Damn. That guy has some talent.
I was thinking the SAME thing!





On another note.... I'd like to see some subtle lined kits... Maybe a SLIGHTLY more agressive 99 spec kit.. Just an idea. I'm not too big on swapping out parts on such a perfectly designed car... I leave the kits for the Civics... Cause for them, it IS an upgrade.

well said.





So this guy is going to draw them up and you will be able to produce them from these "plans?"

Here is my suggestion for a body kit.



It should follow the lines of the car, the C-West Kit is cool and all, but the FD was designed to be "round" and the C-West Kit isn't round, so make the kit a bit rounder in design. Smooth curves, not edgy.



The front should have enough space to accomodate a "large" FMIC or VMIC and should have vents large enough for two oil coolers.



Side skirts should be visible and look integrated with the front and rear when molded to the car. Something that stands out like the FEED Type 2 R skirts.



The rear bumper should look something like the INGS+ one but with more curvier or rounder sides. I love the middle holes of the INGS+ rear bumper but the sides of it just don't follow the FD's lines.



What would sell me on this kit would be a front bumper, sides, rear bumper and rear wider fenders that look like they belong there.





I would also love to see something like a front bumper that has a CF undersweep like a lip spoiler, CF sides that would pick up where the bumper leaves of, and CF sides of a rear bumper (like the RE Amemiya Diffuser's vortex generators) to finish things off. Like a strip of CF that goes from front to back.





I feel like a kid in a candy store.

Hell yeah. I was hoping someone would do a CF 99 spec lip... Then I could get the CF sides and a rear diffuser...





I know skunks made them... But they are covered. I was shooting for the real thing... Maybe if he clears them and wetsands them to look solid...

I currently need to replace my front bumper cover and hood. If you can do something very similar

to a CW front bumper and scoot or re hood- I'm in.
