the news is that ronjon has decided to pay the manufacturing company a little extra money so that way they could reduce the time from a delay of 10 weeks to a delay of 6 weeks...let's see what happens though...

Jinen, I'm sure your sacrifice will pay off. That car is going to look so sweet when you get that free kit we're all going to be jealous.

Yeah, I had to dig from outside the budget to get more man hours on the project, trying to get the kit out asap, and keep it in May release as originally promised. It's looking good so far and i can't wait to get the kit in. Might have one more batch of pics coming in, then the real thing.
check here for updates, the higher the number, the more recent...

Yes, hopefully the sacrifice will pay off...I'm becoming very impatient because it is taking longer than I was told but RonJon has tried his best to speed up the process so I really can't ask for more...Initially I was told 10 weeks and it actually will take about 16-17 weeks (hopefully if there are no additional delays), so I am quite disappointed about that ...but there really isn't much that I can do at this point...

Also, I really don't consider the kit to be "Free" becuase the manufacturing company is keeping my stock bumpers (front, rear and side) along with my body kit (front, rear and side) that I paid for when I bought the car...so I consider it to be more like an "even-exchange"...

but on the bright side, the kit is looking hot so let's see what happens...

What the hell do they want that old shit for? They could have at least let you dump that stuff on ebay for some pocket change.

That's probably what they are going to do. Man if anyone wants to trade me stock for Ron Jon please let me know!

Well that was my initial plan but there was all this confusion...Initially the company told me that I could keep my parts but then they said I would not be able to since they use it to make the mold...From this mold, they create all the additional body kits...

Once I found that out, I was very hesitant to go with this production but since I gave my word to RonJon I went ahead with it...The way things are going now, the uncertainty about when I'll have my car back is really starting to get to me now...it's annoying me more and more every day...

Ahhhh well, at least this saved RonJon about $800 because he didn't have to go purchase the A-Spec kit since it was already on my car and I'll get an even hotter kit than before...I can't wait till I get my car back...

I do not understand why they would need A-Spec kit to create a mold. Dows that mean the RonJon kit will fit over A-Spec? What about people with stock kit? Will the production from this mold will fit on stock?

I don't get the a-spec part maybe for it was for height reference. But the whole kit is replacement parts no 3m tape for the gaps and no lines showing the kit. Nice and Clean.

No, the RonJon kit is the full bumper...so you have to remove your stock bumper and/or any a-spec parts and replace the ENTIRE bumper...

I don't exactly know why they need the A-Spec kit to create this mold, but I am assuming that it would be for dimensions, height clearance, shape...not too sure on that...that would be a good question to ask RonJon...
