supra inspired kit on our MX? Possible?
Posted: November 4th, 2004, 2:31 pm
I've always wanted the AB Flug S900 supra kit, but well , i dont have a supra and way to much bones for the kit I think. I started thinking about the shape of the car and our cars, and its sorta close. so I wanted to know if anyone out there is interested in having something very close to this.

here is the pic of my car so far with some of my parts on it and some photoshop work.

the design works on the front of the cars, trust me, i've reworked my kit and id prolly add more accents as im working on it, i'm half way done the wide fenders and hood. Its a struggle to make them look cool, but at the same time i cant hanve them stick out too much away from the wheel well and outside of the wheel. The side well, thats the biggest challenge, and im doing a 3D rendering to test what the best way of doing it,whether its worth it. I don't want it to stick out and i dont want to cut into the doors. So..
I'm going to be working on the side door panelling over winter. I hope this whole thing to be done by april. And the molds should be done before May. I'm thinking of taking my existing side skirts and working on top of them to make the entire sharp line across the car and morph into the air dam.
There is a process to set up and create molds which I'd have to follow, which would be longer than if i were to make it only for myself, so i'd like to know if people out there would be interested in any of these parts
Wide Side fenders, front bumper, hood or even the entire side air dam skirt..
I don't know about the prices. Since average price seems to be $400+ Canadian , i'd decide when my parts came out. I'd basically want to brake even on the time and materials and paying someone to help me with this.
I also found a way to make the bumpers much stronger by placing a special galvanized pipe metal in between the 2 layers of fibreglass resulting in little more weight, but but more stronger result. Meaning if you scrape to hard or hit anywhere on the lip or certain parts of the kit it wouldnt brake or shatter, it would simply chip. In theory that is. This would be approximately $80-100 more to fabricate into the kit itself i think.
anyways, anyone interested or offer feedback..ket me know
