Carbon Fiber MINI dive planes / canards / aerodynamics
Sierra Composites has just released its newest addition to its motorsports line of products. The Mini carbon fiber dive plane set. Due to feedback from our customers who wanted a carbon fiber dive plane option that gives less downforce than our regular full size dive planes. High performance down-force MINI trimming dive planes are typically used to balance the front aerodynamics of a race car or street car that may already be modified with our larger GT3DP dive planes or a rear wing or other rear aerodynamic device. Alternatively they can be used on their own, as the downforce generated is ...
High speed carbon fiber robot end arm = faster production + reliablity
Sierra Composites continues to work with plastic cup, CD, DVD and other manufacturers that utilize high speed robotics. Replacing a heavy aluminum end of arm tool with a carbon fiber part generally reduces the weight of that part by 50%. This gives your robot the ability to run faster generating more units in the same run time. Switching over to a carbon fiber end of arm tool is also much easier on the machine itself, since it now only has to move half the weight as it did the heavy metal part. This benefit decreases the mechanical breakdowns and repair times of your automated machines, this ...
New! Carbon Fiber front wheel well lip downforce spoliers
The second product in Sierra Composites new motorsport parts aerodynamics line. Carbon fiber front wheel well lip downforce spoilers for race and tuned street cars. Used to fine tune a cars front aerodynamics to give more front downforce, they redirect airflow to the front wheels as well as create more surface area for airflow to push downforce on. Initially used to gain an advantage under certain racing rules regulating chassis width. However they do work and were successfully used on the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR as seen in photos below. When rules allowed these to be molded into the race car front chassis they ...
New! Carbon Fiber Dive Planes / Front Bumper Canards / Aerodynamics
Just released from Sierra Composites! Our new SC Aero GT3 carbon fiber front dive planes, also sometimes incorrectly called bumper canards. Sierra Composites has fabricated custom race dive planes for years, but this is the first time we have developed a race style dive plane that can also be used on a street car, are universal fit and are not race car parts prices. A simple google search will give all kinds of results for "dive planes" or "bumper canards", however these parts are either cheap plastic with maybe a carbon fiber thin insert for looks but sold funny enough as ...
GREEN carbon fiber color sheets
Sierra Composites has just introduced its GREEN color carbon fiber sheets. Sierra Composites is the only manufacturer of this product. Unlike traditional Kevlar/Carbon hybrid weaves, our sheets do not have one color fiber strand woven to a black strand, nor do they have workability issues that Kevlar fibers present. Our new Green carbon fiber sheets have a more subtle look and can reflect a lighter or darker green depending on the light source. Currently these are available in our .015" sheets only. However we can manufacture any of our products to have the same green color look. Contact us with questions ...
Carbon fiber thin veneer sheet .015″
Sierra Composites is the leader in supplying carbon fiber thin veneer sheets to retail and business customers. Several of these use our carbon fiber sheets as a veneer overlay on stereo speakers giving them a high tech carbon fiber finish look. Since our carbon sheets are available with a high quality 3M 468MP adhesive backing, the application is very simple, and the results are outstanding as you can see below. You can purchase these high quality sheets through our online store www.sierracomposites.com
Carbon fiber custom dash
Sierra Composites has supplied customers carbon fiber sheet to build custom dash gauge and switch panels for the custom street cars as well as race cars. We are regularily asked what thickness of carbon fiber sheet should I use to build my custom dash with. There are really only two choices depending on what you are building. The first option is our .041" carbon sheet thickness, this is a perfect thickness for a small panel with a switch and a lightweight gauge or two that has some basic mounting support such as in a street car console area would have. ...
carbon fiber dive planes - aero trim package
Need some custom carbon fiber dive planes? Sierra Composites can fabricate those for you at very reasonable prices from carbon fiber, basalt, S-glass, texalium or any hybrid composite combination, that way you don't need to spend a lot of money on your aerodynamic testing. UPDATE! Sierra Composites is now offering its first non-custom aerodynamic motorsport part, the SC GT3 racing front dive planes. Check them out right here on our store website.
1998 Porsche GT1 Carbon Fiber Aero
Great photo we took of a factory 1998 Porsche GT1 showing carbon fiber aero fender vents and front dive planes. Sierra Composites has fabricated these type of aero devices used to trim up your aerodynamic package. We can produce small numbers of these at very reasonable prices, so you don't need to spend a fortune on factory parts.
New light weight light duty carbon fiber angle - LDA-
Due to numerous requests from customers Sierra Composites has just released its new Light Duty Carbon Fiber Angle or LDA. The new carbon fiber angle is manufactured to a thickness of .024" thickness, has a wall length of 1 1/2" and is available in two lengths, 24" and 48" long. This will be the only dimensions we will be producing, that allows us to give the best possible price to our customers. The angle is so easy to work with and easily cut with heavy scissors or tin snips, it made no sense to us to have any other sizes. Why ...
Best carbon fiber sheets at best prices
In the past year or so a couple other businesses jumped into the carbon fiber sheet market, lets call them DP, MV and PC , unfortunately they also have attempted to copy some of our products, the way we sell them and even use some of our terminology. That's fine since we were first its nice to have the honor of being copied. We still provide the highest quality products to business and retail customers. One issue we have to address however is the way their prices are presented to potential carbon fiber sheet customers. Since sheet sizes are not standard you ...
