^ I'm pretty sure that's Ken's car, who I believe is one of the main people at Shineautoproject and the man we hear from on this forum. BTW- that part looks awesome. If I didn't have a wing I'd be all over it.

I'm interested in this piece. You guys make some great products!

I have one question about the carbon fiber verstion though. What size weave do you guys use?

I went in on the Group Buy of the Feed replica side skirts in carbon fiber from Rotory Extreme, and I want to make sure that your piece matches the weave perfectly. I'll take a picture of the side skirts when I get a chance so that you can see the type of weave that they use.

I saw some pics of your carbon fiber rear diffuser and it seems to be the same weave of the Rotory Extreme piece. But I'll still take close up pics of the side skirts so that you can judge for yourself. BTW, I may be interested in your CF rear diffuser as well (if it's the same weave).

If I haven't said it already, I'm a big fan of your products (and I haven't even bought anything from you guys yet! ;-)

Thanks,
Nelson

P.S. Plan on making any products for the '93-'98 Supras? I have one of these as well, a '95 TT.

P.S.S. How about '90-'96 300ZX's? I've got a '90 TT

From the pix, it looks almost like the Sanai rear lamp cover. However, that from what I can see. No circles

that's the beauty of it. See the leading edge of the black glass on the rear . . . . it protrudes out just a bit.



Now here is a pic of the stock rear. . . the tail lamps do not raise up off of the car, so to speak. Very subtle, and looks almost OEM. You have to know what you are looking for to notice a huge difference.

Close. We took the RE-Amemiya tail light cover and modified it. Not only did we cut the openings as one big opening, but we ALSO made it FLUSH with the body of the car, which took us a while to get down. The cover on the silver FD isnt even double-sided taped yet.

We can make it out of plain weave or twill weave. Our carbon diffuser is plain weave. I prefer plain weave over twill weave. Let us know what you would like. Our plain weave is starting to run out (that's why our carbon stuff is pricy) so let me know quickly.

For the Supra.....we've had some inquiries about replicating the Ridox kit. But it doesnt look like that will be anytime soon. We do alot for the MKIII community.

For the 300zx there's a kit called 2x2 im eyeing .

I was asked if this tail light cover would fit a 99 spec tail light. Are the 99 specs different from USDM version in terms of shape?

No, the only thing different from the two are the inner lens. JDM one has circles as opposed to the USDM large squares. I have the original Japanese tail lamps, and no difference in size.

A. What's holding it on? The RE Amemiya cover "clips" on without double-sided tape or screws and is almost impossible to remove. Other knock-offs have required screws or tape to keep them on.

B. Is there a clear section bonded to the cover where the taillights are showing through (looks like there's a black ring around the lights) or is it a simple opening in the cover that allows them to show through?

Thanks!

The tail light cover that you see on this particular was simply snapped on. The way its designed allow it to do so. The only parts you have to double-side tape to your tailights are the rings around the tail light.....to keep it nice and flush. No screws required. So it is definitely just like the RE-A's in the way it mounts.
