For you two and the others that hate RaceOnUSA, sorry that your guy's stuff never fitted right i don't see how that happend. Everything that i've bought from them has fit perfect. They do say have professionals install them, Usually kits come with guide marks yet i have yet to follow them. From RaceOnUSA to Origin they are not exact. Just like who builds the motor or trans is how good it is not the parts.

Glad to hear man, atleast you didnt waste your hard earned cash. As for mine, Ive been in autobody for 10 years and Ive install kits from A-Z atleast once. These guys products are one of the worst I had to work with.

If any of you buy FRP from these guys, please take my advice and have your parts baked to reveal any air bubbles in the fiberglass before you start anything or your going to end up very upset.

i want a panel to do a sunroof delete kit. basically remove the sunroof assembly and install a CF piece to cover the sunroof hole. it would be really easy to make. i have an extra sunroof glass you can have for a donor piece.

i want to lose that extra weight because i want to go tracking and i dont use the sunroof at all.

There was another company that made a set, which retailed for over 2000 dollars.

I doubt that one was sold.

If you have the commitment to put down 2000 dollars, more power to you. But what kind of company would put in the money and time to sell a couple a year.

Make full rear-seat delete panels, and full door panel deletes!!!
If you build it, they will buy.
Maximize the go, and will put on a show.

***The SC is heavy, and needs your help! CF replacement/deletes are where it's at, and FUNCTIONAL***

So let me get this straight, our parts "don't fit"... yet you're furious that we didn't make parts for your 240sx from your suggestions for 7 months. Hmmm?

Your "shiz looks better than ours", that's great, do you have your own spray booth that you use to layup carbon dust free like we do? Do you have pictures to back up anything you're talking about? We have the most pictures of our products than any other body kit company in the world on our website. You can see the quality of our carbon and fiberglass parts on our site.

The reason we took suggestions and didn't make anything, because we didn't have enough workers here making carbon on site. We just hired and trained another worker so now we have some more time to make carbon parts. As for fiberglass parts for the 240sx we make more than any other manufacturer. Also, some suggestions for parts for the 240sx would take a significant amount of time tooling which we just didn't have manpower for at the time. I also own a SC300 so it makes more sense for me to use my car instead of borrowing a customer's 240sx. Once we are comfortable making parts for the SC interior, then we can expand into 240's etc...

I would, along with other SC owners who are building drift SC's. We all know our cars need to go on a diet, and if they don't make it, then they defintely won't sell them. In all business it's hit or miss, but you gotta try.

"Honda"... "Kids" are the worst, for starters, and we're grown.

10 years in auto body you should know that you can put a kit on one car and it will fit fine, put it on another of the same type of car and it won't fit. I'm in the fashion industry and I sell garments ranging from $5000-$100,000 and some times they need alterations. So get over it, and do what you do best, make it fit.

That's what i'm talking about!

Like I said, i'll buy them and you should think about rear diffusers also.

What is this FRP talk? I dont know about you but I thought this thread was mainly to create interest on some carbon fiber interior pieces for the SC. If their body parts do not fit for what ever reason, take it to the Aeroparts Fitment sticky. A wood dash kit is totally different than a front bumper. Lets stay on topic please.

Agreed.



I would personally like to see a carbon dash kit made for the SC professionally. I was going to do this myself but did not want to waste the money on materials just so I can mess it up. Also a carbon pillar for the door would be a good idea also.

Sorry, we cannot manufacture dry carbon at this time.

The molds we use for carbon fiber can also be used for frp, so anything we make in carbon will also exist in FRP, just incase you are interested in a FRP version.

So are you done with my interior pieces yet?
hehe, haven't started yet, but I will be taking them off the SC this weekend.

My post wasnt anything about fitment...It was about how Raceon shouldn't waste his time trying to produce something that won't sell.
