Just trying to get the news stirred up a bit and let everyone know that our company will be privately manufacturering a body kit for the tC. We started development on the kit today and should have prototype photos on Monday, Tuesday at the latest. The kit is going to be a very simple 4 pc kit replacing the front and rear bumpers. The kit will be made out of fiberglass and priced very affordable. We will have 30 kits produced on the first batch and will offer a special price to members with various colors of the tC so we can show the kit in every color possible. The kit will be available for sale within 2 months from the Tuesday, but this is just to get the buzz going. As mentioned, pics will be here no later than Tuesday.

Thanks
James

pics??

awesome cant wait, looking for a cheaper priced body kit..how much are you estimating the price at?

bump for info

keep us updated
looking forward to the pics!!

yeah man im dying to get a bumper.........................................

pics??

read the last sentence in his post!

Pics will be posted as soon as the development is done...

awesome looking forward to seeing it.. holy crap I just realized Creative Compacts is located in VA! would you guys hook me up with paint/install of a bodykit or engine components in the future?

can't wait to see

That is very interesting. When you say affordable....what exaclty do you mean?

I would probably be looking to do $599 or lower on a complete kit.

I would probably be looking to do $599 or lower on a complete kit.

Painted or no? If not, would you paint them at an extra fee?

Not painted.... It is recommended to have someone paint the kit with the car so they can insure color match

is it going to be a mild kit or something dramatic and wild, because I might be interested in being one of the first

This kit is going to be very SUTTLE and very clean... It is a style I have liked since I saw it in Nov last year so I am sure if you are going for the clean look, you will like this kit. I think this kit is going to look EXTRA KILLER on SuperWhite and Red... but should be nice on the other colors as well.

Awesome - I've been waiting for a good kit to come out for the tC ... I like the kaminari rear but the front and sides are to drastic.

Are you going to also do a part out option for those who, like the previous guy, like the Kaminari rear but may prefer your front and side skirts?

Most definitely.. I will be stocking these kits and will be able to part them out if needed. How ever until we decide to start stocking Kaminari, I will not be able to mix and match and ship together, but it is something in the works...

Any word on those pictures??? its Wednesday???

vry interested

Im also looking forward to the pics...

where are the pics? my TC needs a facelift, i need

I got the pics... however I got them really late today... I am going to watermark them tonight or tomorrow and I will post them.... The kit will be instock in about 80 days and I have a special incentive for people that this kit will not be made out of fiberglass or urethane but will be a special material that is going to change the way body kits are made and how they hold up.

Carbon fiber? Nah that would be uber expensive. A special polyurethane type resin? Ballistics grade plastic? :ponder: Damn it man, the suspense is killing me.

Now that's how you get some word around!....i like your style brotha

hehe can't wait to see the pics..... /drool hehe

FINALLY a clean kit!.... thank god :bow:

subscribing to post... where them pics? 8)

Actual images of the body kit have been posted to CreativeCompacts.Com.... I had to do this to protect the copyright images on the photos since some companies and individuals like to steal photos and say its theirs'.

AT THIS TIME THE KIT IS EXCLUSIVE TO CREATIVECOMPACTS.COM

No other distributor, shop, buddy or company will be selling this kit. It is being produced solely for CreativeCompacts.Com

Even though pricing has been posted, full kit price and pre-orders are subject to a cheaper price. Still working on the numbers to make sure we can offer this kit at a very affordable price.

As far as the material its made out of... As you will see in the product descriptions, it is made from Aero-Flex. Aeroflex is a manufacturing process incorporated in to the Fibers manufacturing process that allows the fiberglass parts to flex, bend, and conform to configurations never achieved with standard fiberglass products. By incorporating Aeroflex technology into the manufacturing process, we have eliminated a vast majority of the disadvantages of a standard fiberglaa item without sacrificing factors such as overall finish, weight, and COST.

So what does this mean? Well I will have images later from my trip to California where I literally sat on a Aero-flex bumper so hard it was about FLAT on the ground and it did not crack. We jumped up and down on a hood, no cracks.. We even twisted a front bumper 180 degrees and there wasn't even a stress crack. What this means is, for the same price of fiberglass, we are going to be able to offer you a Urethane characteristic product.

If anyone has any questions, just post em up and I will answer them.

Pics look pretty good. I am not sure I like the sideskirts as much but it is hard to tell when you cant see a full shot of the whole kit on the car rather than individual shots. I am really digging the front and rear bumpers though! When do you think you will have a full kit preorder price? Also how much would shipping be on a full kit? Also I hope that the kit will fit 100% perfect right? Ive seen some bad fitting kits out there before, and I would much rather wait a little extra more time to make sure it fits right instead of rushing a kit to market.

Where are the pics on the website? I can't find them!

Nice body kit, I like it alot. Need a straight back-end shot though to get a good glimpse of the rear bumper. Will this body kit be on your car when you come to the local BBQ on the 17th?

Nevermind...... :doh:

I cant see the pictures. are they supposed to be the buddy club 2 pictures?

