Re: Spike is working on creating fenders for the Tiburon.
Ill have pictures soon. Some of you remember the ones we had on our website of the car used in the prototyping.
One of the main ways you tell the good quality from the bad, is you check the development of it. Did they just take a kit from another car, stick it on the new car, and then make a template of where the new holes should be, etc.? Do they just have a basic plate that goes on all cars, and THEN drill the holes for each application? or is it completely engineered from the ground up...starting from scratch, going to a CAD design, going to 3 different prototype designs, waiting for the best one. There are a company or two out there who go through that extent to make new kits...but most of the companies out there just do cut and paste jobs. When that happens, you get results of shocks failing, material rusting, and even screwing up of the car its installed on...a la the APC tiburon from sema last year.

This one isn't a question, but still needs answered.

Without pictures i doubt it will interest anyone. Take pictures of the hinges and the kind of work the fender will need.

In general, with pics, if they are a good setup, maybe. But probably not, I promised Jaws 21 I'd get in on the GB he's gonna hold for them. We allready know that's a pretty good kit.

Re: Free Cam Sprocket Mod !
This whole forum name is wrong!! i was confused at first, but if the picture of the rd2 tibby with the doors up is what your talking about then ok. Because gullwing doors are the doors that open out like the delorean,(back to the future car) and since tiburons dont have window frame on its door, gullwing is not possible, but i can see you clearly meant lambo doors!

Re: THE Hobgoblin
If you read his first post the company name is gullwingdoors. He stated that he knew that the tiburon could not support them, but didn't want to get yelled at. You went about it very nice though laugh.gif

Re: Free Cam Sprocket Mod !
Price was listed right there in the first post. I also posted that "ill have more pictures soon." As far as the delay, I believe the factory that we contracted with to make the final production of these changed a month and a half ago.

Re: *Warning* - Window Switches + White board marker = BAD
if you would be interested in some kind of deal for me if i write a complete and extensive DIY showing how easy it is to install, and praise your kit all over the forums(if its as good and easy to install as you say it will be), then i might be interested.
