You can get them from Re-A, however the retail on them... is roughly $5k for all of this stuff... maybe more.

All noted above with the prices by the side, in a sense, would be the full kit. . . . but most people would suffice and be happy with the base AD-GT kit (allows for a bit of personalization on the rest), which gets you the "widebody" look, that still retains the sleek lines

He'd probably want at least 8-10 people to buy in at least with a 25% deposit?
10 x $650 = $6500
This will cover the cost of Ken to get the whole kit at a RETAIL price, obviously if he found it cheaper, maybe he'd drop the deposit price?
Then once it's all replicated, perhaps people that made the deposit can then pick and choose the items they want from the $650 they put down. That way they're not committed to buy the whole kit, but they made a deposit to cover it. Make sense?
It's all speculation. I'd be willing to start/organize a group buy if Ken gives the OK.

We actually have alot of projects on hand. I would even say more than we can handle at the moment. I was interested in purchasing the kit because it was such a good deal. However, I did not have any immediate plans for the project.
There are a few group buys we have to complete so I don't want to throw another project in the mix because it puts alot of pressure. I can easily spend a whole day just giving "updates" on a project, which really doesn't get much done for our company.

However, when you get less on your plate in terms of projects, let us know if you'd like to take on this project. i'm sure we'd be all over it when you're ready. Especially around now - April, bc we're all getting tax returns
hell, if anything, we'll keep it self sufficient, and get all the deposits sent to your shine paypal, and sit and wait. Bc naturally, it takes a grip of time to get anything from Ama-san to begin with. So yea, i'm game if anyone else is.

very nice kit. I just bought one from japanparts.com. Very expensive for an actual RE Amemiya. My car has been at the body shop a few days now getting everything installed. Still need the hood and wing. I cant wait.

Oh one more thing. I think its great that everyone likes this kit so much, but whats makes this kit so great and a big reason everyone wants it is because of its exclusivity. I dont think making replica kits is the way to go. It ruins the exclusivity. If anyone and everyone can get their hands one this kit, true RE or replica, it will be everywhere like the C-West kit.
That said. Im not tryin to hate on Shine Auto or anything for their commitment to helping the FD scene, they make great stuff. If they do a one time production of this kit like they do with many parts that will help maintain exclusivity and is a fair balance.
Just wanted to speak my mind.
Thanks

So maybe in others eyes, it may be the exclusiveness, but in mine, it's not. it's the asthetics
