As the title says. I will start making my own kits. Don't have a company name yet or anything and it will start kind of how JP started: a car club with one of a kind custom kits. My first cars will be the Q45 94-97 (being that there aren't any kits available neither in Japan or the USA) following an areo kit for my GS 300 (1st gen) that's still in the drawing board. I have been researching VIP cars since I got my GS and most likely I will only do these models for now, following with a Cressida sport kit and also an Infinity J30 Aero Kit. All of my designs are going to be original, maybe taking cues from different companies but not too much. So I started already with a one of a kind bumper for my friend Damian which has a Q. Have a look:





Specs:
Zenki President Trunk
Zenki President Tails
Unknown JDM 3pc Wing (Got off yahoo auctions no stickers or anything identifying marks)
Insurance High Grade Copy for the Zenki G50 modded by Kidzik to fit the Kouki
(sigh to the copy)
Work Euroline DH 19x8.5 +35 19x9.5+38 Low Disk
Falken 452 225/35/19 - 235/35/19
Painted amber corners

Since he frequents fukuoka quite a lot (his GF lives there), he tried and called companies about a kit for his car and the only company that used to make it was Insurance... with production only reaching 31 kits. Other than that, he had to either change his front end to an older model or a newer model. When he posted this pic on mixi.jp (kind of like japan's myspace) a lot of ppl (including several VIP Clubs on the site) flipped out to see his front bumper asking where he got it. So, yeah, I got kind of proud.

Even though that kit is available, when I start the mold, a lot of changes are going to take place. So it is a start. A fiberglass company will do the molds and the bumpers, only thing i have to provide is the design either in fiberglass or foam. So, why am I posting this here? I need a lot of ideas. Pictures, photoshops, anything. I am not trying to start something big or make loads of cash and crap. I do this because I like it. I earn enough to feed my familly and have a home. Drifting and body work are my hobbies, so that's why I want to do this in a minor scale. Anyways guys, feel free to give me any ideas or support. Not monetary, but just input on what you would like to see out there.

 

Just an idea: a front lip for the 1st gen gs. I think there are alot of people that would want just a simple, clean front lip for thier gs.

 

Yeah +1 for a front lip and matching sides and rear.something clean and elegent looking.

 

that's my first thing i'll do. I'll try to do something in the line of Devils Euro. The TTE lip IMO is quite ugly and doesen't flow with the car. But I hear you guys. I'll post designs later on this week and you tell me what you think.

 

LIP KITS!!

 

Lip kits are lip kits........ true Bippu's go all out! dont go cheap (imo)

 

KIDZIK!! i need a kit for my drift car (the GS) and i have a buddy with a G50 with an RB25det in it that needs a kit also. mega exposure for you.. PM me for the details, I have been looking for something different.

 

i would like to see a lip kit that fitts the usda front bumper.

 

lip kit would be better for me as well. I like to keep it simple. Not too fancy, not too plain, but simple and clean.

 

Considering the average cost of a 1st gen is probably under $7k, a full body kit probably would not be the best use of effort. I vote lip kit to compliment the US front bumper. Nothing too flashy, just a nice splitter.

 

Kinda like the TTE for the second gen. Nothing too flashy, just something subtle, but fills the front end a bit.

 

Definitely a Lip for the usdm bumper

 

Suggestion: Take your photos in the sun. It is hard to tell what things look like in the shade.

 

OK guys THIS IS A VERY GENERAL IDEA of what I am aiming for. First, this is kind of the inspiration:



Now this are some chops. Simple ones to have an idea of what the mold will look like.


I know i screwed up but just look at the big picture


Now, the rear bumper.... dang, the line coming up is roundish and the rest of the car is angled. I want to keep the same slanted line of the rear bumper and it is HARD to mock something up. I have a cardboard mock up of the front and the sideskirts but the rear is very hard to get...

 

dude, I love your sig pic. Got any more pics of that car?
