View Full Version : Guaging Interest, new rear and sides, "tuscani" front bumper
yamaneko
05-30-2007, 08:54 PM
Probably would have been done by now if i had seen this thread before, but better late than never.
So first, who is interested in a new "tuscani" front bumper for the elantras?
01-03 Elantras
Blastation (with BC2 rear and sides)
Sliderdai (with BC2 rear and sides)
matrisloaer( with bc2 rear and sides)
04-06 Elantras
ilanpro (with BC2 rear and sides)
Bcoleman (with BC2 rear and sides, 5 door)
04gtboy (with bc2 rear and sides, 5 door)
And for those of you who are interested, what kind of rear and sides would you want (not ncessary for the front bumper part of the group buy)?
Most so far are voting for the simple BC2 look:
http://www.buddyclub2.com/bodykits/Mazda/0104protege/4dr/16b.jpg
So post here if youre interested, and what year elantra you have, and what kind of rear and sides you want (or if you dont want rear and sides). if this is something doable, we will try to get on it right away.

05-30-2007, 09:01 PM
price?
yamaneko
05-30-2007, 09:21 PM
Prebuy price would be 225 for the front bumper. Probably 50 dollars for the OEM tuscani foglights (not 100% sure, but not much more than that)
Prebuy price for a full kit of tuscani front, BC2 rear and sides would be 595.
Regular price once completed would be 325 for the front, and 875 for the full kit.
Shipping for the bumper by itself is 125 to any address. Full kit 160 to business, 205 to residential.
No fender flares for the kit.
By the way, I think i want to make an application specific bumper for the 04-06. Until now we have used the 01-03 Elantra bumper for the 04-06 (for the 4 door), since minor modification only was needed for it to work. But would you guys like one specifically for each car?

BColeman
05-30-2007, 09:29 PM
You'd only have to make an adjustment to one mold in order to make it work for one style or the other. I would think it would be whatever is cheaper for you all, so the added cost doesn't get passed on to us customers.
The price for the full kit is very reasonable. Thank you for posting that up.

I like the tomato sides. All of the damn sides for the xd are straight. How about a little originality for pete sake.
Blastation
05-30-2007, 11:49 PM
ohh yeah yameneko you will need to know if its going to be a 4 door or a hatchback cause the bumper for the rear will be different. So put me down as a 4 door 03 elantra thanks
ilanpro
05-31-2007, 10:31 AM
One thing Yam Dont make the kit too low Like the R34 Just slightly lower than the stock, this way lowered cars can still be everyday drivers

can we get a pic of this front bumper on an elantra?
yamaneko
05-31-2007, 03:50 PM
The pic of it on an elantra is in the other thread in the appearance forum.
By the way, we are NOT making a new rear for the 5 door. Not enough demand, and the one we have now i think fits quite well. So if you have a 5 door, just put your name down for the front bumper which will fit of course, and if you want the new BC2 side skirts. If you need the rear, we will give the special price too for our regular buddy club rear.
Granted, if we have 5 prebuys for a new BC2 rear for the 5 door i could make it, but honestly looking at the ratio of 4 door kits ive sold to 5 door, i cant imagine wed have 5 people here interested in a new 5 door rear.
Matrixloader
05-31-2007, 04:13 PM
put me down for a 4 door full kit with BC2 sides and BC2 rear for my 2001 xd. the price is much better than the ms kit i was about to get.
another thing is this kit fiberglass? and is it the strong fiberglass? how many layers?
yamaneko
05-31-2007, 04:28 PM
Yes, kit is fiberglass. I dont remember how many layers the factory puts, actually thats not the most important thing. The important thing is the gel coat used, the resin used, and how it all works together, including the number of layers. The mixture they use now we have been using for 5 years now, and it works for us. Not too brittle, not too stiff, not too wobbly either. Ive had a cuda kit from this factory on my car for 4 years with no problems.

