He's right on target here. Any design takes a lot of hours and elbow work to be done right the first time.

Some parts true. The zenki lip would be hard to use as a base to make the kouki lip. Option Zero has been trying to get this done for a while, well at least an "add on lip" to the JDM kouki lip. It can be done, it just will take a donor car to sit around for at least 2 months or so for a design to be made. Then again, someone would have to fork out the $$$ for supplies to make the part. Resin, gel coat, foam, sand paper, pigment, fiberglass, brushes, cups, etc adds up. Right off the top of my head I just bought a small amount of supplies to make a "single" part and it came around $500.00 for just supplies. OUCH!
