i dont think he is going to tell u, i think hes going to sell them ;P
so is that basically how its going to look or is there something else your going to do to or just paint???
Just because he tells everyone how he makes them doesn't mean people are going to not buy them. Most people are dumb and couldn't make them in the first place.Plus people like me aren't going to buy them in the first place. I'll just figure out on my own how to make one. Just like justin's bars. Everyone could make them, but who wants to make them when they can buy them. So it doesn't matter if he tells how he makes them.

Wow. It looks big, so it might seem out of place on a car that doesnt have a full body kit...
Is it staying white, or will you paint it different colors?
Alas, no more 3gee. She was a wonderful car and will be missed..
No more 92 hatch either! I go through cars too much.

from what i remeber the fenders were all custom fitted with fiberglass on there, and yea i wonder how its going to look with out some sideskirts and a rear lip, or are you working on those too??
it will look fine without the sideskirts and rear lip if painted satin black. i'll work on the sideskirt and rear lip later on in the spring once the weather gets nicer, but for now im only focusing on making these lips.
the prototype you see is just the beginning. it's basically a male mold, and from this, i will make a female mold. then once im satisfied with the perfect female mold, i will change the prototype male mold again like adding side vents, etc. then make another female mold with that new change...and so on and so forth. from the female molds i make the copies, the "kiddies".
as far as painting goes, im not painting them. too many color combinations to worry about. i'm just going to primer and seal them and it's up to you to paint it however you wish & color match it to your 3gee.
like the saying goes, a magician never tells his secrets....that's why i will patent my designs. after that, anyone can copy all they want so long as it's for their personal use and they don't sell them. however if they steal my design and make profit off it, then there's gonna be some legal issues.

at first i said "wow thats gay" but then it was like "if i dont get one im gay"
id for sure buy one but not till i can get the whole set front bake and sides and a wing lol fo sho
are you going to be making side skirts and rear bumper too??
Hmm, i dont know about vents. Maybe you can mold one with vents and one without. Unless its really nicely done and it looks almost stock...
I duno. Looks good though.

That lip looks sick as hell iceman... I'd definately have to raise my car a few inches to prevent the snow shovel effect, but I'm definately interested in your work. Glad to know there is someone who wants to make a lip... instead of those nasty kits with bad curves and spikes and shtuff you can get your pantleg caught on. ^ ^ nice design
Re: Lip Kit - guaging interest
ok i'm just getting redundant questions i've already answered over and over, so i'm just gonna shut up till my next progress update.
people need to learn to read the previous posts before posting. it's almost as bad as people not learning to use the search feature.

UPDATE 1/28/06: "Lip Gloss" - Painted it metallic black...
Looks good
I can't read the signature rules so MrBen deleted my signature.
looks pretty good
i need to see it with the same color bumper, it does look good.
zach
i second that notion ^^^
Nice lip, I like it. might be a little too much if u dont have side skirts and rear bumper but i dont kno, hard to tell. I'd probably buy it as soon as u start selling them. Bodywork isnt' my sepcialty so I'd have a hard time trying to replicate it.

It's not what you drive, It's that you drive what you got! I LOVE MY 3Gee!
came out looking really good
All the bullshit set aside in this thread, that isn't a bad deal for $150-$250 price. Looks nice, how many orders your looking at to make it happen?
.
It will be for sale soon once I gather up enough cash for more materials. Once I start making money and get the ball rolling, the process of making these things will be much faster for me since the money for more materials will be there. I would make the side skirts and rear lip in no time. Even custom front fenders, LED taillights, Projector headlights, a nice wing like a Fiero GT style, and Vented hoods like an Evo style hood...which I'm planning.
Id be interested to see everything you just mentioned. Good luck!
Catch me if you can!
looks goods wanna sell the other bodykit iceman pm if u do
blah, i don't need a specific amount of orders to make things happen. i'm making them and selling them no matter what. you guys can count on me on that.
that looks really good, you should consider making one that doesnt sit as low, basically a little less profile for those of us who just want a semi agressive lip outside of the 1st gen teg lip.
I know if you made one like that (lower profile) id be highly interested in buying one.
That still looks good though, really clean. I like it.
