Just a little heads up, but, this doesnt promise anything... some guys I know have opened a body kit business... no cheap shit, this is a legit business. I have seen some of the work that they have done on civic si's and they are tight... anyways, I told them that there is no kit available for my car... and they may be designing one & using my car as a base model... I will keep everyuone posted with pics & info... as soon as I get some literature from them ,I will post it here... stay tuned....

ChrisKelly5

Here is their website.... the blue Si in the pics is my friends car that I was talking about....
www.henshinauto.com

I will let you know details as things progress...

Hey Chris,
Where are they opening up?

KitsJAG5254

Hey Chris,
Give me a holler once you have a word that the company will make a kit for out CLs. I've been waiting for this.... I hope it will work out.

ChrisKelly5

They are already open, on beach blvd in Jax ... I went there yesterday & watched them fit some X-1 fenders on a Civic Si, they seem to do really high quality work... I am taking my car there this weekend so they can do some measuring. I told them that I didn't want anything real drastic, as I think the CL is a "classy" car & wouldn't wanna rice it out... I also told them that most CL owners probably feel the same way. I will keep everyone updated as this progresses .... please be patient though, as I work during the week, and they are gonna do mine as a "test" kit. Hopefully everything will work out good & they will be the first to have a kit for the CL's. (they were kinda stoked about that) Peace....

Yes please keep us posted. We need something for our car. Something exclusive, something tight. I want to get a kit for my ride!

Yes please keep us posted. We need something for our car. Something exclusive, something tight. I want to get a kit for my ride! From what I see on the website, the work looks good! I too have been waiting for this for a long time. Thanks.

Hey Chris,

I appreciate you doing this for everyone. I hope it goes well. If I'm not mistaken Henshin is the company responsible for the buddy club kit, and I think they already have a buddy club 2. I also like the X-1 fenders.

ChrisKelly5

KitsJAG5254

Sup Chris,

Give me some details if something new is happening with your car and Henshin aight. Appreciate man...just really cant' wait for this to happen. I'll pose some pictures of my car later...

ChrisKelly5

The body kit is a GO! as long as we have 10 people... I am "1" so we need 9 more. I talked with them briefly today, and he said they would design one as long as we had 10 kits.... Now.. PLEASE be patient, he said he would do everything... INCLUDING fenders (if they are wanted) for around 500-600 dollars... as far as the design of the kit... it is undetermined, I know everyone one is going to say "I dont wanna buy it if I cannot see it." So... I am gonna talk with him more this week. Please reply if you would like to be included, of course... you can back out right now... but, as this progresses.... we will have to have only "definite's" included..... more to come this week....

Woodsdaddy

Are they only going to do one run of 10 or is this going to be a regular kit that they will sell from now on?

DA_ILLEST_2.2

yo i'm in as long as i get ta see a pic of dis kit so just get me some pics and holla at me

KitsJAG5254

Hey Chris... so you're saying the whole body kit including the fenders will cost us $500-$600 right? How much time do we have? Thanks.

liquid_x

Chris check your PM

im quite interested......aslong as its made of urathane and i can see some pics, then i'd be a go!.....keep us informed, and see if you can get a hold of some priliminary sketches....maybe takem some pics of vielside's car to get their juices flowin....i'd like something similar to that with a bit different flare.....maybe a slightly more subtle front end....good luck, and KIT!!!

ChrisKelly5

To answer some of the questions.... I am not sure! I will ask him this week & then let you all know what they say! I will keep everyone posted as soon as I know more info...

ChrisKelly5

Alright, This first one will be a run of 10 kits (or more if people get in on it) After that, it will be up to Henshin... I am going to try and get them to generate some sketches or drafts of the kit after we take measurments... I am taking them some pics of VeilsideCL's car.... although I would like the front end to be a little more "calm" Let me know what you all think...

30CLstyle

I think Ill agree with the little more calm look, I about it, just call me when you head up there, Id like to go with ya, but you know that already, I just have to move my buget around a bit though with my bike and all, but Im up for it

skids

yeah im in too as soon as i see a pic!

-kazi

Yo I'm definately in on this one. We need 10 people! Come on guys. We once again have another chance to make this happen. If you can get some sketches please post and let us know! Thanks.

97AcuraCL

get me some sketches; get me some prices; and i might be down... I've gotta see something give me something. I can't just say i'm down beacuse i'm despirate for a kit. Gimmie prices and gimmie sketches then i'll see. But sounds good so far. So mark me down for the maybe. I've got the cash but not sure if i wanna spend it on finishing my system or getting this kit. Gimmie some sketches and I'll know.
either way; thanx for the heads up on the deal :-)

Casper98CL

if the $$$ is right and I like the kit.. I AM IN...

but only if those 2 things happen first!!!!


