looks great!
But, I was wondering if they make the ronjon kit without the side cutouts on the the front bumper side and sideshkirt toward the rear wheels (similar to ASPEC concept).

Kit turned out pretty close to the orinigal pics. What happen to the vent slits next to the grill, as well as the contrasting grey on the rear bumper? Now that these are done when should we expect shipment to begin for those of us that are having it prepped & primed?

Those small vents on top of the bumper right next to the upper grille interfered with the mounting points, so we had to remove them, besides, they didn't translate well enough, and the good thing about the brake ducts is that they don't protrude out, so a little bit of filler will cover them right up if you like. thanks for the feed back. wait till you see the car with the wheels.

I like the front Not bad

Rondog, where are the front plugs for the front license plate?
Did they paint the grille? The mesh grille would definitely look much better with that...looks good though...once the mesh grille is created, i'll put that on and then i think the contrast in the front bumper will stand out more and make the kit look even better...
Rets, I believe they have driven the car a little to see how it rides with the new kit...but mostly on local roads...I am not sure if they drove that on the highway yet...but once i get the car back, i'll drive on the highways and let you know...

whoa, check out pic number 4, they left your keys dangling from the key hole. hope nothings scratched up there
here is a lil psd if the stock grill was takin out
while drooling at the kit, i wished that you had changed the shape of the top grill as well.
that would give it a totally different look then stock. a new grill area should have been redesigned. but then again that would be eliminating one of your future products
but yes, i am envious. however, i did promise myself that i wouldnt buy a kit again. too much of a hassle. but then again, this one doesnt look that low to the ground. nowadays, with the quality of polyurethane, its just like stock. or it can be if top notch materials are used

body kits dont normally come with license plate plugs or anything like that. it would demolish the whole look. if you really wanted it, you would probably have to drill the holes stright into the kit. the only good news is that you may be able to use the stock bracket. i guarantee it though, it will kill the whole look.

Just something to hold you off till the car arrives and we hook it up, right now in the other pics it's bone stock, with a kit, so it looks kinda tame. All the mods i did to this kit below were all done with a little filler, so you can even take it to the next level with some creativity. But i didn't want to force something too extreme onto everybody who wanted the kit. We'll have more images when the car arrives next week.

could someone do a photochop with the grille and just make it black but put an Acura logo on there...i know someone did something like that in the picture but take the picture that rondog has put on the site (the one that shows just the front bumper) and then black the grille out and put the "A" for Acura over there..
see i'm thinking that once I get the car, if I don't like the way the grille looks, then what if I paint it BLACK? like i would paint the entire grille black except the "A"? how would that look?

with this picture though, it looks like you would have to re-design the bumper again...because the grille looks like it's part of the bumper...and also the bottom part of the bumper is more sharp so you would have to redesign the bumper for that too...but i don't like the grille in this picture...what if you just black out the OEM bumper by painting it solid black and just let the A stand out...

so are you saying that people would have to opportunity to customize their kits or is it going to be standardized for everyone?

compared to kits for other vehicles, this is a relative bargain, especially when you see that most front bumpers cost around $1300 unpainted for the G35 Coupe. But i think that for this audience, your going to sell more kits if there isn't any more outside work to get the look you are advertising.
I dont like the idea of you having a bunch of ronjon customized vehicles floating around on the website, and then when people buy the body kit, ask why their front end doesnt look like the ones on the internet. Only to find out that they have to do some searching around for a reputable body shop around them, and spend even more time contracting them to do custom work....
Gonna run into some trouble with this plan I think, especially since the grille looks horrible stock on that new body kit of yours, and everybody that is working with the style of the car enough to install your body kit, wont hesitate making the next step and playing with the grille.

Wow what a bunch of picky people. If they aren't bitching about the car they bought they are bitching about something they but no effort into making. Hands down this has got to be the most picky bunch of people in the world. If you don't like then you don't.
Ron it looks great dude. Actually turned out better then the prototype pics. Can't wait to get mine within the next 2 weeks. Hopefully.

I have a 'DUMB' question about the paint match for Anthracite.
As we all know the color/paint of the Aspec Factory kits don't even come close to matching the Antracite TL's whatsoever...from what I gather, it is due to the material of the kits and its "reflection" of the paint??..
I am wondering if your kit will match any better (maybe you are using a different material than the Aspec?) or is it juat a lost cause with the Anthracite Color?...
Again, I realize this may be a dumb ass question, but I just had to ask....
