Did raceonusa go down under?

I remember they had a humangous collection of offerings...

getagrip · 03-29-2012, 11:19 PM

They made a one off hood for my friends SW20 mr2, after he got the hood he told me they ceased business. Just word of mouth though to my knowledge.

GripTerror · 03-30-2012, 10:37 AM

DAMN IT! They had amazing selection! And all the current offerings are GARBAGE from the other local sponsors.... we are left with basically d1 max hoods and oem hoods..... aaaaaaargh.......

UNITEDMASTER · 03-30-2012, 10:49 AM

Correct raceoneusa is dead,they sold a big lot of stuff to a couple local guys here who had no idea of raceone's rep, And now they are stuck sitting on a bunch of garbage ass body kits. One of the guys was blasting that crap for ssale on craigslist,last time i spoke to him he just wanted out,cause it was not selling

ixfxi · 03-30-2012, 11:51 AM

the same raceonusa that sold all those bullshit non-fitting aero kits?

ZenkiKid · 03-30-2012, 12:48 PM

It appears that they are gone.

I read a review where a dude bought a bumper and lip for his car from Raceon and the lip didnt even fit the bumper that it came with. LOL.

iamtheyi · 03-30-2012, 12:57 PM

Raceonusa is Extreme Dimensions isn't it?

Nope. They're different.

deolio · 03-30-2012, 04:08 PM

down under?

to australia?

ixfxi · 03-30-2012, 04:29 PM

damn

whats going to happen now?

are people going to buy high-quality aero kits? maybe worse, people might go with OEM aero!!! GASP.

wait, 240 owners are still broke.... whew.

bigs · 03-30-2012, 04:32 PM

^Chaser aero haha

GripTerror · 03-30-2012, 04:51 PM

There are just limited s13 popup hood choices.. they are all fugly as shit... The only hood that is nice is the koguchi one which costs 2000$+ once shipped + customs... fuck? I would expect it to be bloody dry carbon and exactly as i want for less than that so fuck off. If i lived in japan then it would be like what 700USD?

All of them have these ricerish scoops and openings that i just dont want on my car!

The only three benefits/things I Care about in a hood are = lighter, good vents for both cooling and reducing drag and the whole parachute effect under the hood. Looking ricerish is the last thing I want with some of these ludicrous hoods.

And I don't want an oem frp/carbon hood.

Brian · 03-30-2012, 05:12 PM

Are you mad or happy? Can't tell

GripTerror · 03-30-2012, 07:04 PM

fuckin pissed! #*(@*(

I want a good hood in the design I want... but paying 2000$ for a koguchi hood makes no sense.. but i need a good vented hood... no ricerish shit that seibon offers..

Although what they produced were knock offs or unique combinations of a bunch of originals... it would have been better than some of the seibon crap with ugly vents...

frustrating.. not dumping no money on any hood from seibon as they just suck ricer shit...

And tc sportline stopped making this fuck...

azndoc · 03-30-2012, 07:12 PM

So you don't like the dmax stuff, but you like the TC Sportline hood?

I don't get it.

Almost the same shit.

Why are you so mad Canada?

indeed. Good bye and good riddance.

GripTerror · 03-30-2012, 07:29 PM

It's not anywhere near close other than the vents being 'there' in a similar style. Plus the tc sportline one has the hood vents smoothed in the front if you observe. The rear hole is idioitic for any kind of sane person and that's what pisses me off more than anything.

It's a bag of dicks as far as I'm concerned:

We need some new frickin hoods...

GripTerror · 03-30-2012, 07:36 PM

There's gotta be a cheaper way to get the koguchi here in the states....

iamtheyi · 03-30-2012, 08:53 PM

lol what's wrong with the rear vents? Don't like being ballersawce like that?

This is a serious question. Why don't you like it?

irax · 03-30-2012, 09:04 PM

rear vents isn't ballersawce.... Ballersawce isn't even a word.....

With RaceonUSA gone, another company will come and take its place. It's only a matter of time.

UNITEDMASTER · 03-31-2012, 08:12 AM

Why dont you just get the URAS type hood vent & mold it in???? DONE now you dont have the rear vent.

BBurr20 · 04-03-2012, 06:53 PM

race on usa is the partnered with andysautosport.com or was

Well think about it:

Retail is like $750 I think. Just looked at it the other day (for no reason).

The hard part is finding a container connect. Which shouldn't be that hard if you are really serious about it. Actually disregard this if you don't live in a west-coast state.

It's going to be expensive regardless. Anything come from Japan is obviously. I got a 1-piece rear valence for like $350 shipped.

D-Max isn't too bad. Not everyone can pull off fish gills though.

RaceOnUSA has been gone for years BTW. Some company called "Carmotion" knocked off all their shit though.

cj30grand · 05-12-2012, 12:34 PM

Yeah does anyone know where I can get some s15 front conversion from now that these guys are gone

HyperTek · 05-12-2012, 12:52 PM

all these american based companies get their kits usually from the same chinese factory, but some from different factories , hence their color difference which is usually to signify brand. Usually made by whoever will make them for the lowest cost.. this affects the price of the product.

kits is probably the worst business you could go into if you create your own designs, you will surely get knocked off and killed unless you try to keep it exclusive and make sure your kits don't land in the wrong hands.

Matej · 05-12-2012, 01:22 PM

Raceonusa was the only place in the US that had 'G-Corp' aero.

HyperTek · 05-12-2012, 01:41 PM

i doubt they could actually get it, special order from special order blah blah

davinci · 05-12-2012, 01:42 PM

i need a garage s pop up hood. only aftermarket hood that looks good.