I like the VEILSIDE kit as is.. I think that is calm... more calm and it is a WW lip...

don_south37217

Ecerybody talk the talk. I want somebody to walk the walk. Whoever does decide to make this kit. I think they'll make a little profit. I'm in the process of ordering the W Typ kit and molding it on w/ the help of a local body shop instead of waiting around. Out w/ the old. In with the new.

ChrisKelly5

I spoke with the guys at Henshin again today, found out a few things... As someone stated before, they are the ones responsible for the "Buddy CLub 2" kit. They said that this is the style that they could make for our car... you can see pics of it at www.henshinauto.com and click on the "buddyclub2" image. Let me know how you all feel about it... I personally think the front may be a little "wild" for my taste. Although, I do like the back & the skirts..... so maybe we could use those with a WW front lip? (I think that would like tight) Now the bad news... it may be towards the end of summer before this happens.... reason being, they were at the Miami show last weekend, and they are now "Flooded" with orders. Everyone has been impressed with their product, because it is very high quality.... anyways, more to come...

KitsJAG5254

Hey Chris,

Hey, if they could get the kit done during the summer that will be great. Here's a proof also that Henshin might really make a kit for a CL because in the Miami show, they were looking at this CL (at the background you'll see them with their t-shirts and buddy club 2 shirts - pictures are attached).
I also attached a picture of a CL with a buddy club bumper (without holes on both sides) Aight Chris, I hope this works because I'm not sure about Ross' kit.

KitsJAG5254

here's the cl with bc kit just click on the link

ChrisKelly5

I need to know how many people would be in on buying a BUDDY CLUB 2 kit for our car around the end of summer.... if you need info about the kit, or wanna see what it looks like... go to www.henshinauto.com and click on the buddy club 2 logo! Thanks, Chris.

97AcuraCL

If the buddy club kit is the one on the civic on the henshi site I think it looks tyte. I would be in on it as soon as I see what it looks like (a definite either drawing or kit ON THE CAR) and I see how much it costs. I am interested in a kit; ESPECIALLY at the end of the summer; but I can't say yes for sure till I see waht it looks like and how much its gonna cost me. If the buddy club kit is the one on that beige CL on the link that KitsJAG5254 had; I wouldn't want i think its too much bumper; and actually kinda ugly just IMO; not taking anything from the owner who i'm sure worked verrry hard to do what he did.


Bottom Line; If it looks like the one on that civic at henshi.com; pending final sketch and pricing; I'd be down at the end of summer. If it looks like that beige CL; I wouldn't pay any amount of money for it and instead I'd finish up my stereo.

Either way thank ya much for putting forth this effort to give acura-cl.com members an oppertunity.

ChrisKelly5

It is the one on the blue civic on the Henshin site... NOT the one that was posted as a link by kitsjag (the beige one) ...

KitsJAG5254

Hey Chris, I am in man. Just keep us posted and give us a price. If you happen to get a pic or sketches, please post them if you can. By the way, I agree that the bc 2 looks tight than the one I posted. Thanks.

97AcuraCL

It looks great man; really it does. And I hate to be a picky ass hole but I'm 17 working trough high school. I can't just shell out close to $1000 for something I'm not 100% sure that I like. I really want to be in on this cuz i think it looks HOTT on the civic; but i've gotta at least see a sketch of the kit on the CL before i can say that I'm in.

I want to be in I've got teh cash; right now i'm 90% sure in....
but first I need....

1. Sketch or a pic of it on OUR car.
2. Cost or very good rough estimate.
3. Estimated Time of completion.

Guys once again I'm sorry if i seem like an ass about this. I j ust dont have $1000 to throw into something I'm not even 100% sure that I like. But if ur looking to see whos interested; I DEFINITLY am.

thanx again chris

KitsJAG5254

Hey I feel you 97AcuraCL. Same here man.. I have three jobs actually and trying to make some more money for this tight kit and for this fall semester (college). So I hope you could give us a sketch.... thanks man..

WhiteWu

Im interested, as long as it isnt too expensive.

SHYROCK7

if we were to get the kits.... we would have to loose our corner lights? (mine are clear like many of yous)

i would definately be in if the price range is between $500 ~$600.

97AcuraCL

i'd liek that price range as well; but i'm willing to pay a lil more for quality as well. you just tell us what they're asking. please dont put a $600 limit on it; have them say thats too cheap and wont produce it then everyone's screwed.

thanx again.

97AcuraCL

this post is dying; is this just another lost hope???

chris buddy dont let us down; i keep lookin at veilside's and ross' CL and keep droolin; i dont want no damn type R lip; i want something nice like that buddy club kit; come thru bro plz

Luckyax2

hell man I would pay $600 plus $120 shipping
only if it fit right with no mods needed
