one other thing, I wanted to mention is that the later incarnations that have on there (the one's based on the RalliArt) look a alot like a drift kit.....which I guess might also have some appeal.

Well we can meet the demand, we can make 2 different kits if possible (if Slimm is up to a job like that). Maybe just different fronts but same ss and rb. Just need enough interested in both.

I can see how we strayed away from the "Walker" style (GTP bumper).. I would really like the kit to look more like the Walker with less of the bad features of it(big intercooloer spot). Like an improved "Walker" bumper

No, haha, but I'm guessing it came out pretty funny looking.

Edit: Could this be it?? The one and only?

And one more important thing... if you are making a rear bumper, DO NOT forget to make a space for the license plate (including space for the license plate lights).

Would anyone be interested in Z3 fenders like Accolade is making, but these would actually have cut outs.



Like those, but actually vented instead of fake.

The reason why I liked the first one as aposed to the others mostly was because It flows well with the lines of the car. I dont like these kits with bad cornors that dont match the car.

When you extended the front lower it looked too long and I didnt like it (Made that hole in the center look huge)

I liked the 2 peices in the front cornors of the bumper that went across the holes. it helped with the flow of the bumper.

The side skirts need to be flash yet clean and flow with the car and the concept of the body kit.
These skirts flow well with the car and the body lines...thats the aim.

Dont do things just because all teh other manufactures do them....make it clean and different.

I liked the rear that someone posted on page 2. It looked really cool. Hard to tell from that picture though.

Thats the 1 thing I dont like about any other kit on the market...it seems like they either forgot about the back of the car or they got lazy. I want a really nice kit that is clean flows with the car and doesnt have peices that look like OEM replicas.

Not sure if this was the feed back you were lookking for but its what you got.

IMO there is no point of doing a body kit that doesnt flow with the car (pretty mcuh every one out there except kamanari, evo 7 conversion) or someone else has done.


if you need a place to find insperation go to http://www.veilside.com/veilsideusa/frames.html
click aero then mitsubishi then go through their evo kits....sooo nice


good luck and keep up the good work.

PS those pictures of that kit on the yellow car (un painted with a waivy front bumper) .... not so good looking, but hey to each their own right.

We all want a wide body kit.... but who can afford one? If they ever make one it will be at least $1500... not including paint and fitting (for people without a garage)
