If that's how you want to see it but we prefer a subtle and clean look. That only has a few hours of work in it. It's going to get tweaked and analyzed before we build a physical version so this project will be on going.

I have two parts that would be excellent for you guys to design.

1. Re-design this ghetto ass plate that will leak on all the manual trans models eventually:

2. Can you re-design the removable front grill on the FR-S and create a new snap in design that actually will protect oil coolers/intercooler/condesers from damage?

I would definitely pay for either even as a custom part if done properly.

The bumper likely won't be available until late this year since we're very meticulous. As for custom work, we can do anything you need, just depends on your budget. Shoot us a PM or email us if you're serious about getting those parts made.

I will PM you tomorrow about the grill and plate.

What material do you plan to use on the bumper?

It will be up to the end user. It will be created by a vacuum-bagged wet layup and material choices are fiberglass, carbon fiber, and carbon-kevlar.

I love the function first aesthetic of your preliminary drawing, look forward to seeing some legitimate go-fast aero.

God damnit earl I want that splitter already..... !

[Hancha Group]

Initial splitter CFD is now done and the results look good so far. The drag is reduced slightly (about 3%) and lift reduced significantly (90%). Still not making negative lift, so we're going to tweak it some more before we finalize the design

I love the design of that front bar, very s2k-esque and minimalistic. Will your front splitter work with the new bar? Also, can you give us a rough idea of how the splitter will be mounted in terms of drilling and mounting points.

Any ETA on the front bar?

Function will never die.

Not dead. Just slow moving since Earl and I have actually been moving and held up on designing/production.

any chance we can see this bumper made with ABS plastic? I suspect fibreglass will turn away potential buyers due to its tendency to crack upon impact. I'm sure I would scrape my lip going through a driveway at one point or another, would suck if it cracked just because of that.

I've talked to hancha via Facebook. They are busy guys. Hoping to work with them on sim testing for some of my stuff.

Stick with these guys, they are going to make it worth it.
