u should make drift parts!!!!! weeeee. hoods, bumpers. sideskirts.. yes.. with easy detachablity style. but make them with like a little metal bracing tha can be swapped out if bent. the one like eriks would be hot, but if u could utilize a single cam lip or even turn signals it would be that much better.

but would u be interested in making me a bumper kind of like erics, but with my zenki lip on it and chuki style turn signal holes, and some sideskirts? name a price and stuffs. but it needs to be stronger then his...

When the company gets going over the summer that's what I will be making!

I could most likely make whatever you'd want, but working in Fiberglass has its limits. The fiberglass will hold up better against bending under high speed but if you hit something it will break rather than deform like urethane does. Well-laid fiberglass is much stronger then the blown crap that GTP uses - Erik's bumper is so think in places that you can literally see through it, plus it fits like a rubber chicken. Hand-laid F-glass like I will be making ought to be able to take a healthy whack with a baseball bat and not break, which can't be said for those korean knock-offs.

The most I could offer right now would be to make them cheap enough that you could buy 2 for the price of one of someone else's. Perhaps in the future metal-braced Urethane will be an option, but I'll have to go one step at a time.

Parts like hoods, hatches, dashes, and the like will be made sturdy and light. and ought to last you forever, or at least until you wreck your car.

I have several insane designs that would be drift-friendly, that will make the GTP bumper look like a melting cheese grater...

Stay tuned for updates as we more past the prototype stages and get some products available - I may be looking to sponsor some people with bumpers and other aero accessories!

u should attack the b-magic style, like kuoki style front end with big lip along with side skirts, or if u got ur own style im sure it would be hott judging off erics bumper.

I don't want to get into too many knock-offs. I'd rather design insane styles myself of according to what people want.

True that my stuff won't cost a fortune, but at the same time it will have great fitment and be crazy like a buffet!

I have a dozen or so styles that I want to try out once I get a good working mold and have some more prototypes (the first one blew ass...)

Hey if you make a kit for the S14 I'll be glad to let you use my car as a prototype :) .

I'll cut you a fat deal if you're the first one - I still have to figure out how all the sponsoring and discount stuff would work...

...hell I still need to come up with the first unit!

I don't know how long it would take to get a working mold going since there are a number of options for making mas-production molds and most of them aren't cheap. Point is: rather than using cars as forms or "bucks", I would most likely buy a front bumper off E-bay and trial-and-error the rest (since fitment for side skirts and rear diffusers aren't nealy as complicated as bumper supports, headlights, and fenders).

I'll donate all of my twice cam parts if somehow I can get a good deal on a S13 Silvia front.

Thanks!

I plan on making parts for cars that nobody makes parts for: Cressida, Z, MK II and III Supras, Chevettes, and the like.

I also will (of course) hit up the regulars: S14/14, Silvia, AE86, Miata

I'll keep everyone posted (sticky? :D )

Not all of us koreans make knock offs:lol:

I would be interested in some some body parts also, though not yet, because I need to get my suspension together, and lsd. Then will come beauty. I'm interested in the detachable part of funk's post. How, may I ask do they work?
