Lighten up, junior member...
Boostx has made some really cool stuff for these cars.
What have you made for us?
[edit] Just looked thru your posting history, and all you do is cast derision on people who are trying things in your field of expertise.
I find that amusing... who are you trying to impress?
This board is about sharing information. It sounds like you have a firm grasp on the subject material. Why don't you use your background to present your opinion in a positive manner?
Probably gain much more respect that way. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Ok putting a cease and desist order up now. I talk to John on the phone and have helped with other projects he's done for the guys here. I'm not doing this post because were friends but because I would do it for any member here, even you and I don't even know you. Ask any of the old timers here I don't get all political or get steamed very easy but John is giving his time and efforts to a project to better the community if there not perfect they want go out. He's anal as I am and I'll also be inspecting the parts for fitment install etc. because he asked me to.
Now. The guy that is doing these for him/us is in the very top of his field and is the HMFIC and one of the biggest corporations in Orlando. He doesn't want it out where he works so the info isn't getting out. But he's not some guy building speaker boxes at a local car stereo installation shop if thats what your thinking. I wish I had his job or worked with him. As for me I've messed with stuff like this before and understand the basics but never have build anything from scratch besides doing some airplane stuff and helped in repairing a lopressti cf cowl that my dumb ass boss cut a hole in for a starter. 15K for a speed cowl that required a different starter but he's to dumb or cheap to read the instructions. Since I don't have the experience in it I'm not going to try and talk a bunch of sh*t or be an internet expert and copy and paste a bunch of crap from some website. As for the way him or John are doing it who really freaking cares, the replica is built to be a direct copy of a unicorn part and actually is better now because its two pieces and can fit not only the JDM bumper but the USDM one as well.
Now since you work in the industry you know how much it cost for materials and materials for a mold etc. Maybe we should all chip in a few thousand a piece and we'll buy John and his buddy an autoclave. As for the pictures above It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that is only the silicone part of the mold/lay-up. How do you know what else there using or do you have superman's xray vision and can see 360 degrees around the room of a picture. Maybe that's not superman. sh*t you get the point. When you've been a member around here as long as John... question and talk sh*t but do it with some tact. John has given up many hours of his life working on projects for people here as well as money that he's never re-cooped. sh*t he was the lead on the subframe bushings and sold his car before he ever got a set to install. Ain't that a bitch.

Dude,
I'm not sure if you appreciate the fact that no one is really making specific items for these old sleds.

Just got a call and the first lip is completed but I have not seen it yet but I was told it look a better that the original one. He also stated he should be able to turn out 1 to 4 set a week, any faster will increase the cost. When I get home I will be take some good pics and post them up later..

These guys hit my cans
These guys have problems coming from Nashville
Warned that this JDM bling is so hot it can make it in a Brown truck
I would have put pictures of the UPS girl but Steve gets mad at me so I found a new one.

I will start shipping out the lips that has been completed on Monday. I have contacted several members from the list and I have only received 2 payments. Members have backed out, want to be move down on the list or will be getting it later.
So if your plans has change please update the list
I should be able to get about 5 to 8 set of lips per month so I will be taking payment from 5 members @ at time. (I don’t want to be holding your $$ for months while they are being made.)
Send me a pm if you are ready. Only the first 15 is granted the group by price
