getting a consensus togeather for my Group Sales - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #1768 64 posts Started by boosted_K2
Im planning on making the following this summer and need a consensus as to what you guys are interested in, so the ones that are more popular will take precidence when making the molds. please just state in order 1 through 5 which youd like to see made the most to the least (1 being most, 5 being least), also if you would buy or not. no prices have been set but the whole goal is to make them more than reasonable, if they arent I wont even bother. so neglect pricing.

in no particular order:

- USDM taillight covers (similar to gangs jail for JDMs)
- Celica "dragon" emblems
- Toyota "taurus" emblem (some of you may remember these from c.net, they are the toyota emblems with the horns)
- JDM style rear bumper extensions (and if i get lucky i may be able to pull off making the front ones too)

if theres any other small app similar to those listed that youd like to see made please PM me your ideas and ill see what i can do! thanks!

I think if you can, make us some nice extensions >wink.gif>.....I was thinking maybe something kinda like a plain sideskirt even, or a front extension that goes all the way around the front end, or back end. I know theres some guy on here from denmark that has german-made sideskirts that look really smooth......thats what i have in mind but i cant remember his name >rolleyes.gif>

i feel ya... im not really sure whats all possable for us to make at this point. my grandparents have been in the mold making business for decades, but oddly enough have never ventured into automotive parts so we're probably going to start small and if all works out move into larger apps... but im trying not to get inhead of myself as i did last time i brought the subject up >wink.gif> so we'll see how all these parts go. i want to test the durability of the fiberglass parts before selling and moving into large apps like sideskirts and a front lip. but your ideas are so noted >smile.gif>

Thanks K2, your effort is appreciated by all of us >biggrin.gif> No big rush, just take it one step at a time. BTW, let us know about those emblems, i might be interested once theyre made.

looks like we're all set! the 1st prototype for the dragon emblems should be ready for me to test fit in a few weeks, once they're all set we will be moving on to the JDM extensions, then late spring/early summer i will be out at the shop custom making the taillight overlays! keep you guys updated!\

EDIT: also when i am ready to sell anything ill put up the actually buying thread in the buy/sell forum! ill let you know here when i open it up.

I say JDM taillight overlays! WOOT! >biggrin.gif>
Ok, i have a proposition for you, K2 >biggrin.gif>
I just read Coomers post today about how it doesnt look like the 94-95 clear turn signals are a go.....so is it a possibility that you could make those, or is that not the kind of material your grandparents deal with, and everything?? Just a suggestion, i bet you could make a good profit if you did make them >wink.gif> Cmon, i know you wanna!!

PS- Niepas09, i see you got JDM's in your sig......when/where did you get them??

that could be very possable... i just need some1 to send me a stock set of 94-95 turns. what i could do is peel the amber part from the housing, and make a clear version of the amber piece. i could do it, but id add it on to the end of my list, so far its looking like the order is

dragon emblems
JDM rear extensions
then i could do the 94-95 turns at the same time i do the taillight overlays.

EDIT: so if it goes as planned were looking at mid-june to early july for those to be available ill try to do everything ASAP, but like i said i wanna make sure the materials we use work fine and the quality is good, and doing that takes a lil time.

I got them yesterday (3-15-03) after 7 long months from Roo.
So will the bumper extensions fit a coupe?
not originally, but hopefully i can get a volenteer to have em molded to a coupe... thats a lil ways down the road though...
