Default Junction Produce Body Kits Interest?

Hey 2IS owners!

I've been talking to Junction Produce a little bit and they said that if they get " a lot of inquiry suggestions or requests, we will be happy/glad to make a kit for ISX50."

their kit for the old M45

Junction LS430 (US car):

More body styles here:

VIP is the next thing pretty much, drifting has gotten this big, this is the next step!

Any interest? Comments are good too... Junction Produce will view this thread regularly to see if any interest.

i think i would have to see a rough sketch of the design first. Also, are those prices correct? ~$4,500 for a full kit? Do they paint it and come to your house to install it for that price?

i just found the "Junction Produce SPORTS" Designs which, in my opinion, fit the personality of the isx50 much better. + better pricing as well.

Junction probably would not make the kit for the IS, but JP Sports would be one's to produce a kit....which are lip kits. Junction makes the full bumper kits with door panels, but for the large VIP platforms like M, Q, LS, GS. I'll speak to them tonight to see if I can push it along. If I get a rendering, I can set-up a groupbuy.

personally their kits remind me too muchh of some yakuza design, however, i'd love to see more kits for the 2is as i'm in dire need of a front/rear replacement due to dents dings and rocks ripping through the poly

get your facts straight. ~4000, that's full bumper replacement kits, and also include all the door caps as well. so that's a lot of pieces. if you look at the jp sport say for the ls430, it's only 1700 retail, that's cheap.

Suure! I'm up for any kit, Just lemme be the prototype car.

Man, a JP kit would be hot. But I think more a sport lip type kit is better. Obviously the IS is not a *bippu* car.

Is it not a fact that the kits are over $4,000? All the pictures that he posted are of the full kit. And if you actually read through the thread, or at my other post (which was RIGHT after the one you quoted), then you could see that i mentioned better pricing for the Sport designs...

Yeah the sports kit would be much nicer. I don't think the shovel-fronted look of the VIP style Junctino kits would look good on the IS anyway

Guys remember there are two steps here

1) Got to get JP to design and build the kit if there is enough interest (what this thread is about)

2) The GB must be set up through Carson Toyota in this case (they're the only authorized Junction Produce dealer on Club Lexus at this point).

Whoever sells the kit at the end is another story, but like DaveGS4 says, my whole point of this thread is to get interest and to show Junction Produce that there is a market for ISX50 kits. They will make a kit, as long as we get enough interest. My buddy at Junction Produce will be checking on this thread regularly to see the process. If you don't like their kits, then don't bother posting here because it's not meant for you.

i will be interested in more bodykit designs for the IS. Looking at your kits for other cars, I think you guys could give a subtle and great looking kit for our cars! Go for it!

Come on! I'm sure more of you out there want to see more kits out for the 2IS, especially from high end companies!

Junction Produce makes some top quality products. I almost purchased a set of JP scaras for my car, but i decided to go with volks instead. I'd definatley be interested in a body kit for the IS.
