Hi all,
I've not had much time to devote to this lately, but should be back at it by spring. It definitely works and looks pretty good but I'd like to make one more refinement on the shape, and some decent directions before I'd ask for any money for it.

Thank you. I am interested for sure.

Hi all,
I haven't had a chance to refine the prototype I'm running... it works and looks pretty good, could use some refinement in terms of how you attach the main undertray and the two pieces that go under the oil coolers and ultimately keep the fender liners in place.

I could sell 'em now as-is, but it would certainly be a "minor fitment required" sort of affair.

 

Suggestion:

Find a source for 99 spoilers and sell it as a package with lots of install pictures that resolve the fitment issues as much as possible...you can resolve some fitment issues with the spoilers you receive and make a little extra profit on the combo...

Do it...this will rock on the track!

 

Basically, it fits great with the '99 spoiler itself... making it any batter would require 3D CNC vs. water jet cutting... what I really need to do is refine the profile of the back of it, so that it's easier to attached the under panels, keep the fender liners off your tires, etc.

 

You've got a CNC machine in your garage right

Just picked up a '99 bumper from Fritz and need a lip

 

I owe you a PM, I have an extra lip.

 

I need a 99 spoiler and this kit...I am definitely in when u make the decision to sell...any dibs on ur extra spoiler?

 

Any Progress...

 

i need these lip spacers

 

Any updates on production? I would love to get a set!

 

Guys. I suck. I've been busy and haven't ramped this up, but will try to get it rolling over the holiday break.

 

cool, ill keep an eye on the thread!

Subbed!

 

any updates?

 

so is this dead in the water? I can get this brought to market via a plastics company I have very close ties with.

 

do ittt

 

Is this a go?

 

Are you going to make one for the FD R1 front chin spoiler? Just curious

 

how is this coming along I really like the enlarged air ducting.

 

i like the idea a lot, it looks really good & add some performance , shitty its dead...oh well another one in the book of 7 extinct

 

Hey everybody

Obviously I've been pretty lax in ever getting this off the ground, and that's for a couple reasons:

1. First (not fixable) is simply time/energy. I'm pretty busy career wise, and what time I do have is poured into modding/upgrading my own car.

2. The second is, the one I built for my car needed some finishing work... a bit of light sanding/smoothing, painting (not 100% necessary, it's already black), and hand fitting/assembly, including choosing hardware, drilling/tapping holes on the spacer itself, and on the OE undertray so it will still mount.

The end result looks great, and works well (I can tell you there's an honest to goodness aero difference, though I obviously can't quantify it), but it doesn't meet a very high standard as a finished "kit", and I've been in the RX7 community long enough to have bought plenty of "kits" that I've been pretty disappointed with as far as the bolt-on, finished quality of them. Being a creative pro myself, I just hate the idea of putting something out that isn't really well resolved.

That all said, I think there would be high demand for this based on other's assessment of the aesthetics, and the functionality. SO, I'm interested in how people feel about creating a product that requires some engineering and fitment on your part to make work the way it should, vs. a ready-to-bolt-on product.

Let me know your thoughts—and be honest. It doesn't take much for people to start ripping on a product, person, or company anymore, and so I don't need that kind of grief from a side project!
