Totally honest opinion.


Its OK at best. I'll be honest, redesign the front. It looks stupid. Period. It does not compliment the tc's body lines at all. You cant make your rear piece, front piece, and side skirts to match and expect it to flow with the cars lines. It just doesnt do it. The front is atrocious. It makes our car look like a damn stingray. The side skirts are fine, its not hard to make sideskirts to make our cars look nice. The rear piece, well the thing on the sides kill it. Kinda matches the front piece, the little fangs or I dont even know what to call it. Also the spoiler is horrid. Get rid of it. Put this kit on a stock color tc, with rims and a decent drop, IMO I dont think it will flow too well.

Obviously, it's subjective.

Please refer to previous post where I said "telling us to redesign it" is not an option at this point.
Thanks!

like others said.. props to that spoiler. direct replacement of the pedestal spoiler since it covers the holes. any chance of making a carbon fiber version of it? might be be cheaper than getting the spoiler painted etc etc

It's subjective yes, but when 95% of this post so far is telling you basically the same thing I told you, theres a problem.

Is this all business? Do you just want to sell to 16-17 kids who just finished watching Tokyo Drift? You know, the kind of trash you see in Modified Mag, in the last 2 pages, in a little corner of the page advertising your kit? Or you want to have a respected company by true tuners and enthusiasts with a nice looking body kit? Where they dont need advertisements to get their products out. (not really but you get my point)

I understand the point you are trying to drive at, but there is quite a broad spectrum of "enthusiasts", who don't all want the same things. Agreed? And we do actually have a respected company, you are just not familiar with us is all.

Don't get me wrong, we appreciate everyone's input, but to belabor the fact that you think we should throw it all in the trash and go back to the drawing board is not an option at this point, and would rather try to keep the thread from growing to 14 pages of that sort of stuff.

Thanks!!!

No, but for the right people we could throw in a free windshield banner or baseball cap;-)

The retail price is about as low as it can get at the moment....that was the point of this kit.

we don't want u to exactly go back to the drawing board. The kit looks good other than the front. That is the only part people are saying doesn't flow or look good. I think it would look better if it came all the way across and wasn't so high on the side of the bumper. The tC front bumper is too long from side to side to make end caps like that. IMO.

That spoiler looks GREAT tho.

    Well, everything can be purchased individually if someone wanted to mix this kit with the front lip from another kit perhaps...

    that's makes it better for sure.

    And yes i think if this kit was molded it would be better that way u couldn't tell it is so many different pieces.

    I can't get over how good the kit looks on the other cars. Especially the Mazda.

    A) great attempt at a new kit, it was needed
    B) the front lip looks kinda like the viniati fierce (maybe force) lip, without the middle of it.
    C) i think the side skirts look like the Touring sides u can get with the M-Power kit from Viniati
    D)finally, i think it'd look GREAT with my RS1 front lip.

    Definiately A for effort though
