finally finished(last week) the prototype for the 2.5.. currently in the mold process.. hopefully everything will be done in two weeks..

 

2.5 bumper with a 3.2 motor?

 

no no no, hes making a 2.5 bumper for us 2.5ers but since he doesnt have a 2.5TL he said he changed the bumper on his 3.2 to a 2.5 so he can test it out or something well id use but they're not working

 

I see.

 

yea that is a 2.5 bumper on a 3.2TL.. the 2.5 bumper is only about 1/3 inch smaller in width compared to the 3.2.. even fits with the beam and foam...

 

Thats good to know!

 

sweet looks good!!

 

i want mine now...

BTW: that looks bad ass... can't wait till you start selling it... quick question... is this going to be like a lip kit, where you keep your original bumper but just add the lip... or is it going to be the whole bumper??? because i might need some work done to my bumper if thats the case... or even a new one...

 

it will be a add-on lip kit.. what kind of work do you need done to your bumper?.. if you or anyone else is interested in the oem factory bumper, let me know.. i purchased the one in the photos brand new from acura at 420.00+ .. i will have no use for it once i'm done with the kit.. 280 OBO +shipping

 

I noticed the grill is just about done too. good work. How did you find those mini shocks to hold up your hood?

 

Since his car is a 3.2 with the 2.5 bumper, the shocks came OEM. All 3.2's have those shocks.

 

how long do they last? I have a lexus ls400 and they're about shot. each time i open the hood, i have to place a wooden bar to hold it up. otherwise that shit comes back down on my head.

 

Not forever. They will wear out. You should be able to get replacement shocks for 20-30 bucks at an auto parts store.

 

Man that grille looks fuckin HOTT. I want one soooooooooooooo bad. Hurry Hurry Hurry!!!! Great work bro!

 

will the 3.2 grill look similar to that one. Just wondering?

 

hurry up bro.. i need that grille!!!...

 

add on lip kit... thanks, now i need to get my front bumper fixed and rear bumper re-painted... I had a bit of a fender bender when i first got the car... dumb mitz-u-bishy cut in front of me and i rear-ended the bastard... I had no time to brake so instead of trying to swerve out of the way and bust one of my headlights and my brand new (at the time) clear corners, i split second decided to hit the bastard straight on... ended up cracking my front bumper down the middle... i'll take pics...

anyways, you are doing an awsome job on the kit... didn't notice the grill... will that be an option or will it come with the kit... i want mine NOW!!!

 

like i have been saying through out this entire process...i got my dimes and nickles saved up waiting on this kit to go on sale...BTW TLxRaCeR any word yet on how much the kit is gonna cost? and like spook said will the grill be an option or will that come with the kit? Awesome job that you are doing man...i had a chance to sell my TL and buy a newer one but when i thought about all the bad ass shit im gonna do to this car once you put this kit out i said NO F*%$#ING way am i selling my baby...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

 

well, i tried.. i'll just let you guys decide once i get some photos up.. it was much harder to fabricate for the 3.2 grille since it mounts to the hood and there is really no space to add the mesh... we came up with a two peice design on the 3.2 grille (three if you include the mesh). . i've been busy lately, but i'll try to take some photos of the grille as well as the fender flare progress...

 

hehe.. thats exactly how i feel about my car.. keeping it forever.. (knock on wood)

prices are now posted on our website, but i like to hear acurazine's proposal on what kind of deal we can work out to set up a group buy..

 

It said muffler must be relocated? I may need to purchase the eyelids from you. mines are starting to crack.

FOR YOU LAZY FOLKS, HERE IS THE LINK OF PRICES (its basically the same price anyhow):

2.5 - link

3.2 - link

 

to clearify the issue on the muffler, there are 3 ways about doing this:


1. you can also have the muffler tips extended and lower to go with the lines on the kit (recommended... shouldn't cost much: estimating $15-40)

2. completely relocate the muffler lower and extended out. (estimating about $40-60 depending on location)

3. go with a new Y-pipe and make it a dual exhaust (price depends on the mufflers itself as well as the installation - my planned setup : authentic 5Zigen Fireball T/C X2 (estimated retail $450) + piping and labor (about $100-150) total about $600)

also, i am still debating if i should make an optional flange on the rear lip so people can cut out the exhaust opening(would look as if the part was designed that way).. i was planning it, but the factory muffler location throws out the design of the rear lip... i'll let you guys know if i do...

hope this helps.. if you have any other concerns, let me know..

 

TLxRaCeR let me know whan u have it for sale, price is just what i thought it would be, not too pricey. my e-mail is longeyes23@hotmail.com, i cant wait my ride is going to be soo nice thanks to u. keep up the nice work and keep it postted

 

on the site it says that the inspired Plus package is an 8 piece kit...but if you count up the front, rear, and side skirt plus the eye lids spoiler and grill that only adds up to six pieces. am i missing something???...anyway group buy or no group buy im buying this kit...maybe not all at once but this kit will be MINE!!!...can't say it enought bro...awesome job man!...if you ever wanna come down to Houston...drinks on me! :-)

$1,600 for all 8 peices... alright... once my TL's Suspension is fixed... maybe between Feb... and i get some extra cash... i'll be ready to get your kit by March or April... just in time for my b-day... can't wait...

 

my birthday is around that time too, but i think i would get the kit before then..
yea painting it will be a bicth, my paint was custom made i wounder if the guy that paint my ride will remember how to mix the color.

 

what a small world my b-day is around that time too...but im gonna wait until i have the money to do it all, kit and paint...since i dont have the money to do it all at the same time im thinking bout buying the kit piece by piece until i have all four pieces and then take it all to the body shop where i have some tricks up my sleeve for you guys...I want to put it in the Texas Showdown car show in the fall i want it all to be dome by then...
