new info
I can't give a definite price on the bumper with just the lens covers at this time. The covers are not done Until it's done, I don't know how much it's going to cost me but my guess is $725.
I can make copies of the sideskirts, hood, and carbon fiber splitters but I need to get 10 prepaid buyers before I do that.
The RE sideskirts aren't that expensive to begin with. You are looking at $550-600 a set shipped to you. It kind of makes no sense to make copies of them if they are already so cheap. I can set up a group buy on those and I just import them at once. Give RE Amemiya more business too.
The CF splitters cost more though. They are $400 a set. I can have those done for $250.
The fenders on the RE car is a one off. They don't sell it. But I can have one made just like that using the Panspeed fender flares and molded it on the stock fenders.
Anyways, the bottomline is that I will make copies of this bumper no matter what but if you guys want more parts on that RE Amemiya car, I need to get enough people on it and prepay before I import the stuff.
Thank you.

I'd take one with HID BUT:...
I'd like this to be done with S-Glass and epoxy perferably an EAST or MGS system resin, w/ med. cure hardener
NOT cheap H-Glass and polyester resin.. ( total materials cost would end up being $35 )
Oh and I can make those canards in CF for $250 Canadian if you'd like..

Wow, rotaryextreme, you amaze me. Ever since the FC2000 kit came out, all i ever read on this board was, "I want it, but it's too expensive, someone should make a copy". At the same time, i'm thinkin, who in their right mind would copy a bodykit for such an old car? FC's aren't exactly as abundant as say, a honda civic. But you have heard our prayers , and answered them. FINALLY, someone out there with the know-how is helping out the FC3S community in a big way. I must applaud your decision to offer the FC more options of body tuning here in the SUV-laden states.
I know you're just now working on this project, but I must ask, do you think you'll ever make a copy of the GP Sports G-four kit for the FC as well? I like the FC2000 kit, but I prefer the flip-up headlights and the general lines of the GP kit.
Good luck on the FC2000 kit.

Not pickin on your or anything... but for those who havent noticed, the opening necks down as it goes back... i believe it is 23" x 8-9", but for those who have the new GReddy front mount, you will have to cut part of that away anyway... so by the time you cut it to sit flush to your IC, it will be probably around 24x 10" which is almost the exact size of the ic. I had Alf do some measurements on his last year when i was going to import one through Chuck, because my ic is mounted way up front just like the GReddy unit.
And the lenses are clear... they just have a blue sticky plastic cover to protect them from being scratched in shipping/install, right Chuck?

1. Bumper only: $650....The headlight housings are part of the bumper. So bumper only still comes with those headlight housings. I am going to sell those Lexan covers separately for $75 and it will be clear, not blue. The blue on the original RE bumper is just a film. The covers are clear after you peel it off.
2. bumper with lights and lexan covers: $1000...It means you will get everything: bumper, Hella 90mm high/low beams, lexan covers.
3. bumper with HID low beam, high beam, and lexan cover: $1500.... It means you will get the bumper, HID hella low beam and halogen Hella high beam, and lexan covers
The picture shows the orignal RE bumper. It uses the cheap quality IPF lights. We are going to use high quaility projector low beam Hella lights and same high quality Hella high beam. Everything is made in Germany.

when you pay for the lights to come with it, are we paying for this?:

If you want larger mouth, you will have to cut it larger yourself and do some fiberglass and bondo bodywork. I can't really do that without making a new mold. Sorry about it.
