all you need is a JDM kouki bumper and have the lip hang down an inch or an inch and half

gotcha. yeah, i was thinking that it would end up being smoothed a bit more, but i was just curious as to what lines you were going after. it should look great.

well yeah, obviously. however, i would imagine that the development cost of paying for a bumper you won't use on your personal car, and then making a lip that will not have a high demand is hard to get excited for. things take effort to produce, and it's pretty easy for a consumer to ignore that fact.

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

He already has a lip for the zenki and i'm sure that the demand for that wouldn't be much higher than the kouki, hell he could probably just modify the existing zenki lip to fit the kouki bumper, it couldn't be that much different.

just my .02

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!
