CIANCI how about start a poll/vote to make this concept idea to put into work. Kinda like what Shine did before making final production of the Amuse front lip. I need a new front bumper for the z, badly

That's actually really close to a rough concept our designer wanted to build...

Lets start a list of people interested for this bumper and go from there.


GB Price would be $450 + 155 s/h in fiberglass.

I would reread this thread from post #2 on... no one is looking for a front bumper but people are looking for:

Diffusers(Front or Rear)
Hoods
Fenders

You have about 10 people that would buy a diffuser, fender, or hood from you guys but you insist on trying to make something "easier" like a front bumper that only 2 people have showed interest in?

You guys really need to rethink what your doing here... if your going to ask what people are wanting and pick something that the minority of the people in this thread mentioned, why bother posting? Your going to have another flop like the 599 Ferrari front bumper.

It's the truth though... I would've bought a JGTC type hood from them but since they don't want to produce one, I bought an ASM. We need fender options.. period. The only one's available are pretty tacky... I just saw a member(Jermy's) with an Asuka and it's a sick piece but they went out of business(as did Mastergrade). They made stuff that was worth buying.

Picks of Jermy's car... you mean to tell me that you don't think fenders are marketable?



We(being the community) give you gold and then you think this is the next big thing?





From 2 Sub 30 post guys(no offense guys... but we've been waiting for fenders, hoods, and diffusers for some time) that haven't been on here long enough to know what would really sell, that's not smart. I personally wanted a CF front lip for my Do Luck but I cant get 10 people to buy one... ok I get it but some of the idea's here are gorgeous.

Strafe's SL2 front bumper is the only real successful custom setup that's selling(they also failed big time on the Gemballa style bumper) and I don't think you guys are going to reinvent the wheel with new "fresh" styles.

It's infuriating to see these type of threads that have awsome potential that turn to crap... I get excited, let down, and pissed all in the same thread.

How about GT wings? Like C-west, Voltex or Ings+1?
They would sell like hot cakes!

- Well let me explain that we have a R&D 350z car. Making multiple items isn't a problem we just need enough interest in each item to make them.

- Again, we do not want to make any copys of other peoples designs. If it is a race car item that wasn't ever produced by another company on the open market that is ok.

- It is a lot easier for us to make a new hood and or front bumper because we already have fiberglass templates at our shop. This makes the design process a lot easier for a new product.


Add your name for each of the items you want to see:


A. Undertray Diffuser
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.


B. Front Fenders (apx 1") Wider with vent
1.

C. Front Bumper

D. New hood

We actually already have a GT style wing that we sell for the mitsubishi. We would just need to make new base stands for it.

If there is enough interest we could make new base stands for this main spoiler. It is a true inverted airfoil.

I'm in for wider front fenders, would prefer no vents at all but will still buy w/vents if that's what more people want as long as style is clean/subtle like Cheston's or the above pictured one.

Hood like the Fontana Nissan race car of MRC would be SICK! Please make sure it clears 07/08 HR engines.

Asuka which have gone out of business... it doesn't have to be an exact replica.

I'd like the vented fenders to be similar to what Cheston proposed or 300hp did too. I'd actually be happy with the Asuka set up as well, if it is 1" wider I'd get the Nismo rear fender flares so I think it'll look good.
