Awesome work, you think you could do a head on rendering like this?

i've had kits on both my last cars. cool for show queens, but always get banged up and start looking like crap on driven cars. a lip kit works if you dont lower it too much, but thats about it. no more kits for me. just lowering and wheels.

So, WoW, what's the latest and greatest? This is still one of my favorite bodykit designs I've seen, is it going to become a reality?

Is it possible to make two tones color with black bottom line surrounding instated using same color?
I feel that will make the contrast better.
Any plan or EST to make it real or it just the concept.
Thanks.

Unfortunately for me i don't have the connections that most people do so its taking me much longer to get them produced. But i am in talks with several people right now trying to get my concept out, and will only be offered to confirmed FT86club members at pretty sizable discount.

So no EST right now, but you can be damn sure my kit will hit the streets. With all the other kits that came out in the past few months, only a hand-full truly hit the mark with this car. IMO it was too early for some bodykit makers to make something for this car, they should have sat in the design and concept stage for longer.

When i do get a contract going, you guys are going to be the first to know since im thinking of all you guys when developing this kit.

Otherwise i could start a kickstarter to hire people to make my kit so i don't get raped in my personal financial account, if i get enough funding id offer the kit for dirt cheap.

-Polyurethane
-any hard body parts will be FRP. ie fenders, diffuser
-Will likely never offer carbon fiber unless i develop a hood and/or trunk.

If you are serious about this and want help i have some opening and offers to make this happen. PM me if interested.

lol yeah i had my renders out before anyone else did including the rocket bunny. I don't think anyone really stole my ideas, just probably had the same ideas as I did.

The difference is, there is maybe only a hand full of kits out there that are any sort of cohesive. To many are a mish-mash of lines and curves and offer way to much complexity to be truly great. At least I did a private survey of FT86club memers to get the feel and shape right. So the design isn't entirely mine.

Did I miss the FRS renders somewhere? All I'm seeing are the BRZ.

Lots of cool info in this thread so its a very interesting discussion to read.

Thanks

omg, just stumbled across this. looks amazing! why isn't this getting any flippin' attention?! your kit fixes the BRZ's ugly stache problem while still retaining its own unique look. I would be all over this if I had a BRZ right now. PLEASE tell me this isn't scrapped
