Junction Produce VIP Style Body Kit Interest?
wow, that makes it extremely difficult. forgive the barage of questions to follow.
are you going prototype one gen and expect it to work for both?
will you just end up doing one?
is it a minimum of 10 people of either gen? or 10 of one specific gen?
i'm assuming that since you are requesting this on g35driver.com that it will be a USDM kit (a concern since the JDM and USDM bumper are not the same).
will it be a Junction Produce kit or a Junction Produce Sports kit?
do you have a concept sketch or something so we can get an idea of what it will look like?

For the 50% deposit, we can't give you an exact set price yet since im guessing the aero kit (front bumper, side steps, and rear bumper) price is be 349,000 JPY ($3,490 USD), and require 50% of $1745 USD needed for the deposit.
If you dont like the design of the kit when it is completed, would a refund be possible? I only ask this because I was on a production group buy like this for my other car and did not like the way it came out when finished. I could not get my money back so I had to go ahead and buy the kit and then sell it for less than I bought it for.
We do not require or take 50% of deposit until we show our customers an image of imaginary design of the kit.
If im a customer, i'm 100% sure that i would like to see at least an image of the kit to know how it looks before putting a deposit if not, i would not buy it...

we are still not sure which gen (03-04 or 05-06) of full kit or lip kit to make...
will you just end up doing one?
i will do my best to make this happen for our JP fans.
is it a minimum of 10 people of either gen? or 10 of one specific gen?
minimum of 10 people for a lip kit. or minimum of 25 people for a full kit.
i'm assuming that since you are requesting this on g35driver.com that it will be a USDM kit (a concern since the JDM and USDM bumper are not the same).
will it be a Junction Produce kit or a Junction Produce Sports kit?
We received this request from one of a member on this forums, and thought it would make G35 owners happier to make this happen.
oh and yes, JDM and USDM bumper are not the same, so it is super hard and rare to find a USDM G35 sedan in Japan, that is the biggest problem unless we make the kit in the US, but i don't think it will happen since most of our kits are made here in Japan.... If this can be happen, it will be a Junction Produce kit.
do you have a concept sketch or something so we can get an idea of what it will look like?
Yes, im sure we will give you guys an idea to see how its going to be look with a concept sketch
are you going prototype one gen and expect it to work for both?

Shuji,
I certainly appreciate your feedback and good information. But unfortunately I can see this is almost an impossible task to produce the kit based on the required number of people you need. I'm officially off the "Interested List" for the timespan it will take to produce and most importantly...the price of $3490 USD is way too much in my opinion.
Most kits for this car like the Wald, Sportec, Nismo, etc. retail for a lot less. Thanks again.

Yes, this is almost an impossible task to produce. i know our kits are overpriced compare to others kits... the price of $3490 USD is my guessing, but yea still too much for most people, and also for me.
well, again, thank you for your comments.

Hey guys,
Ok, i'll admit, this kit is a little pricey but look at it this way. It'll be a rare kit and it'll most likely have perfect fitment cause thats what they are known for.
If you guys look at the coupes, their impul kit is 3900, retail is like 4500 or something like that. So all in all, its the same thing guys.
Come on now, this is the first time we are actually getting some interest by another company to produce an areo kit....
Plus, we'll get to see a sketch of it first. don't quit yet chico. Its for a FULL KIT price. Like TK said the lip kit will probably end up being like 2100 or something. not that bad i say..... 700 a piece.. ok ok....
TK: are u sure the JDM and USDM bumpers are different? you mean rear or front?? i know the rear is a bit short. other than that i would imagine the front bumper being the same.

^^^ what he said...
This kit may be expensive, but you are getting what you pay for. When you buy clothes, do you find the bargain sale items at kmart/walmart? or do you go to a department store? If you can afford it, of course you would be at the department store. You pay more for quality name brand items.
IMO, these prices arent that bad compared to other kits. *remember to compare prices for authentic kits... not the replica stuff.
I think that the only difference between the JDM and USDM bumpers is the rear -not sure though.
Personally, I'm on the fence at this point. I have been thinking about having a kit custom fabbed, and would probably be done around the same time this kit would be available. But I still want to see the initial design before I make any decisions.

Hey Ed,
Yes, the price I've informed is an estimate price for the 'full kit', so lip kit will be less than that of course.
if the JDM and USDM bumper(s) are different, we will need the USDM bumper(s)... i have to double check on that, just give me some time to get all the information about a differences between the JDM and USDM bumper(s).

Hi Clean G 4D,
Thank you for a kind comments! Yes, as some of you know, Junction Produce care about high quaity, and we are actually the company started VIP scene here in Japan, and have a longer history than the other VIP
companies. Again, we care about quality.
come on people, we need more suggestions or comments to make this thing happen.

yeah, i'm pretty sure the rear JDM and USDM bumpers are different. The reason I know this is because i know both the sportec and the wald both need to be modified in order to fit the USDM bumper. if you do a search on the wald kit, you can see that this has been discussed numerous time. getting a USDM rear bumper shouldn't be hard, I've seen them pop up on ebay on numerous occasions. now whether or not they fit a JDM car is another story.
I'll have to agree w/ Clean G 4D, I'm on the fence now. I think alot will hash out when the sketch/design becomes available.
I must, however, commend you Shuji for at least taking the time and the effort on following thru on this.

I agree with you 100% about the quality of Junction and excellent reputation and that's why I jumped on this right away. I'm also very happy to see how much interest Shuji has taken to produce this for us. I guess my concern is much more the time to produce and make it available to us. The price is a bit high no doubt, but I can easily forget about it,
if I knew we could have this kit available by next spring (March-May) at least before all the big shows. Anyway, I'm back on!
