Last time I talked to Ken he said this kit probably won't happen, but.....

Full kit
1.) DHahlen
2.) mrpilot ^need the hood also
3.) the one
4.) Gixx6
5.)*dEamus*
6.)RX7stylez
7.)Oppositiontim
8.)racinghart
9.)Sarusanj
10.)

Partial Kit (list what you want)

1.) Jaiyurai - N1 Undersweep in CF or FG
2.)NoMorePoison - Front fenders
3.)zumspdrx-7- front fenders
4.)ferragame - CF Canards (already have the RE N1 bumber and CF undersweep)
5.)Matt_FD3S - N1 Bumper, CF Undersweep, CF Canards

I just priced this kit out from Japan and.... If Shine doesn't make I'll bite the bullet for the real deal, but I would prefer not to. haha I can get the 05 model front bumper and the GT-AD kit here for around $3k, but it would be nice to add the canards and such for the same price for a replica kit.

I guess it never happened? Anyone know if the JKL copy of this kit is any good. I know guy from Tapped racing put one on his TT winning car.... But of course pictures can hide things such as build quality, thickness of the fiberglass ect.

Last I heard, JKL was MIA. Many members posted about parts owed, and money taken.. Found some good reviews, and poor ones on fitment..

JKL is till in business, however the only thing they are actually producing and selling are aluminum door handles.

As far as I researched, the body parts they actually made was good stuff. The problem was after the initial run, everyone put in deposits and they never made any more body parts.

For what it's worth, if you go to their website they do have an authentic RE N1-05 bumper for sale they claim to have in stock. And they have made good with all the parts they've actually had in stock already made.

Just to make everyone aware. You cannot use the fenders without the matching side skirts.

Meaning, if you remove your OEM fenders, and just buy the RE Fenders, you will expose the bottom half of the inner body of the car forward of the doors.
The side skirts mate up to the bottom of the fender and finish out the side of the car.

FEED fenders are a full bolt on replacement. RE Amemiya fenders are not without the side skirts. And no other side skirts will work with the RE Fenders but RE skirts.

Someone would have to buy it first and then ask Ken to clone it. Even then, he's a pretty busy guy.

I had a feeling this was wishful thinking. It did seem to come back from the dead without warrant.

The demand is definitely there but there are probably more profitable ventures

TheCrazyAzn made a great point. I try to explain to people who have called me and asked me about this particular project. It's a very nice and unique setup, but it's an all or nothing type of kit. You either get the whole thing or you don't get any of it. These types of projects are not ideal for us from a financial standpoint unless there was a TON of demand. We usually want to see at least 15 buyers. I don't see 15 on the list and half the people on the list probably aren't interested anymore. For such limited demand, we would have to charge quite a bit for this. I'd say pretty close to $3k for a full setup.

How about just producing the front bumper then? It looks like there might be enough interest in that.