05-31-2007, 05:12 PM
want me to put you down for the front and sides, and then rear of the buddy club1 (or jt autostyle), or no rear, or rear ONLY if theres 5 people who want a 5 door bc2 rear bumper?
BColeman
05-31-2007, 05:15 PM
I'm one of those with a 5 door, and you've got me listed above. You'd better take of the rear bumper then, since you won't be making it. Thanks.

05-31-2007, 05:16 PM
whats the front look like? i cant find anymore pics
i love the side skirt
whats the buddy club 1 / jt autostyle rear look like?
yamaneko
05-31-2007, 05:22 PM
Wow, 2 5 door requests, we might have to make one after all. Depends if we can get 5.
The buddyclub1 design is the one we use for the R34 kit.

Another thing I would like to see is the Plate piece removed, it takes away from the roundness of the front, you can add a removable plate holder or something.

05-31-2007, 10:17 PM
will it have the holes for the factory fog lights? the stock tib bumper has those black palstic fog lap trims where the small round progectors fit but since the bumper is fiberglass im just wondering, will we still be able to use the factory tib fog lamps on the fiberglass kit? and also can we use the factory tib grill like the one in the picture above?
yamaneko
05-31-2007, 10:46 PM
What are those sides? It will have the holes for the factory fog lights from the tiburon...ill try to figure out how to make it work. We will make it so that its a basic install. No cutting and repasting necessary for install. For anyone in southern california at our partner shop paint and install will be 500-850 depending on how nice you need it.

love the ffender flares
J-son
06-08-2007, 11:50 PM
Very cool!
Front: Tuscani
Sides: R34
Rear: R34
Just my thoughts, that is what I would buy. I really like the front. It IMO, is the better choice. I like the R34 sides and rear out of all the kit ava.
I just started my Supervisor job Monday, and they told me that my pay week is different from when I was on hourly, so I will have a 3 week check on the 29th. Maybe I can convince the wife to let me get on the GB here. I put in 76 hours just this week (two weeks to go), I EARNED IT!!!
Cheers,
Jason
*edit: also, very interested in fender flares... I would like info on this so I can put the whole package in perspective. I would probably just get the front first. Then each check after the 29th I would pick up side and rear and possible flares.*

>>>is it going to have the licence plate holder in the front or is this going to be eliminated...preferably eliminated...<<<<
I think people should vote on that. or whoever actually does the buy can vote, something like that. Because since its the law to have front plate, wont most people want it?
>>>yam...those sides that ilanpro put up i believe are the kdm sides.<<<
Yes, finally confirmed that. I can get them from korea, just dont know the price yet.
>>>I also Rather have this rear<<<<
I can make anything, but as mentioned it takes people interested. if youd like start a new thread and check how many else are interested. However, id have to make sure those fake muffler tips are available, and reflector lights, and the price would be more since id have to invest in another 500 dollars just to get the forenza bumper to get the design off of., not to mention the "extras" that the bumpe rhas.
>>>>>ya can we get an update a to how many are actually in on the prebuy...cause if there are enough i will order the front bumper next week
<<<<''
Well if you go off this thread, theres like 6 people interested. How many people have done the prebuy so far? Zero. Then again, i just put it on the site...
>>>>i was order number 3 for the CF hood made for the 04 accent and that took damn near a year and the body kit took a year and a half<<<<'
Which body kit took a year and half? The Y2 kit? Thats the only one we made for that car, and we made it pretty fast i though. The hood, if you were number 3, then you probably were the last to prebuy it...i know we never got to 5...but after waiting, and people cancelling, we still went ahead and made it all on our own dime. Like i mentioned elsewhere, we really need these prebuys, but even if we dont get them, sometimes we want to see the product so bad ourselves, if too much time has passed we will end up forking the money over ourselves and making sure it gets done.
>>> yam you said prebuy on the bumper alone would be 225 yet you listed it at 245<<<
Can you show me the page where i said that? Because i just put up prices based on what i had looked back and the only time i found i put a price when i searched was when i said 245 here: http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22091&page=7 If i said 225, show me where and ill talk with the guys and see if its ok to honor that.
Json, youd get a disocunt on the R34 sides and rear with this front bumper, but it would be a custom order, so to do that youd have to email me: bradley@evofusionusa.com No fender flares available at this time. That forenza picture is of the OEM built in flares that that car has.
SilverElantra
06-09-2007, 06:27 AM
Prebuy price would be 225 for the front bumper. Probably 50 dollars for the OEM tuscani foglights (not 100% sure, but not much more than that)
Prebuy price for a full kit of tuscani front, BC2 rear and sides would be 595.
Regular price once completed would be 325 for the front, and 875 for the full kit.
Shipping for the bumper by itself is 125 to any address. Full kit 160 to business, 205 to residential.
No fender flares for the kit.
By the way, I think i want to make an application specific bumper for the 04-06. Until now we have used the 01-03 Elantra bumper for the 04-06 (for the 4 door), since minor modification only was needed for it to work. But would you guys like one specifically for each car?
Post number 6 of this thread....and the j2 kit took forever for you guys...my buddy ordered it and it took damn near a year and a half for him to recieve it...except the side skirts...he got those a few month before the bumpers...but i guess from my understanding you guys did not make that kit???
BTW i vote no licence plate holder...i got the approval from my girlfriend so i will be ordering next week i believe...

