Status Elite

As many of you may know Status Elite is no longer in business and has shut down

I recently talked to the owners about some of their products and was able to do one last group buy. I need at least 10 people to sign up and pay for the products!!

Item Description: Every carbon fiber product we produce is “Dry Carbon.” We utilize the highest quality materials and manufacturing process available in the industry. Our manufacturing process is similar to those of aerospace, aviation, military, motorsports, and Formula 1. Every composite part starts with the mold and is the most expensive part of producing a product. A quality mold reflects high quality part. At Status Elite we hand craft our molds with high grade epoxy and carbon fiber. “Dry Carbon” the name has nothing to do with the look and finish of the piece, but it has everything to do with how it’s made. “Dry Carbon” (aka Pre-Preg) is Carbon Fiber pre-impregnated with frozen resin. We utilize a special type of high grade epoxy in our pre-impregnated fibers so that the resin can provide continuous service about 350 degrees. Once vacuumed pressure and heat is induced the resin flows evenly providing the same consistency for every piece. At Status Elite we vacuum bag and AUTOCLAVE every part we produce. The advantage of autoclaving is the constant high pressure and high temp cure which enables the part to achieve high durability and strength. Under applied pressure the “Dry Carbon” (aka Pre-Preg) is able to fuse tightly together. Applied pressure allows excess resin to be removed, which translates to light weight.

ITEMS AVAILABLE FOR GROUP BUY, THESE WILL BE THE LAST SETS FROM STATUS ELITE

Status-Elite Engine Cover MSRP: $469.00

Status-Elite Radiator Shroud MSRP: $369.00

Status-Elite Battery/Brake MSRP: $289.00

Status-Elite Intakes $325 Shipped (EXCELLENT DEAL ONLY FEW LEFT)

Status-Elite Diffuser MSRP: $669.00



EXCELLENT GROUP BUY PRICING, PM ME FOR DETAILS

PRICING WILL VARY DEPENDING ON GROUP INTEREST. I NEED AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE INTERESTED. DO NOT MISS YOUR CHANCE ON AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!!

Im talking to the owner of Status Elite, Although the business is closed, he is willing to still make these items if I can gather about 10 people interested with a product. So therefore i need 10 people interested either with the Radiator Cover or the Whole set. PM sent.

I think people are hesitant sending money to a company that is closed.

Can't say I blame them.

Just talked to Rob abt the intakes. He said "It fits properly. Ask them to be sure that they have the power steering bracket that we supply with the kit. Also, ask if they have all the original hardware that we supply."

He has to make them. So these are authentic/Brand new from status elite. The turn around time is about 2-4 weeks or sooner. When its made it'll ship the same day ^.^ but first i need 10 potential buyers!

I'd like a radiator shroud but I'm not paying unless it's made already. If he has the means to make a few more, why doesnt he just come back and sell them after making them? I'm sure he'd sell them all quickly.

^^ I would have to agree! Maybe if he would have did this right before closing like a close out sale. I would understand! How do we know the quality will be the same and who will be there if its not? Just to many uncertainties! If he makes some on hand I will be interested in a shroud.
