A lot of imports don't have as complex a piping, you can buy 90 degree elbows and straight pipe kits on Ebay, no problem and get it done in a day. The RMM piping has a couple of acute angles and precise double bends to fit around the bumper brace. So it's a little more involved work than your average Honda install.
My point is, I wouldn't want people to think that an average DIY person can build up this system in their garage. It's not a weekend job if you have to design and build this piping.

But yes I had never actually seen the way those pipes bend around the bumper supports, so it is a lil harder, and you would have to have some double bends in there.
Still could be done.

Clearing 2001 tailights can be done too, but sometimes it's a bit more work than you think, right?

Lol, very true.
It can be done, and it will hopefully now that we can get a tool to mold the acrylic in the shape of the reverse lights.

Good luck with that. I'd rather bend pipe than plastic.

Yes, but the best would be if you were to just copy the bracket from an existing RMM kit. A good machine shop could do it easily.

umm very interesting. i wonder what kind of interest is on the forum as a whole for the kit. for sure not a whole lot of people (percentage wise) would be on the FI on their gs4, but would be nice to see who's the few
maybe it will just end up being the already exisitng few kits floating around