Ok, i was able to get permission to change the price down to 225 and 595 for a 3 week period...... So nows the time to do it! Still zero prebuys so far. :(
Once you order, it all depends on how long it takes to get 5 others to order that same part. Hopefully fast!

BColeman
06-18-2007, 04:59 PM
If I could come up with the $200 for the side skirts in a week or two, I'd order those too. I'm not wanting the rear bumper. Since I've got the hatch, I want the lip kit for the rear, that is just two pieces, one for either side of the bumper. I can't remember where I saw them, I'll find them later on. I think they were for the 01-03's, but it'll work on my car just fine. Just have to find them.
What I meant by guinea pig was you were the first one to pay for the order, that's all. I know they mean business, and they wouldn't go through all the effort they do if they didn't. There have been some upset people, but if everyone understands that this prebuy is just that, and it'll take some time for the bumpers to be done and sent out, everything should be okay. I just hope it doesn't take too long. It would seem that the hold up is on our end right now, getting those 5 orders.
SilverElantra
06-18-2007, 05:06 PM
exactly i dont care how long it take sthem to make the bumpers...but they wont start till they get the 5 preorders...so the hold up is 100% on our end...which is lame cause you know if they go ahead and make them people would be willing to buy them at a more expensive price just cause they are made already....stupid in my opinion...o well we will see what happens...

BColeman
06-21-2007, 12:51 AM
No, they are making this state side. And yes, you'll have to wait. First, you have to wait until they have the minimum of 5 pre-orders. Then you'll have to wait for the production of them. A few weeks at most from what I understand. I'm not going to be able to order as soon as I thought. Probably not until next week now, but I'm still in this for the front bumper, regardless of past things with the company.

its not a matter of being a guinea pig...i trust that they will make a good product and im not worried about how long it will take....it just pisses me off that so many people wanted this and nobody else has ordered....so many people on this forum are all talk and thats it....i can almost guarantee i will be the first to order the side skirts when evo gets those in too...why...cause even when **** is available people come up with every excuse known to man about why they cant get it now...i appreciate that you are ordering also...
Read what Munky said.
It's called unexpected expenses.
Anyone who lives on their own and pays their own bills knows how it is. Things happen, bills pop up out of nowhere. Acting like a baby about it won't change that fact, sorry man.
I have to agree. **** brakes, and you have to pay to fix it. I don't know how many times I have had the money saved up to do the HID's that I just installed, and something comes up that it has to wait. I am sure that there will be plenty of people that will order them, but it may not be in the next five minutes...

its not a matter of me being a baby munky...i was not complaining in the slightest bit about it...just think it is retarded...kinda like you but a lil different...there really was no need for ur comment...but honestly to the rest of you who wanted this and are taking no action its quite pathetic that when a company actually is willing to make a product like this for our cars nobody wants it but everyone is more than willing to ***** about there not being parts...
i know what bills are like man i pay for everything i have since i was 18....so dont worry ur not the only o0ne who has unexpected things come up....i just got a hospital bill in the mail that i gotta pay off too...