Also will the stock grill (or a grillcraft) still fit in place or will it have to be mesh? Maybe you can come up with a nice set of grills to go with it (like the black grillcrafts) rather than generic mesh grill. That would set it off real nice!

Fitment - With not releasing the kit till June, you can rest assured we are NOT rushing a kit to the market and am going to make sure the fitment is good. Also that is a plus with the AeroFlex that fitment can be adjusted IF Need be.

As far as pre-order price... Again still working on numbers.

I do have a dead on rear bumper shot just didn't get it online at the time I did the others. Completely my fault and I will get it up hopefully tomorrow or later today

I will not have this kit installed on our company car in April since the pieces will not be ready till June.

We will be offering the bumper at this time with simply mesh. We did change the grill opening to give the bumper a lot more flare and not look like a hacked up bumper.

Yeah, I noticed the drastic change of the opening after comparing it to a stock one - I dont know what I was thinking, lol.

Yeah that lower grill opening is perfect for say....an intercooler :D

Wonder how well it'll flex once painted.

How much lower does it extend towards the ground compared to stock?

Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions! I was thinking about getting the stock ground effects, but Im pretty sure I will be waiting for this kit now...

WHERE ARE THE PICTURES?! I can't find them on the website...

Pictures are located on the website under SCION TC --> EXTERIOR --> BODY KITS
Then choose front,sides or rear

Front Facia is cool. The bumper and sideskirts aren't really my cup of tea though.

Rear bumper picture from dead on has been added

For some reason James, the pics aren't visible on the screen. Has the title to the part, but no pics. Glad to see that everything is done though. Keep me updated on what we talked about before though too.

You have to click on the title to bring the page with the pics up.

I have added the THUMBNAILS to the product since too many people were saying no images were online cause they were not clicking the link....

Looks good James, can't wait to see it on your car.

Not too bad looking...

I like it looks clean and not to agressive

Dont know if you saw my last question, but how much lower does it extend towards the ground compared to stock?

it looks okay.. i really need to see more shots of it to be able to tell... most BC stuff has never really been my taste though. i think someone asked this before, but is there going to be some type of grill added to the bumper and between the headlights? looks like big gaping holes at the time being...

It looks pretty good.

hmm yea I need to see more pics... but not too bad.

More pics? hehe gonna have to wait till June for those... all are posted right now

first kit that i like on the tC!

the buddy club is nice, but i was hoping for something original. still looks good though

i like it

will this be able to ship to hawaii?

yes i can ship to HI

yes i can ship to HI
cool, let me know when youre ready for pre-orders

No Problem, going to confirm everything and work a pre-order price out and get it up asap

i like it but..... i was also hoping for somthing original...oh well... and its really not that clean...at all....i was hoping for some japan drifting style kit that would just extend the body to the ground....doubt were gonna get anything like that though... :nope:

will this be available in anything other then fiberglass?

yup yup, nice kit, I wouldda liked to see a little more definition in the front bump. but over all a very clean kit. can't wait for more picutures. Thats when my final vote will be cast!
deffinatly a front runner on my list.

I like it alot. Even better then TCTunerz's touring kit, which was at the top of my list without going wide.
What fogs will fit snug in those holes?

Best I have seen so far for what I am needing, :clap: :clap: let me know when your taking orders.

Very nice kit...

Will the front bumper be able to utilize the factory chrome ring and grille insert? I can't recall if I read something to the effect of possibly running with a mesh style insert instead.

I like the overall look...on the edge of being aggressive, but still retaining a really sport look to it too.

Definitely will have to us posted on pre-order dates and cost.

where the pix i wanna see, i might buy one...

^^^ thanks =)

how big are those circles next to the bottom grill? are they big enough for fog lights, and if not is there enough room on the side openings?

will this be available in anything other then fiberglass?

No need to... Please check our post about what the item is MADE of

Thanks
James

Can not use factory grill... Thanks

you know i just took another look at those pictures.. the kit does look pretty clean; i do however think it would look a lot better without the two holes in the front bumper.. are those there for a reason? would it be possible to get w/o the holes? just curious...

Its the design... its for those who may want fogs... If you want it without holes, you will have to fiberglass it

Its the design... its for those who may want fogs... If you want it without holes, you will have to fiberglass it
Sooooooooo.....whta size fogs fit in there?

I will get exact measurements as soon as the sample arrives back to my shop. At this time we have sent the kit out to make a mold.

We will be offering preorders for $699 + Shipping if Anyone is interested... Looking at a $78 Savings over our web price of $777 + shipping

Thanks
James

THAT KITS GONNA BE UNDER $800! ...AND IT WONT' CRACK LIKE FIBERGLASS!
I think getting a body kit has just moved up on my list of "things to do for my tC"! :wink:

So your actually taking pre-orders right now...

Hmm...c/f hood and hatch...or bdkit? Decesions....decesions :ponder:

what do you think the cost would be to paint the kit???? i was at the dealer body shop and they told me to paint one side skirt would be like $150??? was that just cuz it was the dealership??? i'd get the kit but i wouldn't wanna spend like $500 more to paint it. i'd probably just get the oem ground kit which i think looks kinda nice.

