Re: Hey New Kit Idea
kuruption oh so ture with ur last post...cept personally id like lil flares for our car id like to see it, and see it done well. just realy lil flare though...a lot slimmer than the supra...oh, and those rims would be nice!!
about prices...i should really say, its gonna be higher than many of the kits we can get. id expect something a little lower than ms front. but, still...definitly not a bad price but i dont see many people here paying that much. me, i know i would definitly. yes the first few will be higher price...unless a group buy is done and they get enough people they are looking for. otherwise theyll stay a little higher until a good number of sales have been recieved then theyll drop.

Re: Hey New Kit Idea
2.5mx3, amen! I'm not a fan at all of the aggressive look for MX-3s. It's a smallish car and it's not a world beater, so it should probably look it's part. If the kits didn't have some things jutting out of the front bumpers, but that's my opinion. I still appreciate the time and effort others put in for their cars, but on mine.... keep the curves and lines as was originally designed.

Re: Hey New Kit Idea
OMG thats what I'M TALKIN ABOUT!!!
imo.. coolest kit for the supra! that would look sick as f*#@ on an mx3!!
1. i totally like that 3 headlight thing molded into the body.. this dude down my street did it to a del sol. totally custom job tho. but it looks so cool and it hasnt been done much!
2. those sides look SICK!!! i love em!! that whole swoopy hole thing that i liked about the combat skirts, but these look better.. and they would look better on our cars!
3. yes, i agree with ALL of you people who said that u dont like the agressive combat ****.. i'd personally like to see a kit like this! the front is kinda like a cool mix between the UK-spec front, and the Erebuni front. lots of air for the engine.. and looks clean as can be!
i'm with u guyz in trying to create a kit like this! lol.. and i wish those dudes making the blitz and evo style ones would also do something like this. anywayz, talked enuff. good idea i'd totally pay $$ for one, just not $16 g's HAHA

Re: Hey New Kit Idea
see the thing is you need to shape the projectors to look like they belong to an mx-3. when i see that pic i still see supra because the supra hatch and doors resemble ours. maybe move around the projectors a bit and put a hood in there.
anyways if you guys love this kit you should contact abflug in japan and just buy the kit and retrofit it onto your own cars. i doubt there will be anyone in the groupbuy because thats what happens everytime. the regular front/rear/sides/fender kit is already too expensive for us.

Re: Hey New Kit Idea
my suggestion is lets stick with just the front bumper and headlight replacements and cut the flares, sides and such off the deal and replace them with other designs that will come out cheaper.
Re: Hey New Kit Idea
i think that's a veilside fortune 03 kit , not the abflug.

Re: Hey New Kit Idea
true.. veilside kits are *damn expen$ive. and i'm agreeing with kuruption here.. the front is tight, and isnt too agressive at all! and creating such a thing would be simple because it looks a lot like the UK-spec bumper, with the fog light holes. it would just have to have a modified middle part to look like this.
and actually, about the headlights, i'd prefer stock light housings with projectors.. but it would be cool if somebody made a 2 or 3-holed cover like this one as an accessorie!
the whole wide body thing is too expensive as most ppl said, but the front bumper is doable! i'd say, if somebody created it, i would buy it, along with many others. anywayz.. i'm gettin into this way too much! lata

Re: Hey New Kit Idea
1-why is everyone soo afraid here to spend extra cash on QUALITY PARTS. im not trying to start something but if i do so be it...im sick of people wanting quality stuff...for low prices. thats the honduh world for you and look at where those inexpessivlly done cars are...not to say look for a good bargin here and there but dont be afriad to spend some cash on your baby if your a big enthusiast.
2-the projectors would more than likely be off the stock design so dont fret. i am one that likes the stock headlamp shape.
3-flares if molded right look great...and surve a purpoes when done correctly. so each to their own if they want them.
4-i think a re-designed nose...slightly, more of some tweaks on the nose to get a flow with the mx's lines...
5-will this happen...idk, companies usually look to strike the majorities taste to turn a larger profit hence a minium on g/b as you all should already know...so, if we find a company to do this, i have NO PROBLEM if veilside wanted to cuz i believe id be like the 3rd with a veilside kit in my area...and id wear that proudly cuz veilside is QUALITY(although many of their designs i dont like)...but, whomever could do this, one with a good rep and would make sure this fits perfectly...more power to them. it would take someone to ask...and possibly donate a care to them some how some way.

Re: Hey New Kit Idea
because people on this board aren't willing to spend that much money on their cars. all they want is a new kit to work with, but are limited with money. this is why famous and experienced tuners dont choose the mx-3 as a base car, not much to work with and there are more parts available for other cars. a new looking kit with not the best quality usually suffices for your average everyday tuner.

Re: Hey New Kit Idea
I think that price is a huge factor in deciding what goes on your car. I mean, if it wasn't, everyone would have the very best of everything and there would be no difference between anyone's cars. I kinda like not being filthy rich. Makes me have to work harder to find stuff for my car that I can afford, and I appreciate it a lot more when I get it. I'm in the market for a kit my MX3 right now and I can guarantee that price is going to be a huge factor.
Cheers