Heres what is going to happen. Friday I pay off my credit card. Then I'm going to order either the front bumber or entire kit. I garantee I'm ordering this by Saturday night. The only thing that has me bummed out is the fact that I think I'll be the first 01-03 prebuy. I just hope I'm not waiting months until four others step up.
I did have a question though, if I decide on the entire kit and four others get the front bumber. Am I going to have to wait until another 4 get the side skirts and rear? Or will production for the entire kit begin once 5 have gotten the bumber?
SilverElantra
06-28-2007, 04:48 AM
ur bummed out...ive already had this **** paid off for damn near 2 weeks and im still the ONLY prebuy...at all...

Doing some more research I managed to answer my questions. Looks like the side skirts are 01-06. Trust me, I get paid friday and I'll deposit immediately, pay my bill online, goto work and wait for it to clear. Then I'll be in business.

ok ordering the front bumper now
so is that 3 for the front bumper?
how can we tell the number of people that have actually ordered it
according to you silver adding me to the list we have 3 for the 04-06 front bumper so we need 2 more for that am i right?
yamaneko
06-29-2007, 10:17 PM
3 for the 04 front, 1 for the sides (fits 01-06), 1 for the 5 door rear (fits 01-06). none for the 01 front yet.
SilverElantra
06-29-2007, 10:19 PM
sweet just need 2 more for the front bumper for the 04-06 i cannot wait please people i want this bumper so bad...please prebuy....
04GTboySC
06-29-2007, 10:34 PM
i have to wait to do the rest
so ok question dude, if we get the 5 for the front bumper does it then go into production or whatever
or do we have to wait for the other parts to get 5 people? i know im gona get the rear the next time i have a lil extra money
SilverElantra
06-30-2007, 06:28 AM
he will start on just the bumper alone i believe....cause he has a prebuy for just the bumper then for the full kit....so even if we get 4 bumper only and 1 full kit...you still have to wait for the other 4 full kit prebuys but you will recieve the front bumper on schedule with everyone else who has prebuyed the bumper....make sense???
04GTboySC
06-30-2007, 08:52 AM

Well at least the good thing is everyone so far has ordered the same year bumper...even if we had 4 orders by now, it wouldnt mean much if 2 were for 01 and 2 for 04. :)
I spent hundreds of dollars in training my new employees last week to make prototype bumpers, so now we have the capability to do it in house agian for the first time in 3 years. So once we start (as long as we can get a car), the process hopefully will be fast. Although this is the first time i have EVER made a new bumper where the top part (R34 bumper) is going to be fiberglass, and the bottom part is plastic. so hope there are no issues with that once we put it to mold. Usually we take an OEM top part and chop it to a fiberglass style.

