Tri-point body kit

Does anyone know if they still sell their wide body kit for the FC?
I can't find a link on their website for aero parts? I liked the wing they had as well.
I liked the way they kept the same factory bodylines just made it wider.

Or does anyone have a suggestion for a similar kit?

My kit was originally based on the Tri-Point kit but I widened it, coverered more of the tire, added vents and just generally improved upon their design. PM me or for just pics and info...

Tripoint sold their molds. Ask my how I know... They took all evidence of them off of their website.

Yeah, that was the story I got from them as well, they were trying to sell them for the same price as a fender set...wonder what shape they were in and if the RaceonUSA replicas are as bad as mentioned? Maybe someone with experience with them could chime in?

If you go to teamfc3s, carl byck has the replicas and if you read his buildup thread, you will see that he had to do a fair amount of body work to get the fitment right. Very nice car in the end. And as far as the shape of the molds tripoint sold, dunno yet...

Bumping an old thread as I'm interested in this too. Are the race-on replicas as terrible as most of their products?

Worse. The front fenders are essentially unusable. The rears could be made to fit with a boatload of effort. Not a wise purchase, but I was quite hungry for them at the time. 4 sale cheap.

AWR's rear fenders could be an option but I'm not digging the lines on their fronts.

Tri-point really nailed it back when. It just sucks that you can't get them anymore.