Gonna depend on the body shop... I know around here its about $500-$700 for paint and install.

How much could I expect to pay for shipping?

Max shipping in the USA at this time is $140 to a business and thats to MA, DE, CT, AND VT. Shipping to MT is $135


Residentail Shipping is an additional $45

will this be available in anything other then fiberglass?

No need to... Please check our post about what the item is MADE of

Thanks
James

i like the kit, but i am never buying fiberglass again. rock chips are a pain in the a$$ with fiberglass. i was hoping for it to be made in another material also, but i guess that is not going to happen

I think you may change your mind once you actually see the material we are making it out of...

Yeah, according to James, he stood on the bumper until it was practically flat and the thing didn't even crack. That's pretty damn impressive.

Give me a few min... I will post a pic of me sitting and twisting it

pics dont' work

Looks like the server is in a reboot... should be up any min

Woah. It looks like your really enjoying that kit! I feel like I should be paying to see those :wink:

how much would shipping be just for the front bumper? and will it come with grilles installed?

:ponder: is that the 4 piece one?

i like the kit, but i am never buying fiberglass again. rock chips are a pain in the a$$ with fiberglass. i was hoping for it to be made in another material also, but i guess that is not going to happen

don't you drive an xB? :ponder:

yeah do we need to get a replacement grill or do u guys provide that too?

At this time it will be mesh insert

Max shipping in the USA at this time is $140 to a business and thats to MA, DE, CT, AND VT. Shipping to MT is $135


Residentail Shipping is an additional $45

Say I purchased this kit. Could I just drive down to VA and pick it up?

All of our prices are internet prices only. When we open our retail shop, our prices will be slightly higher instore because we still have to pay for shipping from CA to VA. So at this time to answer your question, no you can not.

so it won't be cheaper to buy it in store?

How much longer...I want...I want...

A lip kit sounded really gude...but theres is something about your kit that I really like.

WHEN That time comes, no. As mentioned at this time we are not setup to do retail sales. More of a distibutor/warehouse operation.

hey james will there be lower prices for the first 30 kits that u guys were goin to produce as stated in ur first comments or the lowest price to get would be the preorder price??

We will be offering a lower preorder price only.

so shipping of this kit will be around last week of June? hmmm.....think think think w/c one should i get :lalala: :lalala: :lalala:

That is correct

I'm not diggin the sides but the front and rear looks good.

d sideskirts looks aight not too aggresive...hey what do u think using the kaminari side skirts on it? can someone photoshop it pls. :pray: just wanna see how it'll look

that is like the buddy club kit on the tC

i like it

ok im done searching...THAT is the kit i want

that is like the buddy club kit on the tC

THat is why its called the Buddy Club 2 kit and its exclusive to our company :)

are you sure for the release date on this? just worried there might be some kind of delay or so you know.....

ok im done searching...THAT is the kit i want

yep im done as well!

In this industry, there is always high chance of delay... however we are keeping tabs on the progress every 10 days or so... Right now still on schedule

you said we wuld get a lower preorder price. how about if i just wanted the front bumper? will i get a lower price for that? and it not fiberglass right?

Our preorder price is only going to be for full kits... We are bringing in 20 full kits to begin inventory cycles... I do not want to deal with 10 split kits off the bat so we are going to do a preorder price that will be very tempting to do the full kit... Please read the 1st page or so of threads bout the material, it still is fiberglass with a twist.

now that's my man =) i really want to get this kit.....il wait for that day when you set up the pre order thingy :bow:

Any update on the foglight dimensions for this kit? I need to know if I can find fogs to fit this kit cleanly before I even consider it. I don't think it'd be clean enough w/o the fogs.

I'm not a big fan of mesh to keep things covered... Do you think there is any possible way to modify the OEM grill to fit the kit? I'm really loving the kit, but I'd want it to look as OEM as possible, with a flare. Like some of the other guys on here I'm oddly in love with the emblem being on the front grill (that is until someone out there makes a better looking grill). Subtle but sweet. For all this and more, thanks :D

We will have info on the fogs when we get our production pieces back.

I highly doubt you will be able to EVER use your OEM grill

update pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

:lalala: still waiting..................

hey how much lower to the ground is this kit from the stock bumpers?

when will you release pics of the kit on the car + painted?

Sorry guys, I am out of the office for the remainder of the week due to SEMA. Trust me we wanna get the preorders in as quickly as you guys...

Final Pics of it installed on our company white car will not be ready till sometime in July

Thanks
James

damn July :yawn: have to wait for few more months then :( hope u can start it by June...

can't wait =)

when are you going to start pre-ordering this kit?

We want to get an exact date from the manufacturer... We do not want to run into the same issue we did with the shifters.

So we're looking at sometime in July?

I have placed a mold status request yesterday, should have an update within a week or so...

any word?

Requested an update from the mold maker last week.. still waiting.

yeah cmon!! we wanna see =D

BUMP^

I want some information!!!! any updates????!!!!!!