Ok, we have 4 now. But ilan is the only one to do the prebuy for the rear and sides.
Let me throw something out there to you guys. It would mean about 1.5 months-2 months more on production time, but it would get us a more set date, lessen the price, and get better quality.
Here are the details.
We are partering with another company to open a new body kit factory in Asia. WHy are we doing this? Well, our USA factory is very convinient (20 minutes away from us, usually only 3 weeks from the time of getting prototype we can get bumpers), and for USA quality its the best ive ever seen for the price. However, its not perfect. Most of the cost of a body kit is in the labor, not the materials. The hours it takes to set the fiberglass sand it down to make it perfect, etc. Here in the USA we have to pay minimum wage, at minimum so can only afford so much prep and finishing work on the bumpers.
However in asia, employees get on average room, board, and 30-50 dollars per...........MONTH! So obviously we can spend a lot more time on the bumpers and still have a cheaper manufacturing price. If this is the case, why havent i been manufacturing all of our body kits in Asia? Well, twofold: 1 is racism aside (im asian myself), most of the factories in asia (pretty much all of them) cannot be trusted. You can start a project there, but guaranteed youll be seeing it at 100 dollars on ebay a few months later, because theyre back dooring it there. With the honda market, it doesnt matter as much, but in our market that would be murder. (we went from selling 10-15 a month of Min garage and SC2 tiburon kits to like 1 a month after they got copied). Also, much of the savings is useless unless you order a full container (about 100 full body kits). Again, obviously not going to be done with our few selections.
Well, this new operation will be run by one of our partners we have had for over 5 years. He will personally be overseeing everything. Second, he will have his own distribution for the non hyundai stuff theyre making based here in southern california, meaning that even if we have an order of say 20 bumpers, were paying only the amount we would as if we bought a whole container since we can "piggyback" on his containers.
The quality will be better, and the price will be lower. for this elantra kit, if we make it there, the price would go down by at least 20%. Now, of course the draw back is shipping things back and forth takes weeks and weeks. Im told that if we submit to them an order now, he can ship it out to us, the finished product about 8 weeks from now only, first week of september around there. It would take 2 weeks to get to us.
If you guys are ok with it, then i probably can go ahead and get the prototype ready right away and send it. Whomever has paid for it already would now get shipping for the bumper for only 45 dollars instead of the previously quoted price. And it would be higher quality. Id also go ahead and start the other pieces of the kits if we can just get TWO orders for them (01-03 elantra FB, 2 more, 01-06 side skirts 1 more, 01-06 5door rear bumper 1 more, 01-03 and 04-06 4 door rear 2 each). The drawback is the time. It would probably take lnoger to do it this way than to do it at our factory here by about 6 weeks. However, in my opinion its worth it for the price savings and the improvement in quality.
So how much of the savings is passed onto us?
EDIT: lol nevermind i completely missed the 20% paragraph. Sorry :S

yea same here im really getting worried that this wont even happen
and do i really want to put down money on side skirts and rear right now i dont think i willand i could use that money that i sent for the prebuy but i dont want to hurt the chances of this happening :(
yamaneko
07-23-2007, 06:38 PM
Well like i said, even though we dont have 5 yet, (down to 3 or 4 since ilan asked for refund), since you guys are ok with the overseas production, ive already started the process to get it made. So even if we dont get the 5 guys, im still getting this done. For the 01 guys, im not going to start it yet inasmuch as we have ZERO prebuys, i think im not going to start that one unless we get at least 2 of the 5 ones.
The people who paid already will get a discount off of their shipping price since they paid under the old prices.
On side notes, today i added to the website those korean side skirts that everyone keeps asking about. I have 2 sets i think in stock.
There was something else i was going to mention about the elantras, but now i forgot...

Of course I also ordered the OEM high spoiler but thats overseas, so ur guy said 4-6 weeks. Alas, no offence, your record gives me the impression i'll be waiting longer.
Good of ya to start the Tuscani bumpers, however I will eventually be getting the roadruns lip. But i cant wait to see some of the Elantras here with that bumper.

Well the side skirts technically are completely seperate deal from this..the side skirts advertised in this group buy are the BC2 style. I just posted about the side skirts here since a couple people here had asked about it, and i didnt want to start a new thread (which we now have already).

We use a processing service that usually is quite good. Weve never had any major problems with them. Some companies say wait until the next billing cycle for a refund to show up, but usually eprocessing does it 5-9 business days. Very rarely does it take much longer than that, if youve waited already 9 days, im sure any day now it will show up.

yamaneko
07-31-2007, 05:04 AM
oh ok, well as far as the bumper goes, as we said with us now making it in china its already underway, the whole process...were not even waiting for the full prebuys to do the front bumper. (for the 04-06). The 01-03 though we are waiting since we havent gotten ONE prebuy there.
If youre the california guy for the side skirts which it seems like you are, dont know why DHL is holding onto your package. I believe its been out for delivery monday and now tuesday.
But, still, like the other guy, id imagine you will get it in less than 5 business days from your time of order...

from my experience the whole process can take up to 2 weeks.
yamaneko
07-31-2007, 05:08 PM
Well, were sending the prototypes over in about 3 weeks to asia, 2 weeks to get there, about 3 weeks later we should have all of the product ready to ship back to here. We will have plenty in stock at that point, but the price will be higher for others.
04GTboySC

only shipping, but as mentioned before, the prebuy people will get a big discount off of the regular shipping price since we lowered the price of the bumper

