The aftermarket
finally caught up.
The Racing Files was born because the parts we needed didn't exist — or cost $400 for a plastic clip. We decided the answer was a platform that lets designers share what they've built and gets it to builders anywhere in the world.
Our Mission
Modernize the enthusiast aftermarket.
The automotive aftermarket hasn't fundamentally changed in decades. You find a part, you pay too much, it half-fits, and you wait six weeks. For older or niche vehicles, you don't even get that.
3D printing changes the equation entirely. A designer in Tokyo can solve a problem that an NA Miata owner in Texas has been fighting for years — and ship the solution to them digitally in seconds.
The Racing Files is the infrastructure that makes that happen at scale, with verified quality, fair creator compensation, and on-demand manufacturing for people who don't own printers.

What We Stand For
Our Values
Fitment First
Every part must be tested on a real vehicle before earning the Verified badge. No guessing.
Built by Enthusiasts
We are car people and bike people. We build this for ourselves as much as for you.
Creator Protection
We actively protect our designers. DMCA enforcement, licensing control, and fair revenue sharing.
Real Manufacturing
This is not arts and crafts. Our parts are engineered with print-in-mind DFM from day one.
