GPSPORTS SMOOTHING KIT For S13 Hatch

Hi Guys, I originally posted this thread about this time last year, since then there have been updates and production has begun.

A little about myself. I am a 24 year old Part-time University Student, Substitute teacher, and Quality Control Manager for a Japan Motor Importer. I have been piecing my project together for just about a year and a half now, slowly sourcing my parts section by section.

Living where i do, S13's without a hole in the floorboard and/or frame are a rarety; I said to myself " If I wait for the chassis itself, i'll never get this project started" ; and so i did; without the chassis. I should have a website up within a month or so with photographs and pics of my project in the making...or lack thereof.

As you will read, I had been speaking closely with a local kit-maker who has up until about a month ago been finishing up his extended production on his Honda S2000 Kit in both 3-Layer Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass. (I will post pictures of his work; the same qulaity and fitment goes into Every kit he makes)


*Original Post*

Hi guys, i ve been speaking with a local Kit Maker who is making a mold of the S13 GP SPORTS Smoothing Kit.

They specialize in Fibremotive/Carbon Lathes for Cars only.

They're making a mold based on the original mounting points to keep the fit and quality to the companies highest standards.

They can make the kit out of Fibreglass or Carbon Fiber.

I'm looking to be the first to apply this kit to my Hatch.

Would anybody be interested in this kit, i have no intentions of using poor quality components for my project.

They're estimating a price of 800 for the 4 piece (Front Bumpper, Rear Bumper, Side Skirts)

Let me know guys, they're making nice kits for other cars.

Here is a link to he Gp Sports Kit

I would buy a full kit, depending on how good its fitament is. It looks good so far on the s2000, but more pics would be good. 700+ for a bumper is ridiculous!