As for the fogs, ya, the info needs to be corrected as its the 03-06 tib fogs that would be needed.

i dont understand what you guys are asking about the bumper? The picture on our website is wrong?
SilverElantra
08-01-2007, 04:56 AM
the picture for the bumper is the 05-06 facelift bumper...but you have the 01-03 fog lights listed for sale to go with the bumpers....
yamaneko
08-04-2007, 03:55 AM
Ok, well all the fog lights are the same i believe if were talking about the ones that go in the new bumper, because were talking the tuscani KDM fog lights right
04GTboySC
08-04-2007, 04:44 AM
i think 01-03 / 05-06 tiburons use the same fog light set up so yea i think your right yam

ah ok there is a small difference the 05-06 are like projector right and the 01-03 aren't
SilverElantra
08-04-2007, 06:21 AM
thats what i see and personally if im gonna pay 85 dolars ima spend the extra 20 and get projectors and buy the facelift fog light cover from seoulfulracing...unless evofusion can give some sort of deal
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u270/silverxd2/fog3.jpg
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u270/silverxd2/fog4.jpg
is it just me or would the projector fogs with these make the bumper look that much better

08-04-2007, 11:46 AM
maybe it would im not sure i just want the bumper lol
SilverElantra
08-04-2007, 04:14 PM

08-10-2007, 03:36 PM
just a quick updates, i believe were still at 3 prebuys, but we should have the prototype finished next week. ill have picture sof the prototype as soon as its done.
Matrixloader
08-10-2007, 03:57 PM
sorry if i missed this somewhere but are there any prebuys on the 01-03 4 door? meaning has anyone ordered one for that year/model?
04GTboySC
08-10-2007, 04:04 PM
whoo hoo cant wait to see the prototype cause once we see that it means progress right
matrix there might be one for thte 01-03 4 door not sure if he went thru with it
yamaneko
08-10-2007, 05:54 PM
of the 5+ who said they were interestedin the 01-03 version not one has done prebuy yet. But since were doing asian production now id start it with just 3 prebuys like the 04 elantra..
04GTboySC
08-10-2007, 06:47 PM
so yam if you could give a guestimate when do you think in reality these front bumpers would be ready?
yamaneko
08-11-2007, 04:46 PM
im still optimistically holding out for next month, the following at the latest. Its hard to pinpoitn an exact date this early in the process, it will be easier once the prototype is done and on the way to asia.

NY2002ElantraGT
08-12-2007, 03:08 AM
if i didnt have money tied up in this turbo i would so do the prebuy for the 01-03 5door kit. that looks sooooooooooooooo sexy!
if for some reason i get $600 out of nowhere........ IM ON IT!

08-12-2007, 09:42 PM

The GT is considered a 5 door. Sedan/hatch vs 4door/5door.

Argh i really want to get the 01-03 front for the 4rd sedan but im waiting to see wtf is going to happen with my job since my dealership (FORD) is closing down going out of bussiness by october 31st because of the lack of ford sales and being converted to a used car dealership instead.
i'll find out if i'll be able to get this maybe by the end of next month.

