That could look really sweet, judging from the simplistic curves; looks like it would go well with the rest of the lines on the car. It's really too hard for me to tell, though, without it being painted.

I like the kit, but the sides skirts stick out too much. need to shave down the front port of it a bit. i would be affraid on certain turns near curbs. I do believe there might be some probs with that with lowered rides. Also i have seen these production pics for a long while, i think almost a year... How long will it take to release it, and will you have problems with supply. I think you will actually sell these, and i am considering my options tight now. I do like the Kaminari Kit the best, next to the AIT Racing Kit. I was going with the AIT, but practical reasons is keeping me from it for the time being. Great kit, but i think the side skirts will need further improvements...

LAter.

PLEASE POST THE PAINTED PICS ASAP//./

Deffinetly need to see it on a finished car dropped with some wheels. I think a demo would do wonders for sales for you guys. Thanks for offering up another alternative.

the front is just OK but the sides and the rear has to go IMO. I like more smoother looking body kicks. The sides stick out to far like a kick stand or something and the rear just reminds me of something that would be on an eclipse....

sorry it gets a

i agrree with reese on this one. front looks good, but the rest needs some work. the front looks very subtle and simple but the rest looks like too much.

does it still fit the OEM lower grille? Any shots of seeing if the side really does stick out much?

like i said before the sides are what is throwing the whole concept off. Just smooth it down about 1/2 inch or so and see what that looks like.. I still think you will have curb problems...

Once it is painted it will look 1000% better. Without seeing how the paint will highlight and shadow it's hard for most people to envision it.

When it was at least all one color when we finished it the kit looked great.

Also it does use the stock upper and lower grills and the kit sits just slightly lower than stock.

the kit looks good bro, the front end is looking good, not to "busy" with gaps and what not, just looks like a modded front lip to it, the sides look good, loving the rear bumber.

ill wait to see it painted before i go w/ this kit or the bc2

Because the kits arrived in the USA 5 days ago. There have been 0 kits shipped out so far but have the first going out tomorrow.

We will post updated pics as cars are completed.

i cant understand then why if its basicly done, and this thread isnt about asking for opinions to change the final outcome, then why is it posted not painted? it seems your main reply is wait till its painted, well... i personaly woulda had it painted and fitted perfect to a tC before posting picts.. now people already have there views planted of its not so sexyness w/ it unpainted that it will most likely not change there mind when it is painted.. i dont know, maybe its just me w/ a flu talking.. but i woulda waited.

BTW.. still hasent grown on me... sides and rear are still anti...

The rear is such a Kaminari rip off.

The rear is not a kaminari rip off. It is astock bumper with a diffuser section added into it.

We are not asking for opinions on changing the design. The molds are done and 10 kits are in stock. We were just looking to get feed back from new members on the general design.

We will have some painted pics in a few weeks and will post them up as soon as we get them.

We do not paint a prototype kit as it has to be shipped all the way overseas and often the painted finish gets damaged in shipment and causes the kit to crack b/c the prototypes are a mix of foam, bondo, fiberglass, and factory bumper.

it has potential. some colors will look fabulous, others will look atrocious. black would probably look _____in, the AP probably won't suit it. Unsure about IIP, wasn't able to get an accurate photoshop with mine.

You know what, the kit is really growing on me now that i have been studying its lines to the tC and it has some serious potential. I think if you add a lower front defuser<Msp? or Carbon Fiber one to the lower part of the front i think that would go well with it. And it is fully painted to match, then it would look sweet on a BSP...

What is the price on it shipped?? I might actually decide that this is the kit for my ride. I think the initial pics throw the side bumpers off because they are the stock 45 offset rims, and are not flush with the fenders, like you see in most tC with the 35 offset 19's or 18's. I have some 18" Gold Advans GRII's that i have not put on the car, and i think that with this kit, they would look great. I would add the Kaminari wing and hood to set the rest of the kit off.

PM me with a price and i can profile it down here in good ol Texas. If the price is right since it is your first 10, them i might be sportin this soon....

Later
