wow, those filled in wheel arches on the le mans car are hideous!

And the rear diffuser on both of the previous posted pics are win in my book!

[BrianHarte]

Look bro, there is no need to attack the parts I want.Is it your car? no.It is mine. So stop hating.

[Extreme Dimensions]

Wow, this thread has certainly gotten interesting since I last posted. Like I have said in other threads, if we have enough interest for any given part, the chances of making it is greater than something that only 1 or a few people like. So... if you would like to see a part made please start a separate interest thread for that part or parts and let me know about the thread so I can keep an eye on it and help you out. Otherwise, in the meantime, I am just trying to gather interest on what parts that we currently manufacture that everyone would like to see made into a special or group buy in order to prevent 20 people from posting up how ugly a kit is because the front bumper has too many holes, lol. I know that it will be impossible to please everyone but I promise that I will try my best to keep everyone as happy as possible! Just let me know if anyone has any questions. I would be more than glad to help you out!

[BrianHarte]

Yea.

Can you make the parts I asked about.

Full FRP 180sx hatch with the window part all glassed in?

and

Rear wheel covers.Maybe the rear over fenders, but the wheel opening glassed in.

Let me know

I bet more people will be interested.

[Dittoz7]

USDM Kouki Lip!

You Guys Would Make A Killing Since Their Is Only One Other Person (Not Company) Making Them.

[BrianHarte]

Yeah right....

[Dittoz7]

Prove Me Wrong...

[BrianHarte]

No way am I making a whole new thread for them.Give me a break.more advertising... for free?no sir.

dittoz. get real, man.GO write up a draft of all the people that are willing and ready to buy an aftermarket USDM kouki lip in fiberglass. GO ahead. I'll wait.

[Dittoz7]

But Window And Wheels Covers Would Do Better?

[BrianHarte]

I wouldn't know.I haven't tested the waters yet.

I didn't go around saying they would "make a killing".

Look bro, the only thing you have going for you is that avatar. It looks funny and I laugh in my head every time I see it.

[urcaptnspeaking]

Look bro, there is no need to attack the parts I want.Is it your car? no.It is mine. So stop hating.

isnt that what you just did to people wanting "cheap" parts for THEIR cars???

[Pento240sx]

Hey Extreme Dimensions. Would you like to sponsor me

[white90esex]

I think hes pointing twords the point that cheap, poorly fitting, ugly as chit parts are ghey.... unless on a cavalier. Then they are rad.

I personally dont like BH's idea of the covered rears on an S13 hatch cause imo it would look hideos. Im sure he would somehow pull it off though.

I also dont like the look of that ED kit that retard first posted. Chit is hideos. But seriously, to add injury to insult. Ugly kit PLUS it fits like its made for a differnt car? WTF.

Why are 240 owners so god damn cheap. Holy funkin chit.

Seriously. Your gonna pay 500+ for that ugly ash kit. Save for like 2 months longer if you have to and just get an Origin or something reputable at least.

[datsun2401972]

You're crackin me up man!

[PapaSmurf2k3]

But Window And Wheels Covers Would Do Better?

+1

A Kouki lip would sell in far greater quantities than wheel covers. I'm with Dittoz on this one.

like what is extreme dimensions 3 dimensions is about as extreme as it gets here on earth.

Not attacking you at all here, but playing the devil's advocate.A dimension in itself could be extreme, such as the length of something, the angle of something, etc. I dunno, to me their name makes sense for a company selling this type of stuff. I can see what you are saying though.

Extreme DimmensionsPar your request, here is a thread on rear bumpers:zerothread?id=40950

Feel free to email me with any questions. I am VERY serious about buying.

Cause if you rip off your front bumper or if it gets damaged it would be cheaper to buy another 'cheapo' bumper than to get a new Origin bumper.

Replacement knock off bumper: $150 (eBay, ED, etc.)Replacement brand name bumper: $300+ ( Origin, Version Select, Uras, etc.)

Not everyone is rich, some people have to make due with what they can afford.

[BrianHarte]

this is what happens.

THere are original parts makers that design and produce their own parts.

Then another company comes along and STEALS that original company's designs and mass produces them.

The cheap-*** owners who want to spend their allowance on car parts instead of something worthwhile, will go to this THIEF company (ED) and buy the cheaper prices Fake parts.

eventually, the real company who put the hard work and money into designing something will go out of business.

So, you cheap *** owers WILL bring down the "scene" you try to participate in.GREAT JOB GUYS.

[tramp_drift240]

Brian, you bring up that "taking down the system" thing a lot when people get to talking about legit vs aftercrap parts.

but it doesnt really make much sense, because there are still a lot of people just like you who buy the legit parts, and the original company needs a LOT fewer products sold to make the same money that some cheap brand makes from knockoffs.

reasonable argument, either way, just not a very good one to bring up every time people talk about real vs knockoffs.

ALAS, i do agree with BH and white90, because most of the people on this forum are fairly cheap, be it with wheels, aero, suspension parts.

but to each his own, i guess.

