Thanks guys..

Especially thanks on the Photoshop compliment, I'm using a laptop and my finger! hahaha

Anyhow, I would like to produce this Kit Concept #645
I'm working on specifics and costs. If I could sell 20 Kits I could break even.

how are you coming up with costs and specifics without an actual kit/mold made? Just wondering how you are determining that.

Part of the costs = the mold.
Specifics = trade secrets and I am not obliged to release those.
Sorry

Thats fine... I was just wondering if this was mroe of a wild guess, or if you were pretty sure those costs were accurate.

how likely do you think you can get these made, and for what kind of price?

It's not a wild guess.

As far as likeliness... I'd say at this moment it's 20/80

Things change daily tho. and is dependant upon the demand for a sleek eurokit

If you look at the above pic, some of the photoshop is bad but alas... this incorporates the splitter, much like the one made by APR with the little arms... but this is an all in one.
Instead of bolting pieces upon pieces, why not make it one total amalgamation?

Those are what make body kits desirable... at least to me.

Sure we could snap on a hideous overbite .. or a floppy rear end but I think that the market for tC owners is more of a cleaner styling.
we could always contact chip foose, the master of making kits that look like they belonged on the car in the first place... it might be a stretch getting him to work on a JAPANESE car though, hahaha

No ____, foose is the man when it comes to custom cars! Some of the nicest work I have seen!

I'd also consider doing a hood like this.


I'd call it the FANG

hey team mighty miniz, first off props to your photoshop skills. i dont have a tC yet, but if everything goes good ill have one by june and i would def buy any one of those kits without a doubt (probly in urethane only tho). so you should really do your thing and try to get these kits produced. if other tC owners really would like one i know i wouldnt mind paying $200 bills to help you out with whatever you need done to get them out. im dead serious on that too. so really try to consider it man. once again props on the kits