i will be pretty damn uoset if it is im really looking forward to this bumper...
I wonder if he was having the same problem I was. I wasnt able to get on the site since the 15th it kept timing out. I had to clear cookies/cache to get it to work.
SilverElantra
08-28-2007, 03:13 AM
nah its most likely just lack of communication....very commonly known about evofusion unfortunately...
only1db
08-28-2007, 07:40 AM
did he say something to the affect of that he wouldnt have a prototype for three weeks??? its only been two....give it time....
04GTboySC
08-28-2007, 11:33 AM
only he posted this to
"but we should have the prototype finished next week. ill have picture sof the prototype as soon as its done."
SilverElantra
08-28-2007, 03:15 PM
he has to have the prototype done before it gets shipped out to be made....also he said he is hoping it will all be done next month....im hoping so but truly not counting on it...
yamaneko
08-31-2007, 04:05 PM
Prototype was finished last week. I havent seen it yet. Sucks that we dont have a truck anymore. The guy also didnt take pictures, but the person who had loaned us the car, when she picked it up was pretty impressed.
Havent gotten any emails from anyone about this...remember I always say please email me, sometimes I dont go on any message boards for weeks. Especially now that we opened a new office here in Oceanside in addition to our LA warehouse.
Communication is fine on our part, if you send me an email ill reply to it, but again, ive siad maybe 100 times on this message board, dont count on me being regular here, sometimes i just cant/dont have the time to get on. Email me, call me, IM us, thats the best way to reach us.
By the way, good thing we are doing this other thing where we didnt need the 5 full prebuys to get started, were still stuck at 3, so under the original plan we still wouldnt have even started the prototyping yet....

wow i just noticed this thread, that bumper is amazing. you elantra guys really need to get on top of gettin new stuf like this made. wow makes the whole car much more aggresive. hope this works out for you guys.
04GTboySC
09-01-2007, 11:04 PM
yea thats for sure i really cant wait to get this i was talking to some civic guys at a car show today and they dont believe it will happen
yamaneko
09-03-2007, 05:20 AM
was able to upload a camera phone picture of the prototype. lighting is not good, but for those thinking this is a "bunk deal" it should show that its underway. (PS what did you mean "another" Bunk deal? Have we started a prebuy on something, got orders, and then never made/shipped the product in the past?)
Lets remember again folks, out of the 8-10 guys that said they would get in on this bumper, we have 3 orders i believe. Yet, even though we originally said we had to do 5 orders to get started, we still figured out a way not only to get it started without the 5 preorders, but to even lower the prebuy price and increase the quality. But people seem to be having heart attacks because I have not signed on to the message board in a few weeks, something i have said many times that i rarely can be on a consistent basis.
Again, please call me, email me, IM the office, call the other warehouse, before getting "worried" or calling this a "bunk deal." Sorry for the rant, but i just get upset when i see stuff like this especially when im busting my butt on this, and making things happen even when we didnt have the pre agreed on preorders, etc.

04GTboySC
09-03-2007, 01:29 PM
but silver like he said if we had contacted him by email or such we would of probably gotten a quicker update
not taking his side in any way but just stating what he said earlier

09-03-2007, 02:52 PM
its only on the 04 page, because since we have zero of the 01 prebuys we havent started that one yet.

here's an idea of what thte front bumper will look like on my car its kinda dark so i asked the dude to brighten it up

That looks pretty killer on your car 04GTboySC.
SilverElantra
09-09-2007, 03:54 PM
i think the bumper will be a lil lower and flare out a bit more over the wheel though....
04GTboySC
09-09-2007, 08:44 PM
yea it just gives us an idea on how it possibly could look
lookin at it i think i may end up painting the side black molding the body color what do you guys think?
SilverElantra
09-10-2007, 12:05 AM
i would say yes just because i think the black molding makes the car look cheaper...having everything paint matched is just a cleaner look.
04GTboySC
09-10-2007, 12:09 AM
i may do that in the coming weeks just to get it done

I'm pretty sure you guys still have at least another month left to wait. At least, that's what EF said on here. Why all the complaining, you knew this was going to happen in the first place?

im not complaining im just posting about that i want it badly

It's just a weekly thing you know. Everyone that's involved in this comes in here every other day or so asking where it's at, how's the process going, etc. I'm perturbed about it, that's all. But, since I've backed out on my interest in getting it from EF (though I'd still want one), I'll back out of this thread. I apologize for being rude.
SilverElantra
10-09-2007, 02:12 AM
just seeing if there is any update since its been a few weeks and what are the chances of us getting a fluxion style rear bumper for the elantra, the more i look at it the more i would like it. or something closer to the jetta rgt bumper without the bumper lights. hate bumoer lights, they kill a lot of body kits for me, vents and lights on bumpers are cardinal no no's.
