Good question! We should all think about this one...
Having a hole in there will probably be needed if you plan on having an aftermarket exhaust (or even just a tip) down the road.
I think we should keep it, but it's up to you guys to decide.

C-ONE.. is my personal fav.

fmicle · 10-26-2009, 07:23 PM

Alright then, let's keep the hole

CtrlAltDefeat · 10-26-2009, 08:43 PM

How hard would it be to add your own holes/indents if there's no hole to allow a wide range of aftermarket exhausts?

lilredrocket · 10-26-2009, 08:46 PM

Some people have center exit exhaust. Have to consider them. I'm not one but they are out there

Sabretooth · 10-26-2009, 08:49 PM

^^^

Being one with a Center tip exhaust, it makes sense to do similar to what the Kaminari kit does, accent the sides but leave enough room for a normal exhaust or a center tip

PETERPOOP · 10-26-2009, 08:56 PM

i want no cut out on the rear bumper. yah, what sabre said. you're betting off with a universal design.

That's a good point. I will try to raise the bottom/center part a bit to accommodate for different exhaust positions. The only downside is that an extra rear lip may be required in order to be flush with the sideskirts.

So i guess you still dont have a somekind of ballpark on the price of the full kit without the hood...Just would like know I might just beable to swing for the full kit by the time you have them ready...

*tk-421* · 10-27-2009, 03:16 AM

How much are you guys willing to drop on a full kit? I hope to be able to post the prices within the next couple of days, but I would really like to know what the general consensus is first in order to try to match that price as closely as possible. TIA

I have no Idea what kind of price to put on this....Cause All i want is the sides/Fbumper/Rbumper..Seems like ive seem them on ebay fro 600.00 or so could be thinking of a crappy kit though...for like the 07-08's

*tk-421* · 10-27-2009, 11:33 AM

$300/bumper is not too far from my current rough estimate, as long as the current interest carries on to actual buyers. The big problem so far is being able to afford the actual molds in order to start fabrication.

What about the other pieces, guys? What would you consider to be a fair price?

gmodder · 10-27-2009, 06:59 PM

I would buy if you can do the whole kit FB/RB/SIDES for 6-700.00

fmicle · 10-27-2009, 07:17 PM

I've been eyeing some of the kits offered on www.bodykits.com and www.body-kitz.com, which range from $700 to $1,200, but I've had other priorities on the list so far, that's why I didn't get anything yet.

If the quality of these RBK kits will match that of the RBK spoiler (which I absolutely love by the way), I will consider getting the RBK set and I believe $600-$700 is a good place to start, for the whole kit.

My biggest concern with such big parts is fitment; and in this case I'd trust an RBK set more than the stuff mentioned above. I've seen pictures from the RBK spoiler development process and I'm a believer

A full RBK kit has 8 pieces (maybe 7, depending if the MI hood will be made by me or not), whereas the kits you guys are mentioning are only 4-piece kits. The price will be a bit higher because of a few factors, namely number of pieces, materials involved, consumer demand, and mold fabrication costs.

Thanks for the props! I absolutely guarantee that the parts will fit perfectly.

frownonfun · 10-27-2009, 08:15 PM

i don't think a kit including a hood and spoiler could realistically be less than $1000. i'd expect a hood to be at least $300 on it's own. and the RBK spoiler is $175. that's close to $500 for just those two pieces. then you tack on a full 4 piece kit and you are talking at least 1k. and that's not including the eyelids. they don't seem like they'd drive up the cost too much though.

lilredrocket · 10-27-2009, 10:54 PM

I would say atleast $900-1000 for the 7 piece kit and tack on another $300-400 for the hood if you make it.

Sabretooth · 10-27-2009, 10:59 PM

I think the car is gonna look very busy with all these installed at once...

Could push beyond tacky.
