looks nice, but how come no one makes a replica of the rear skirts. I mean the side of the car looks great but there's got to be the rear skirts to go with it to make it complete...Also I read somewhere that Chuck (rotary extreme) will be making those black covers for the trun signals

yeah it is missing the rear skirts for the complete look. me and my brother figure it to be easy to fabricate the turn signal covers, but thats a later time.

I found a guy who makes the rear skirts and they are only a couple hundred bux. I am talking to him right now to see what kind of deal he could give for a group buy. If anyone is interested please post up and let me know.

Damn that fits better than my Rotary Extreme GT-C replica and I spent over $800 in just body work to get it fitted and now its cracking everywhere . . . .

BTW what FMIC are you using there? It seems to fill it up nicely.

Looks good

the front bumper I don't have any side skirts right now.

FYI the MS GT-C front uses the 15th an. sides skirts to complete its kit

Wow that looks great man! But yeah it is missing a lil' bit by not having the rear bumper. Just wondering, how much did it all cost in total. Like, kit plus fitment plus paint and all that stuff. And again it looks great. Are there any rims in the future plans?

Ok he said its 235 plus shipping for the rear set if we get 5 pair. If we get more the price could go down.
I just want to see who would be interested in this before I actuall take the time to set up a group buy.

so far I think this is the list.

1. rotarynemesis
2. jmo87
3.
4.
5.

He said he guarentees fitment and here are some pics.

The fitment of the kit initially was rough... but I think it was only because my fender was off a bit. After the body shop straightened the fender it went on near flawless, like the pics show.

The intercooler is the turbostreetfighter setup (dont think they're in business anymore... website doesnt work anyway?) Spearco core, custom endtanks/piping.

those rears are rad

I was wanting to just powdercoat the stockers for the time being (poor college kid)... but with those rear skirts i think i would HAVE to go aftermarket.

^UMMM Yeah they seem like a good site. Especially when they list the gtc front under the title feed's.

So what makes you think the rear they sell is the gtc?

Do they guarentee fitment??
Is anyone else interested in the group buy??

I talked to the guy from rotaryextreme the other day and he said that those smoke signal covers for this bumper are being fabricated and should be available ~2 weeks. He also said price should be ~200$.-B

So in the picture where the fender and bumper don't like up, was that due to your fender being on wrong? Is it a fitment issue with the bumper? I'm ready to order this IF it won't come out looking like that bumper picture you posted.

sorry, never got an email saying someone responded.... the fenders are straight, so it must be the bumper. But like I said in person it doesnt look near as bad as in the pic.
