351mach11647545510 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Jeff, Have you guys ever entertained the thought of ever making your "own" corvettes or camaros like a yenko saleen nickey type deal? I think that would be pretty sweet but im sure there are alot of loopholes involved that make it tough. same thought. I look at it from a business perspective. How many kits do they sell and do you have enough demand before hand to make it worth the risk/investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use my body kit so the car is unique and then add your TT kit and possibly an auto conversion or whatever else you want to do and call it an IPS "xyz". I wanted to do something similar to the C6RS body "Kit" in dry carbon fiber to be a little different. This guys fenders (Front and Rear) with a different hood -- maybe a replica of the C6Z Carbon: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5215/5536540869_056508476a_z.jpg a different front bumper with a larger duct like this: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5294/5536545017_9900e67c18_z.jpg and little more mild rear valance like this one: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5215/5536566943_1b091a7261_z.jpg I love these fenders but they are pretty unique to the RS: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5138/5536546827_82faee9953_z.jpg Then I would paint them all a flat/pearl white to end up looking like this: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5017/5537130002_782159fb7a_z.jpg Oh, and to save some money on the interior, I would go with these seats: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5017/5537173822_6a84915813_z.jpg I almost forgot the wheels -- Volk TE37's: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5132/5536605375_a63a5d577b_z.jpg And the "Special Edition" paint job would be this: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5175/5536596459_ac34e56c27_z.jpg Edited March 18, 2011 by Turbotrio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 NO^ concentrate on performance mods. so many people differ in their tastes, and what they consider to be 'too much'. making a 'universal' body kit and being able to sell it to more than just a couple people will NOT work imo. you will find many people saying "i like the front, just not the rear, or not the fenders". getting the masses to say "that is EXACTLY what i want my car to look like", will not be an easy thing to do. building a performance package that appeals to the masses is much, much easier--i tell you i want "X" rwhp, and you mix and match the correct parts to get me there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Agreed ^^ 100% Also the General lee vette is SOOOOO wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonda Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hot look. Agree on the comments about the interior. They make some unique parts but overall that is too much money for what you get. Hey, do you have pricing on the LS7 eForce kit and tune yet? Been curious about that versus a twin turbo setup. Power/drivability/price-wise.
