custom kit molding questions??

Big questions here:

I'm wondering if there would possibly be any big companies out there willing to make a mold of one of the camry body kits with either Urethane or ABS Plastic??

i have a fiberglass kit and it has just become a major ass pain, and by time i spend the money getting it to fit and gettin the right kinda reinforcements and show quality i'm wanting. I'm wondering if it would be possible to spend about $1,500 - $2,250 to get a company to make one of these molds for me?? and if it was possible i'm sure others would be interested in this as well.

what do you think?

I'm talking to a guy out of florida at the moment about this and he is supposed to be gettin back with me.

Thanks Alot

if you want one mold, I'm sure that it'll cost at least that, plus your actual installation costs, etc.....

you may as well stick w/ the fibreglass that you've got now and just deal w/ that....

What brand is the kit? If it's Wings West you could contact them and ask for a replacement, they are usually good about standing behind their work. My Wings West kit is fiberglass and it fit perfectly w/o any modification and prepped well and looks immaculate. If it's another brand you may not have such luck.

i'm not really worried about the cost of gettin this done nor the installation, i can get it installed for practically nothing.
But the with the fiberglass kits is that they just don't last as long. I've seen some of these camrys with the kits on and they look FANTASTIC, but i'm willing to pay more for something that is gonna look better and last longer. (get me?)

If not i'm wondering what the razzi style kit (i know u can get it in urethane or abs plastic) would look like if it was added and the camry had a very unique color (like the pearls or metallic colors) with a nice slam drop, or at least a fairly low stance?

any ideas...thanks.

btw...the fella i'm talking to out of florida is giving me some really good thumbs up on this idea, but he is still talking with his major company connections such as Erebruni (his main)...etc.

If your not worried about cost go carbon fiber and paint all but the lower lip showing a little CF always scores points in show.
I'm actually working on casting a gen 3.5 RMM lip in CF.

Seriously Eric? If you do, I guess I will be doing a 3.5 front end conversion! Heh!
