Well Woa,... technically... the bumpers are under the fascia. The fascia is just the pretty plastic on the outside.

O.K. Folks,

The body kit is going slow, so please don't expect them anytime soon. Can't get the price, quality and supplier lined up to our standards. If anything changes I will let everyone know right away.

Thanks for the notes!

Folks,

Believe it or not we are making progress and are working with 2 suppliers for the body kit. Taking molds to one of the suppliers this week. Molds will be updated and a prototype set of body panels should be available within a month.

Thanks

Since there are only 4 colors out there, will you be offering pre-painted pieces? I hope so since most of us have black MM's.

Good job on this and thanks for the updates!!!

Sorry to say, but we will not be offering painted pieces in the kit. We have talk to a number of companies and they all say that shipping paint pieces cannot be done without scratches ,etc. So, everyone recommended that we ship the pieces in white and once you have them fitted to the car, have them painted to match the car color. We have also heard that having them painted before installation can result in scratches to a painted surface. So, we are getting very close to making the kits, but they will be available only in white. They will come with all of the attaching hardware, fog lamps and wiring.

Thanks

..... but they will be available only in white. Thanks
I don't care!!! :D

As far as the hardware and such...I don't believe we ever talked about this one....
Is the front kit gonna be set up for all factory lighting, or will the need of a special fog light replacement purchase be required as well?

Still fine by me....hehehe. I still want one!!! I have a shop that can do it for me... :D

Question about the rear...since the new facia is shorter, will the stock pipes stick out too far? Looks like the prototype car has different tailpipes.

darebren, as far as a honeycomb grill no one has made anything yet, but Zack is working on something and Paul's has something too.

We will use new PIAA Halogen Fog Lamps and they will be included in the kit.
