Talking New Fortune kit been work on

As many knows first Fortune kit is just too wide in the rear and too boxy look. We are making the front look more sharper. The rear is about 10CM narrower. More pics soon.

Interesting, it looks like you are making your own since I see another bumper underneath the new one...

You're going to get some heat for copying the fortune kit - I believe the design is copyrighted.

The lightening engine bay is not to my taste...but looks well done

The copyright laws only go into effect if they were building this kit to sell and make profit. You can copy and duplicate any body part. Just don't sell it and you'll be fine.

To the OP, that's a lot of work that shop is doing. Can't wait to see the finished product!

uhm the OP owns evo-r I'm sure his sole purpose of doing this is to sell it.

From all of the negative reports about evor-r products and service: I doubt he gives a rats *** about pesky copyright laws.

The Fortune RX7 kit holds a patent.

if he sells the modified kit he is making veilside can't do anything about it because it's technically different. i took a class on patents and all that crap.

I doubt that. Maybe you mean a copyright and trademark?

Certainly not a patent as a body kit is not patentable. Patents are reserved for INVENTIONS that are not obvious to people who are in the know in that field, they must also be a novel idea.

I know that you are not implying that when it comes to patents... As tweaking a patented invention does in fact infringe on the patent.

Someone needs to chill out with the caps, the exclamation points and referencing rx7club members "haterz." And that's not a car, it's a shell.
