Did Maria Motorsports go out of businesses
 
I was wondering since I heard chatter about their entire shop being sold a few months ago in person today. If true then first gen body kits are truly dead aside from the garbage duraflex makes ( don't ever buy their products, they don't fit well) =/

Jim Haggerty passed away, and his wife sold the shop/business to a bunch of guys that are on here.

As far as I know there's only one of us on here :)

Dr. Wayne Graham of OG Rotary Engineering (you can find photos of him with a perm in some of the old RE fliers/literature/promo stuff that's floating around, he also currently races in SCCA, VARA, and SVRA) and I bought the building, inventory and tooling after Jim passed due to lung complications last year. I also run the facility, curate a few clients vehicles, and do my own research and development out of the space as well. Mariah itself is completely out of the picture and will not be rebooting out of this building.

We are, however, open to local sale and pickup of current old stock at a pretty substantial discount. Also if anybody has an urge or knows of someone who legitimately is interested in creating a business using Mariah's old parts and tooling we're completely open to reasonable offers. Anyone can feel free to PM me directly if they're interested/has any questions.

What kits do you guys still have available ? Im only 22 and don't exactly have lots of disposable income ( law school) and always planned on picking a body kit up at some point. Sad to hear He died since it was honestly the last good place to buy body kits

I'd need to go to storage to be 100% but I believe I've got at least one of everything except the parts that were subcontracted through Hartman Fiberglass (GTO/GTU). Shoot me a PM if you want to discuss it further and I'll give you my contact info. I'm not a vendor here and I don't want to step on any toes.

If you're interested in the roots of the original company from Jan-2000, here's your link: https://www.nellump.net/peri/the-eng...-mechanic.html

I have a Mariah Mode4 Front Bumper and Rear Hatch on my car, and I've only seen one other car with the hatch - at SevenStock20 several years ago. Quality of their design and fiberglass work has withstood the test of time,

Not sure why the bat signal for Honda motorcycle parts is being thrown up, but I've helped get someone else set up to continue laying up new parts using Mariah's old tools as well as some other older/rarer tooling:

Contact Brandon Droese using the form at the bottom and feel free to let him know that Dave sent you over, he'll either work with you a little or punch you in the mouth, dunno. :)
