what in the name of fuck happened to that hatch?! quite possibly one of the most god awful rocket bunny themed 180s ive ever seen, and rocket bunny is just terrible to begin with... didnt think someone could defecate on the hideousness of rocket bunny any further... leave it to the interwebs to prove me wrong!

Almost all of his products are modeled off of some sort of oem aero, so you should really take your dickishness to nissan

RB has that gross bulgy look in almost every kit they make, its an accurate observation in my book

i could give 2 shits about your opinion (and obviously a few other people feel the same way). rocket bunny is uglier than sin, its become the most over played aero kit out there for ANY JDM car and you opinion still doesnt change the fact that the 180sx posted above is simply terrible... just saying

Tra Kyoto pushes the trends, tasteful or distasteful it is original design. His service is used by multiple other companies. Like or dislike, that's the nature of aftermarket design. If it is being shown at oem company booths at sema it must create a good impact for them.

I think your business model is good, I just wish you didn't replicate stuff exactly. It makes the "car game" less exciting. I make and collect aero parts, and seldom do I think to replicate anything. I will admit I have tried it in the past, silvia aero vents. But I stopped because it was leading to bad motives down the road. Frankly if I had known that selling off those hard to find Bwave valences were going to just get copied I would have just left them with my mate in Sydney to use on his car. The replica market in the usa is already huge, why add to it?

meh, i replicate parts that are obscure, discontinued and that i personally love because i grew up with them in the car scene over the past 15 years. its a bit sad that you see me in such a negative light given im more interested in producing something amazing for the dying and very destructive 240sx scene than i am out to make a quick buck! i spend countless hours FIXING parts before theyre molded to improve final fitment. i really dont care about the negative attitudes toward what i do because i know my parts and i know the work i put into them to make them higher quality than my competition! i make what i make because i like to make what i make... i take enjoyment in knowing that im resurrecting pieces that so few people know about! most folks are interested in the rocket bunny fad, thats fine... but the people who want old school JDM styling with OE body panels, they come to me and thats what im here for.

Cody, im not bitching at you, infact i appreciate you selling me those valances more than you know! i could understand people being such purists if this were back in the day where these parts were readily available and easy to come by... but theyre not anymore, and frankly im tired of seeing people destroy such rare pieces due to crashing their cars!

the replica market is huge in america (it always has been), but im not in the same market... i produce specialty pieces for those of us who want classic 90s/early 2000s JDM appearance to our cars, not to make our cars look like a dodge challenger.

PS: please dont act like the replica market only exists in the US btw. replica aero parts are all over Japan, Australia and Europe! Infact, did you know that the SSR Mesh Wheel is just a replica of a 1970s BBS wheel?

thats why you feel the need to defend it?
And adding dumb boso flares is far from innovative, people have been doing that 4 years
Dorki makes excellent aero parts, I doubt its worth finding some shitty beat up bumper from the 90's, when you can have a much nicer quality repro one with no issues.
