99-04 GA kit

[hot-bodiez]

We posted a thread a while back regarding a new GA kit that we are manufacturing. We got alot of well deserved $h!t for posting crappy pics. We have now completed the designs for the entire kit. We would like to hear your thoughts. The kit should go on sale around the first of May.

Looks nice.. A little more than i would get get but i can apreciate the look that is for sure :)

[Xidion]

i like it. Thing is it will be about $1500

[redfox]

and that hood looks very similar to the AED hood. hummmmmm

For 1500 the quality better be damn good!!!! :O)

[Xidion]

I would buy it if it wasnt fiber glass and it was a sure fit. After i spent about 1k on AAS and had to do all the mods i did to it for it to fit next kit i get better fit and be bade out of stuff that lasts. I got chips taked out of the AAS kit because its crappy fiber quality and have to repaint and refill the whole thing agin this summer.

if you ask me the kits for are cars being 1000+ is BS for what modds we have to do to them after they are made.

the hot-bodiez kit is not going to be fiberglass its an oem style material

We do plan on making a FUNCTIONAL RAM AIR HOOD. we like the look of the hood with 2 nostrils, but 3 companies already make them. (non-functional.) We are considering other design options for the hood.

We purchased did purchase a competitors kit to compare quality. I'm not sure that I can say which one, but we were extremely unhappy with the quality. during instalation, it chipped in several places, and cracked!! The passenger side skirt was also 3/4" too short!

Our kit will be a perfect fit. We sent out the factory bumpers and rocker panels to have them laser fitted. They map out thousands of points to obtain specs on the body lines as well as bolt holes, and the lines where the kit will meet the car. We will recieve the CAD files from them. We will then add the design, and send that directly to the cnc machine to tool out the mold.

This kit will not be stiff and rigid like fiberglass kits. They will be as flexible as your factory parts. This makes for super easy instalation, and no more cracked bumpers if it happens to meet a curb!

If you can install a factory bumper, you can install this kit yourself!
Kits also come with pre-fit aluminum mesh.

i will hold my opinion, and my money, till i see pix on an actual car...even a test dummy...something...

a drawing does nuthin for me either way...JMO

good to see.. none the less

Where are you located in New Castle? I'm looking for a place to install a kit and was wondering if you would install a kit on my 95 GA?

Sorry, we are not a body shop. We do have a retired body guy on board, but we did not bring him aboard to do installs! His knowledge and expertice are priceless!!!

so your not gonna do test fittings?

[TJ95GAGT]

Okay cool. Thanks anyays. Any place you may know that you can recommend? ?(sp)

Of course we will! Once the mold is created, we will manufacture one kit to test fitment. Once tested, we will create a second mold to meet demand. We have sold close to 2 dozen pre-orders, and we want to get them out as quickly as possible.

Yes, the 4 door model will follow.

[redfox]

cool, can't wait to see the finished product. We might have a winner guys, keep us updated.

[Xidion]

wow the OEM stuff thats sweet icant wait to see it done ! hurry up with it ;)

[03xGAxSE]

i like the side skirts the front, back and wing are too much IMO and the hood is alittle too familar.... man, i dont know, i wish someone would make the american tuner.... the RK is close but no cigar... im about ready to give up on any kit at all

[03xGAxSE]

i also noticed you have a 03-04 se doors and GT mirrors in that pic...

all year doors look like that if you remove the moldings

[TheLamonizer]

i kinda like that wing....kinda!

[TheLamonizer]

also...when do you expect to have/be done with a four door kit?

[Xidion]

^ ay what he said

[Pte Socks]

I still want to see a real photo. Dont worry 03xGAxSE, there are other kits that in the planning stages. Dman, I cant wait till next winter and I hope to god I can get an FX Designs shop in ontario to do my kit, I really dont want to have to leave my car here in edmonton.

[hot-bodiez]

The illustrations were modeled after my '99 SE. Those are the doors and mirrors that came stock.

The 2 door kits are expected to be ready to ship around the first of May. The 4 door will follow. Hopefully no more than 1-2 months after, but it all depends on how well the 2 door does.

We completely understand that everyone wants to see real pics of the kit. We will post them as soon as we complete the test kit.

[Xidion]

do you have a price range with this? Hopfully its not like a grand.

[redfox]

$1500 is what it says on his site

ive never seen the others with the moldings off sorry...

its just the little things that kill any kit for me...

[Xidion]

f that i would never pay 1500 for a gd body kit thats insane.

[eric99gt]

it looks nice....not really my style, but for the person lookin for the way aggressive look this is probably them. $1500 seems a little over the top. That's part of the reason tons of people so dispise aed. High prices. get it down near say 1000 and alot more people will buy it.

[TheLamonizer]

yep...1500 is way to much, i mean its a nice kit and all but damn.

[99GrandAMSE]

... this is not meant to instigate a "who's better debate" but aren't AED kits around the $1500 mark as well?

[VanishingImage]

no,they are around 1800,or 2000 after shipping,well on average thats how much AED runs people.So this kit is actually still cheaper by a few hundred dollars.

[TheLamonizer]

uhmm...is that 1500 shipped? because depending on where you live it would be the same price as AED would it not? lol now that i thought about it...500 dollars is a lot of money to get somthing shipped...

[VanishingImage]

I would say its $1500 for the kit itself,should be about or around $1700 give or take after shipping,youd be saving money on this kit,cheaper then AED.

[Pte Socks]

Well Id still an AED fan, I know it expensive, but its a nice kit and it fits way better than Andy's

[magyver]

the front is to ricer lookin, to many grooves and shape changes, the rear over the exhaust is box like, our cars dont have a square feature on them so it kinda looks out of place, i do like the side skirts... but kit in full on a car might change my mind...

[hot-bodiez]

O.K.
$1500.00 will more than likely include shipping.
The kit will also come with one pair of PIAA super LED accent lamps, your choice of brilliant white or intense blue light. (They are the lights that will fit the fog holes in the kit). (about $150.00 retail) Pictured below.
Also, the kit will come with prefit aluminum mesh.
Including the lights,mesh, material quality, shipping, and a 100% fitment gaurantee, I would say it is a gran-damn deal! You can decide for yourself this spring.
