Hey Boys and Girls,

over the weekend i meet a person who has a company established in china which make plastic molds of all sorts of things, this includes car parts yess bodykits...

now i was thinking how much intrest is there around here in me getting some kits done in hard plastic like OEM ones and not fiberglass? but the catch is that they won't be as cheap as fiberglass moulds, as plastic is alot more expensive to mould then fiberglass.

i just wanted to see how much intrest there is in me putting the effort into getting these kits done in plastic

I think there would be a massive amount of interest in plastic Nismo reproduction parts, and perhaps a few of the more popular kits like vertex.

Its nice to think that these might end up being done, but in my experience it will end up being too difficult for them to bother with

I spoke to them again today regarding moulding body kits, i have been told that they can mould anything, as they are moulding front, rear bars and etc... for toyota, fiat and other car companies.

i am really tempted to invest in this, so i will keep everyone posted and let you guys know how things go. If i do decide to go ahead i will make a few moulds of VTX kits, NISMO, WORKS9, FINAL KONEXION etc.

would also depend on how it would fit up to the car aswell...if it fits up nicely and you do go ahead with it i'd be interested.