[mattblancarte]

the original company needs a LOT fewer products sold to make the same money that some cheap brand makes from knockoffs. .

One of the brand name firms would have much higher development and manufacturing costs per unit than the knockoff firms. Revenue is different than profit.

It's also driving the price value down for the bigger guys, too.

It's fair game, though. The higher price point isn't for everyone... it's the same deal in this little market as it is in many others.

[tramp_drift240]

truth.

but, you also have to think about the reputation of the original companies that make quality products. the thought of brand loyalty/ quality control is passed from one BH to another BH.

it'd take a LOT of really cheapass car enthusiasts to put a company out of business, based solely on the purchase of knockoff parts.

not that im supporting buying crappy stuff or anything, but srsly.

[BrianHarte]

To be honest, I EXPECT all the real companies to go under.

Too many cheap stupid kids in the game these days that want to play "big" but want to pay fot shet parts at shet prices.

There is no pride or dignity.

Bak in the day, there was slim to no parts for 240s. We all wished there was more.

Now there is TOO much. shethole companies like this that just rip people off left and right.

I don't have respect for them or for the people that buy from them.

[BrianHarte]

Most people just think..... fuk it. I can buy this fake part. whatever. I'm gonna blow it up anyway. Who cares.

The thing is, nobody really thinks about what it would be like if THEY were in the position where they CREATED something.... and then it gets stolen and ripped off and the customers are too stupid to care.

[tramp_drift240]

i think one BH just passed the baton to a new breed of BH's

ive always seemed to dislike knockoff or cheaply made aero parts.

reading Brians posts about knockoffs and stuff has not only strengthened my dislike for fake aero, but also any other cheaply made/knockoff parts.

[BrianHarte]

if I plant the seed, hopefully it grows....

ANYWAYS BACK ON TOPIC

I want my wheel covers and full solid rear hatch.

[mattblancarte]

I want my wheel covers and full solid rear hatch.

I'll place a bet that no one will manufacture that for the 240...ever.

[Dittoz7]

All Very Good Points...

Now, How Do You Guys Feel About Replica Discontinued Parts?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Its one thing if it is a blatant ripoff, meaning someone smuggled out a print, and gave it to some Chinese place and they started cranking out parts for pennies. It is another if a company starts fresh and has some 3rd world nation make it, and it is another if they take a general idea, change it, improve upon it, or maybe even make something slightly worse just to make it easier to manufacture.

Generally, if a company HAS been ripped off, and they know it, they will advertise the difference in the products and bury the sorry son of a ***** that tried to rip them off. Sometimes, if a company is making a product, and yet absolutely sticking it to the public on the price and/or quality, someone else will come along and say "pshh... I can do that for half the price". Its called capitalism, and choice. Just think of all the people that the semi-cheap companies get into the scene, that eventually buy better product in the future, when that person grows up and starts making more money.

All I'm saying is- the market usually has a way of working thins out. If a business goes under because someone undercut them, then they made a product that was overpriced, overbuilt, or underadvertised.

[AZhitman]

This thread makes my arse leak.

First off, BH, spare us the "concern" over the "original" parts manufacturers. Seriously. I certainly comprehend your mission, and respect where you're coming from, but the truth is, it's a cheapass car. I own one, you own one, we all own one. Real value (minus the 'drift tax') is minimal.

Parts are parts. I mean hell, we could all gripe and complain that someone "ripped off" Rebello when they decided to make forged KA rods. Whatever.

It's capitalism - Build a similar-quality part, and build it for less.

I doubt very seriously most guys are slapping "OG" JDM aero on their cars in most drift series, especially if they're the ones footing the bill. Like someone said before, it's just gonna get ripped off, so who cares?

I've had expensive "original" JDM aero that fit like crap. I've bought Origin stuff that fit better. Had a Seibon hood once, the VIS I replaced it with was nicer. Had some Vertex parts that were simply not finished "right", but my buddy's Version stuff had a nice finish. Go figure.

On a side note - Notice which companies are actually supporting the communities we belong to? Where are the "original" manufacturers? Hmmmmm....

Anyhow, back to the original question:

If you want those kinds of parts, you're on your own. Cereal.

I've been asking for someone to make a hard tonneau with twin nacelles (a la Solstice / Sky) for a year. Bottom line is, I'm on my own. I'll build the damn thing.

To think a company would build "side skirts" for an S-chassis is pretty ludicrous - Even you have to admit that.

Besides, how you gonna show off your flushiness?

The solid hatch thing has been done, and there's still a few floating around. In fact, I owned one for about 3 weeks (sold it to some local ricer). Kinda makes the hatch look like a Fiero / MR2, with flying buttresses and a short, flat vertical rear window.

[BrianHarte]

No no, I don't want THAT hatch.I want a SOLID one.... just SOLID.

Imagine they made a frp hatch... smae shape as OEM, but I want it SOLID. no window.HOT.

and wheel covers would be hot.
