RonJon Deisgn 3G TL BodyKit Pics of Progress, Updated Pics, Page 2

So i'm flying out to Cali to check out the Kit and give some pointers on the design direction. So far the front is not complete, but headed in the right direction. still needs to have the side vent and nostrils added in, also the Side Skirts need sum underpart work, and vent adjustment. the rear has just been started, but...
WE ARE ON SCHEDUALE for May 2005 or even earlier. We have 2 kits left, but we also have a dist in Canada and Puerto Rico who are each getting 10 kits, which prompted us to build 25 more, which will be available one month after the initial 25. Thanks for the support and I will make sure with my honor that I will pay excessive attention to the details and quality.

Yes, The crew is so busy with the kit, I don't want to siderail them. Once the Kit is being wrapped up, we will tackle the Grille, which will be available for the OEM bumper and the Ronjon Design bumper. Also we will be making a rear window spoiler and possible a rear decklid spoiler that comes off the trunk a bit. No more info available yet tho.

doesn't look too bad. when I saw the prototype pics I wasn't impressed. thinking it had too many open holes, cuts and mesh... I was lookin for something a little less aggressive. but from those pics it doesn't look bad at all!!!

either way, great work on being the first to do a kit for the TL!! i am really excited to see the final outcome. GREAT WORK RON!!! KEEP IT UP!!!

oh yah, and count me in on a window spoiler!!

Take your time, RonJon. Since I'm putting the pieces on myself, I want to make sure everything goes on smooth.

2 more months can't wait. Good to hear your on track Ron. Have mad faith in your kit, I bought it before the car which I'm picking up next weekend. Don't keep the new ride naked for too long, thanks for the update.

Wow! It's been amazing to see the progress - from early concepts and drawings up to now actually seeing it come together on a car. I wish you the best of luck and hope that everyone takes note of the dedication, hard work, and commitment you've put into this.

Thanks for the support guys, I'm doing my best to mmake the kit the best it can be. I will be in the LAX area for 2 days from this tues to thurs but I will be making rounds to all the companies over there selling some work that I have left over. I have to take advantage of my time there and get all the business meetings under my belt from the Kit to the forged 3-piece wheels.
Also, we do have 2 kits left and posibbly will be adding anbother 25 kit run shortly after, for which 20 have been accounted for, leaving an aditional 5 for sale.

here are some better pics, with a few directional comments, still has a bit of way to go.
Mods, can you update the title to say "updated pics, pg2" in place of "50% done" thanks

Rondy, I had a question, the A-spec lip curves up in the center, to leave space for air to flow to the plastic strip under the engine, which essentially pushes air up to the engine in order to cool it (the 3rd gen TL is a bottom breather). I notice you kit covers this space, won't this affect the airflow in cooling the engine?

The under part will be technically sound to allow air to flow into the engine bay and to act like a spoiler, increasing downforce ever so slightly. We will use the same characteristics that Acura has used on the OEM lip kit underneath.
