Hey Guys

I'm a new member on this board just wanted to say what's up, and find out the following if anyone would be interested:

I just wanted to let you know, I'm talking to a shop that might make a kit for the S13, 180sx and S14, similar to GP Sports or Vertex.(For a fraction of the price. Probably $1100USD) The quality will be as good as GP Sports if not better. (Guaranteed better than VIS, or GTP stuff.) That would be sick, obviously my car would be the test pilot for the S14. I will let you guys know when it is complete. I just wanted to know if anyone was interested. Also to do some market research for the S13, or 180sx. For the S13 and 180sx they will have to get atleast 5 pre orders. I am paying for the S14, so the labor is taking care of the mold and stuff. You guys can also email me at [email protected], the thing it won't be finished until Mid-Summer.

Let me know if you guys have any comments...

P.S. Not a commercial post... New Member found out about the site about 2 months ago forgot to join.

Oh yah here are some pictures of my car last year.

Thats one nice car! I especially like the color. Do you think that company you're talking about could make a front lip VERY similar to the eastbear front lip for S13's? I just love the simplicity of it. I would buy one and I'm sure many S13 owners out there would too only if the price was reasonable.

here's how it lookshttp://www.east-bear.co.jp/aer....html

Thank you. If you want to make the lip you would have to get at least 6 pre orders for the lip. I would need to know the original cost of the lip, and make sure it is worth doing it. However I personally thought the GP sports Bodykit G4 would have been a bit more popular, no?

I'm just so attracted to that lip. It's exactly what I'm looking for. I have no doubt there are many people out there that would buy the GP Sports Bodykit. It just comes down to personal preference thats all.

It is very sexy, and it can be done but is it really worth it. I mean how much does it cost regularily? I can still get it done for you, but you would have ot find atleast 6 guys that are willing to buy it. I already have one in Canada that wants the eastbear lip. Email me for further details.

What type of material would it be made out of? I'm not really into fibergalss lips. I have a fear that they will hit something on the freeway or on the road and crack. It's listed on East Bear's site for 29.000 I suppose this means 29,000 yen = $245.00 US. That's not including shipping and finding an importer for it.

It would be made of Fiberglass, but from what I am aware of the quality is really good. A guy with an Alitma got his kit made from this shop, and its all the rave. He was driving at about 55 MPH hit a fox in the road, and the kit wasn't even cracked. I have seen it first hand I like the quality compared to a lot of kits I have seen. Even compared to my C West front bumper it is tuffer.
