GROUP BUY FOR BODYKITS!!!! Read this -- awesome deal!
 
Yes, you read the subject of this thread correctly.

I talked to the owner of Eastend2K, the company that made my custom rear bumper and shaved my front bumper...

You guys don't know how lucky you are that I'm willing to GIVE UP MY CAR for who knows how long, but I figured I would have wanted someone to do this for me when I was looking for a kit.....

The bodykit will fit the 1990-94 Protege (and 95 Protege S in Canada).
The front bumper will fit the 1990-94 323.

If we can arrange a group buy of 10 people or more, the price will be approximately 750$US for the full 4pc bodykit.

The kit will be the combination that got the biggest response online:

R34 Front bumper:

Black Widow Side skirts:

Black Widow Rear Bumper:

The cost of the rear bumper alone (for those who had shown interest in getting the rear only) will be aprrox. 300$US -- I can get these for you quicly.--

The bodykit will bolt on directly as it will be custom fitted to my car in the shop. However, just like any other bodykit, it should be installed by a professionnal.

The material is called flexiglass. We tested my rear bumper for flexibility.... I was able to twist it around like a pretzel and touch the bottom lip to the top edge. It is very flexible.... As flexible as urethane and as light as fiberglass.... Trust me, the quality is amazing.

This is the best opportunity you will ever get to have a full bodykit for your Protege at such a price. There may be more made later, but I definately can't garantee it, and it won't be soon. If you guys don't take them now, I won't listen to you complain that there are no kits for Proteges, because here it is.

Let me know, we want to get started next week, so I need confirmation from everyone. I would feel better being able to give him a deposit, but we can talk about that later. Right now, I just need 10 of you to say yes to give him the go-ahead.

Please also spread the word to any Protege owners you know that are not members of Protegeclub.com. We can make more than 10 if the demand is higher.


ALSO:

Carbon Fiber hoods will also be available for 560$US each as a part of a seperate groupbuy that also has a minimum of 10 people.

CF trunks are also available at a special price if purchased along with a hood, but no prices have been established so far.

All prices exclude shipping.

WTF $300.00 for a f*%king bumper what kind of jack ass do you think I am thats Bullshit a big steaming pile of Bullshit!!!!!!!

Thank you!
Just for the record I dont say this much but

Very good deal! How much weight do you think it will add to the car?

Pro1GT June-5th-2003 02:03 PM

Do canadian residents get cash at par?? lol j/k
I'm definately interested wouldnt mind seeing one of the finished products first tho...
-also guessing that the bumpers will not use stock supports??
-what about front room for an intercooler (BPT upgrade)

G-Man June-5th-2003 02:44 PM

SOOOO SOOO SO SO SO DAMN INTERESTED!!!!
I live in ontario, would you happen to know how much shipping would be from where they are made to here?? Come on guys, we need 10 ppl . You dont know how long i have been waiting for a nice kit to roll around, and here it is!!
will he make it if we dont get 10 ppl?

Bizob June-5th-2003 07:55 PM

Roach, I'll see what I can do about the hole for the liscence plate. It's in the mold, so if you want it gone, some extra work would have to be done.... It will be less durable than the bumper as is (slight chance of cracking because of the flexibility of the material). I'll see what I can do, though.

And don't worry, even if nobody else wants a bumper, I'll get you one.

It's ALOT lighter. It will reduce the weight. I'll find out by how much, but I won't know until it's done, sorry... I can tell you for the rear soon, but I know it's lighter.

Yes, they will use the stock supports and allow you to keep the impact bumpers there (unlike any other kit offered for the Protege).

Plenty of room for an intercooler, just look at the pic of the front bumper...

They're made in Montreal, so if you can find the cheapest company that ships between here and where you are, let me know... I'll find out which company Eastend uses.

Loundarp June-6th-2003 08:06 AM

is that possible to only have the front bumper?

G-Man June-6th-2003 10:17 PM

so what happens if you dont get 10 ppl, they wont be made??
And say 10 ppl are gathered with $ in hand, how long will it take to get the kit on my doorstep?

Yes, but you'll have to wait for the price... I can tell you right now that it will be more expensive if the full kit does'nt get made. I'll try to get you a price soon.

The price will change depending on the amount of buyers. The prices quoted were for a minimum of 10 people. That's how groupbuys work.
As for when they will be ready, that depends how soon the go-ahead comes...

jedwards242000 June-7th-2003 12:44 PM

i would like to get the kit however financial situations would make me have to wait about 5-7 months but if you could wait i would definitely get the kit let me know

gen1pro June-8th-2003 12:08 AM

Bob put me down for the rear bumper. I contacted you a couple of weeks ago and said that I wanted one and I'm ready. How soon can I get it.

gen1pro June-8th-2003 12:16 AM

Bobs side skirts
 
I like the side skirts you have on your car. Where did you get them? And what car are they originally from?

itzkcatz June-8th-2003 12:16 AM

I'll let you know how soon the back can be made.

As for the sideskirts, they're custom made... they were originally for a E46 BMW M3 and I modified them. I don't want to make a mold of them, so the Eastend kit will come with Black Widow sideskirts. I think they will look better with the Protege's lines than mine, but I want my car to stay as unique as possible, so I'll prolly keep the M3 sideskirts... I might switch them around depending on my mood though, if they give me another kit for advertising....
