Haha, nah man . . . just save 2350 bucks and get it from Japan like i am

 

meh.. I work on fiberglass as a side job.. and there is no way i'm gonna pay premium for fitment issues that i can fix in an hour.. oh well.. re-am kit it is

 

Of all the kits to make a replica of the burnout kit would be it. I am sure if someone made a mold they could sell a few of these replicas. I would want just the front bumper though as the flares, and rear bumper don't look that great.

 

Is there anywhere you can get just the front bumper and not the sides, the rear, and the flares? If so where? and are the flares part of the kit?

 

shame on u guys. contemplating copying a company's own design. well, they know who to go after if it ends up on ebay.... design something new! go for something all your own.

 

$5 says they dont have a US copyright.. .. anyways.. if you were to sell it.. it owuld be smart to alter it a little..

chris.. i ordered an re-am kit from you last week.. so i wont be buying this kit anyways

 

Yeah, i'd buy a replica!!! But i'm saving for the real deal because not to many in the U.S. have it right now . . . www.memoryfab.com said they had one FULL kit (front,sides,back, AND FLARES) imported into the United States. Can't wait til that person pops up in a mag or here on the forum

 

buy original. the fd deserves it

 

The total kit is $2600 - how much do you think you would save with a replica that retains most of the orginal's quality (assuming the orginal is a quality product to begin with, which we don't know, because no one that I have seen has had this kit so far)? Sheesh.

The most I could see someone saving is a few hundred dollars, which could easily be wiped out if the body shop has to do extra work to make it fit. There was a thread around here where a female forum member was paintng her car orange and had some kit ordered. The pics showed pieces that DIDNT EVEN COME CLOSE TO FITTING. Looked like it was for another car, it was that bad.

I use to not be bothered by the idea of replicas - and honestly, some original body parts for the FD are ridiculously expensive, and deserve to be undercut - but after playing around with FG, it boggles my mind why some companies make blatent copies. If they have the skills to copy, they certainly have the skills to make something orginal. Heck, alter the original parts' lines a bit, add some different detail, whatever.

 

huh? don't you sell all flavors of replica's?? I hope you were being sarcastic...

 

LOL Yes, ALL FLAVORS.
