sorry if i did confuse the thread with throwing in what we sell but it seems to me you are just jerking everyone around so i figured why not... u want to sell stuff thats made for other cars and your going to make it fit theres? ummm sure... for someone to spend that kind of time on one bumper you would have to charge like 450 a bumper and if you didnt your dumb... i dont tihnk you should come on here messing around with everyone have some crap your brother makes or sells... ive read this thread like 3 times and im not even sure what you are selling? you get nothing anyone here wants but you want to sell other body kits to them that will be made to fit there cars... ? do you have a S13, S14 to do this on? do you have all kinds of body kits to practice on? see i posted because i can get anything they make for 240s... not stuff for every other car and then tell people ill make it fit... </td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

If you read as carefully as you said you did you would notice that there are minimums for getting custom stuff done.  It takes at least 5 ppl who want the same thing, and the price comes down dramatically with each extra 5 on top of that.  I don't see why you're playing "knight in shining armor" and telling people I'm jerking them around...all you're trying to do is look like a hero so people buy from you instead of me....or at least that's what it looks like.

I've been trying to get prices on some of the parts people want but sometimes it's quite tough given the number of emails etc I respond to in one day.

I'm not trying to jerk anybody around, and I apologize to everyone for how long it is taking me to answer certain questions.

The bodykits are molded using a simple cut, shape, mold replication process.  So a kit is taken from the most similar car, cut and made to fit, the a new mold is made for the 240sx.  The cost is significantly less for fibreglass, due to the nature of the mold.  For urethane molds cost upwards of $10000.  Fiberglass costs under $2000.

I'm not trying to start a flame war here because frankly I don't have time.....but I hope this clears things up a bit.

No hard feelings, but I wish you'd ask a question before trying to run my name through the mud in the future.

Thanks

Jeff
