    Sup peeps! Ok, I'm going to give you the quick and dirty and if there's questions, throw em up and I'll answer them as quickly as possible.

    Ok, so wasn't really satisfied with the bodykits I've seen on the market, since when you go to a show you see like 200 of the same thing. So, I decided to design my own bodykit resulting from various inspirations. The kit is code named Destati. I've always read through threads tC peeps arguing about what side skirts were the best so with this design, I chose to just do the front and rear bumpers, allowing for any side skirt to be added as the person would choose. Now I've been in contact with Extreme Dimensions who's seen the design and has stated if I can get 20 peeps who want it (i.e. I tell them to make 20 kits from the mold), they estimated:

    20-29 peeps - $1,000/ complete kit

    30-49 peeps - $900/ complete kit

    50+ peeps - $850/ complete kit

    Made out of Duriflex.

    So here's the photoshop renderings:

    So yeah, there you have it. I would expect that if we got more than 20 peeps down, the price would drop respectfully. But yeah, let the thread begin.

    Thats cool. I know some people will need a bit of time for cash these days so this is kind of open until the total needed is reaced.

    lol.. no problem bro.. you edited out Phil.. but you still left SCTC in there.. lol :p

    i'll say i do love the center exhaust and most of the shape of the rear... maybe a little big.. but certain parts i can paint a different color to subtle it down.

    can't say i'd be able to afford something like this either.

    Wow bro, I really must have been tired, lmao.

    Yeah, if you had the right paint scheme, you can tone it down or make it loud. It's all in how you wanna do it.

    I don't like the 4 fog lights on the front. I think that opening in the front would look great with a stealth intercooler. I don't like the small lights on the lip though. I think if you were to hit anything, they would be fubar'd in a second. If it weren't for those small things, I think it would be a very sound kit.

    The only reason I went with 4 fogs is because of the light produced. I drove in an infiniti with 4 fogs and it was like night and day. That, and have seen a lot of tC's in Cali lately driving with the factory fogs and VRD's. And the small lights in the lip are from Oznium and won't get messed up, but you don't have to install 'em so that portion is optional.

    Thanks for your input though, greatly appreciated!

    Well spread the word bro, and as for the cash, I know all payments and exchange of money will be going through Extreme Dimensions so if you wanna hit them up and ask 'em about that, I'm sure they'll work with you.

    Well, the main thing I'm looking at with the lights in the lip is that sure, they look awesome. But are they practical? I just think I would freak out and stop after hitting any kind of slight bump to check the bumper. I'm not saying that I'm not interested, just letting my input be known.

    Oh its cool bro, totally respect your input...not trying to say otherwise.

    As for practical, I know what you mean. I just got the idea from this:

    But we'll see how it turns out. Thanks again for your input!

    Fresh new look. Are you reusing someone else's CF lip. With the exhaust being a center exit, can one still utilize the stock exit point? The reason being is that few can afford this kit and fewer still will be able to afford the added price of have a shop reroute their exhaust which can be expensive depending on the setup. If this kit is a go, then you might look at producing a center exit axle-back to help seed your market. What is behind the covered vents? Are these optional to be used as vents?

    Redneck4csa, yeah the superflux LED's from Oznium are solid bro...some serious gear.

    navylife59, You should still be able to utlize the stock exit point with the rear bumper. There may be a little notch that needs to be made depending on how things fit, but other than that, you're good. I can ask Extreme Dimensions if they'd make an exhaust for this kit, but I don't know how that will affect the price and most likely will be a separate item. To this point, the kit is a go, just need 20 peeps to go from picture to reality.

    Covered vents, those are the tires you see through there. Just a design que I liked and put into the mix. Those can be removed if you want to go from deflected air to more air intake. If you have a cold air that goes down into the fender, that would be ideal.

    Plus that would work out great if you wanted to do a ram-air brake duct...
