Stillen FR-S/86 Body Kit Design Contest

Just thought that I would share this with you guys. A pretty good chance to design your own and get it marketed and seeing your own design out in the streets. Let's see some ART.

Quote:

Noted aftermarket parts company Stillen is stepping into the FR-S fray by offering fans the chance to design a body kit for the hot new RWD Scion. In its “You design it, we build it” promotion, Stillen is encouraging interested people to visit www.stillen.com/frscontest, download its Scion FR-S body kit design templates, and make their own designs.

Specifically, the body kit designs Stillen is looking for are for an add-on lip kit all around the vehicle, something intended to be made from urethane (sorry, guys, no carbon-fiber or fiberglass work here).

The focus of this first-of-its-kind promotion is on design shape and features over technical skill, and Stillen will accept everything from hand-drawn sketches to full blown digital renderings. In fact, it is encouraging people to submit more than one design if they choose.

The submission period runs from July 18 through August 14, 2012, and on its conclusion the list of entrants will be narrowed to five by Stillen. Once the entries have been pared down the company will post the designs on its Facebook page (www.facebook.com/stillen) for the public to “like.” The design with the most thumbs up will get produced by STILLEN, and the winning design will be unveiled at this year’s SEMA Show.

The grand prize winner will receive:
- Their body kit design manufactured by Stillen
- 2 days lodging in Las Vegas for the 2012 SEMA Show
- 2 day passes to the 2012 SEMA Show for the unveiling of their design for the first time

Stillen has already begun development on items for the Scion FR-S, including a col-air intake system, cat-back exhaust system, big brake kit, sway bars and more. For its polyurethane body kit, it has decided to let the enthusiasts of the world develop the design it will produce.

It sounds like Stillen is saving a bunch of money not having to hire designers and then the "winner" never gets a dime of the sales... :thumbdown:

(I get this sort of thing all the time since I do work in animation and people trying to mooch free work never stops getting frustrating.)

Want to do this but I'm not a US resident, sigh.

I think a big "Thank You" from the community will be had when someone designs a more "extreme" lip-spoiler on the trunk.

Like so:

Because the TRD and FiveAxis ones are currently the equivalent of this...
