GP SPORTS SMOOTHING KIT For S13 Hatch

Hi guys, i ve been speaking with a local Kit Maker who is making a mold of the s13 GP SPORTS Smoothing Kit.

They specialize in Fibremotive/Carbon Lathes for Cars only.

Theyre making a mold based on the original mounting points to keep the fit and quality to the companies highest stanbdards.

They can make the kit out of Fibreglass or Carbon Fiber.

Im loking to be the first to apply ths kit to my Hatch.

Would anybody be interested in this kit, i have no intentions of using poor quality components for my project.

Theyre estimating a price of 800 for the 4 piece (Front Bumpper, Rear Bumper, Side Skirts)

Let meknow guys, they're making nice kits for other cars.

Any chance they could produce that upper spoiler on the top of the hatch? If you could ask them and possibly get an estimate, that'd be cool.

I'll be talking to them about making installment plans for the kit for Club Members.

Hi, i passed by the shop earlier today to get the latest heads up. They're rounding out their OEM Production 3-layer Carbon Fiber Replacement Parts for Honda S2000's. To say the least, it's better than i though it would be!! Good Stuff. They produce them in Lightweight Fiberglass and Carbon-covered Fiberglass as well!!

They'll be producing the kit for the S13 Hatch within the next 3-3 1/2 weeks.

Basically, the more orders that come in, the cheaper it will be. I spoke with them about giving members the option of installment plans, and theyre cool with it. Approximate price will be 800.00 usd plus shipping. That's about all the info i have at the moment. If you guys have any questions, ill relay it to them. Actually, ill get you their number of you'd like.

Here's a link to the kit that it will look like

To everyone who replied, i apologize for the wait.

Here is a link to the Honda S2000 i was telling you guys about.

***Note: This is all Hand-Layed 3-Layer Carbon-Fiber with Rolled Edges.

Carbon Fiber : Oem front lip, trunk and trunk frame, hood, fenders and front bumper

http://montrealracing.com/en/feature...ew&artid=15364

*** The Hood , Fender, and Bumper is all Carbon-Fiber.

http://montrealracing.com/en/feature...64&imgid=47942

*** The skeleton to the Trunk Lid is also done in 3-Layer Carbon-Fiber

http://montrealracing.com/en/feature...64&imgid=47944

Like i said in a few posts back, i knew the quality of their kits was impressive, but it's really top-notch. I wouldnt show this to you guys if i wasn't impressed.

They specialize in a type of Flexi-Fiberglass (i saw them take one of their TEG Bumpers and twist it 180 degrees, and it bounced back right into place.

They offer their kits in three ways

1. Flexi-Fiberglass

2. 1-layer Carbon-Covered Flexi-Fiberglass

3. Full 3-layer Carbon-Fiber with Rolled Edges.

** I picked up one of their S2000 fenders in carbon-covered Fiberglass, i was able to pick it up with one finger, for how light it was. Seeing how they Flexed the TEG bumper, it's incredibly strong and flexible.

They have rounded up their first production line for their Honda S2000 kits

They will be starting production on their S13 Hatch Drifter Kits.
Let me know what you guys think, your interests, opinions, and concerns on the coming production.

The kit is influenced by the link i sent in the 2nd post of this thread.

The Front Bumper is based on a rare Japan-only Bumper found on the race circuit (JGTC, and the like !!) ** Email me for pics (TND240@aol.com)

I have full confidence in their ability to build top-quality kits for our cars. From the looks of the S2000 production, i don't have any doubt. I have no plans to use poor-quality items for my project.

Let me know what you guys think.
TND240@aol.com or this thread!!

I'm talking with them to prodce Light-weight OEM replacement Front Fenders, Vented Hood, and Door Shells as well, just as they did for the S2000.

The kit will be approximately 800.00 usd plus shipping, for this type of quality, thats' not bad at all. I talked to them to see if they can offer us some sort of installment plan, and they're cool with it. All they need to put your kit into production is a 50 % deposit, with pics and info on your kit.

The more of us who are interested off the bat, the lower the price for the kit will go !!

I'll send you guys their phone # at his point, so that you can speak with them directly with any questions/concerns you might have. I didnt send out their number till th production is ready to start.

Thanks
Jd
