Default Re: Replacement body parts & body kits

I am not sure if people noticed the appx pricing in the first post?

Also, I met with another vendor in the business for over 13 years. They do a lot of specialty stuff for car companies and custom houses. I met them through a business acquaintance.

They do pieces in a fiberglass/composite mix that is very durable yet inexpensive. We had a nice discussion and will come up with some design studies I will present on the forum. We want to keep them close to stock but very Euro. The look will be as though it came from the factory (only nicer).

I appreciate some of the design suggestions and actually was headed a similar direction. Trying to get a little Ferrari and Lambo influence to front, rear and side.

I am surprised at the lack of response to my request. I can only think it has to do with the previous "experience" with side skirts...

If this happens, it will be mostly an investment by myself. I have worked to build a good reputation on this and the CICCI forums. I would like to thank the hundreds of members who have bought badges, grilles, overlays, sills etc. and will not do anything that would damage that trust.

I just need to find out if there really is a market for these things. Every time I talk to a potential supplier they tell me "....there is NO Crossfire aftermarket demand..."

I don't believe that, but I need support to convince them (and me a bit as well if I am going to invest thousands of $ in this).

I am seeking less opinions (we can save them for the design stage) and more of a feeling for demand for these type products.

Thanks again...
