Ronin FD widebody - relaunching!!!
Great news from Ronin Speedworks!
Over the past two years there have been a great many folks who wanted this albatross of a widebody we created, only to have us respond that we didn't have front fenders available. We're happy to report that the new front fender molds are DONE. The rears we had sorted some time back so we're finally ready to offer the whole thing.
Quick reminder of what all the fuss is about...
*Pettit rear flares above, our width is similar but flows smoothly without seams.
We think it's the only widebody that both allows packaging serious rubber and compliments the classic FD lines.
Rebuilding these molds has been quite the process. We just about started over and cut up set of factory fenders in order to get all the seams and flanges as perfect as possible. We then grafted on a shell from our first effort and optimized all the shapes and details, even how the taller vent flowed into the door lines. Then we commissioned new molds... it all just took a great while longer than we anticipated. This one has been a labor of love and stubbornness, simply because we dig the FD that much. We've already quietly changed the status on the wide body on Ronin Speedworks from "out of stock" to "pre-order".
To celebrate the re-launch, for the first month of sales we're going to offer the first 10 orders a $100 discount to say "thank you" for your patience. The coupon code to apply in the shopping cart will be: "AtLongLast"
and the deal goes through October 31st. It'll apply whether you're ordering the full kit or just front fenders to complement the rears you purchased prior.
