Update us?
No plans for any body parts, just wheels from now on. I am done with these bodykit suppliers.

Not sure if this was announced yet, but there you go. Don't hold your breath for the A-bar or RJ lip kit for the MMC TL.

Hope you dont mind me posting this Ron.

Well....we already knew this, according to ron it just isn't worth it and I don't blame him. To hard to compete with OEM and making something from scratch that is not machined is not exactly easy.

Yea - he's mentioned that in a few threads already. I don't blame him. In this economy, you sometimes need to dial in your focus to be successful.
Gotta put your capital towards where you think it's going to give you the best return.

Thanks for the support, I wish I could win the lotto and just do this for fun. But I guess I have to play lotto first, lol.

BTW, we still have a little stock left and we do plan on completing the 4G tL kit production before we call it a day.

Rightarooney, only the 09-11. Who knows what might happen in the future, but as of now, I want to focus on wheels and relive myself of the headache associated with the body kit industry.

What styles of wheels are you guys developing? Any mesh style or others. I really want to upgrade my wheels soon. I like the idea that your wheels are Acura specific.

Rondy, I still think you make the best Aero Kit available, but I understand why you're doing this. The Aspec Kit pales in comparison.

Timing is not good. I don't think many people will buy new wheels and have them going through salts and snows in the winter months.

Timing is perfect, Jan/Feb is when most people start to shop around for wheels, not to mention wheel and tire shops start to stock up in time for spring. This is the industry norm.

Sorry, 18" with those widths would have to be forged mono block. You are better off with what you already have. Actually, we have a GB getting started very soon for the DT3-Forged in 18" x X.X" width.
