For those of you who want to put down your deposit. Email me at rotaryextreme@aol.com. Paypal deposit will be $265.25 and the bumper will be sent to your verified paypal address. Money order deposit will be $250 and the bumper can be sent to any address you want. Now we just have to decide to use the 99 spec light or just the stock signal lights. I want to get this finished in Feb or March. This has been talked about for some time and no other company is willing to do it. Now it's your chance to get something not even Japanese people have. Get serious, put down your deposit so I can get it rolling. THANK YOU!!

that GTC with the 99 spec lights looks sooooooo badass. And cheap! (tho of course paint and fitting required) I want it, but there's more important things to spend the money on right now (like a tranny rebuild! ) I really hope they get this together though, so I can buy one later...

What about the lack of mouldings, think it will look good? Also will it match the lnes of the 4 series? The stock fenders will line up?

Chuck, you mentioned that if this group buy goes smoothly that you will be making some side skirts and rear bumpers also??..Let say i bought a GTC bumper, will you give me a discount on the sides and rear?...yknow a package deal.

It is a possibility, only if the bumper group buys works out... If not, there will no sideskirts/rear to get a deal on... There are only 2 more days, and unless we get some buyers, there will be no front ends, and no matching sideskirts/rear pieces...

as of right now, he needs 3 more to complete the group buy, and start making the bumpers. One of my friends is giving me the money to order his on Wednesday or Thursday. That'll make 2 left. There are a couple of people who are on the fence, and won't order until person #9 places his order, so we REALLY need one more person to make this happen!

It's not too bad, really. $250 down, and $250 when it's done. You'll have to buy the 99 spec turn signals as well, but you'll have one hell of a sweet looking FC!!!

Is this the same group buy from last month?

I really hope this goes through cause I don't have the money right now (I'm in the same boat as you Gene). 99 spec all the way!

So let me get this straight.....

The definite decision is to convert to the 99 spec lights? That means $250 deposit, 250 for the finished bumper and an additional 400 for the lights.

I really like the bumpers, but don't like having to almost double the price for stupid lights.

I honestly don't think something like the GT-C or C-West would look good AT ALL on an FC... Not really a car that would be complimented from a style like that...

i think that those would look sweet! the fc's front end's aren't mean or aggressive enough1!! but the rear end is just menacing or at least the S5's are!! they are sweet and with a hood schoop and that front end it would be pretty cool!!!

? after he has this mold can anybody just buy it and he makes it! or do you always have to have group buys?

I believe this will be for sale after the group buy is finished. At least that is what I remember. The cost will be a little higher from what I understand.

Later

Yes the bumpers will be $600 vs. $500 for the group buy...

Some recent pics, should be available in days...



The side molding pieces will be shaved smooth... and a spot for the side lense retained... The 2 screws for the lenses will be extra mounting points for the bumper too.

I believe one group buy was completed. The bumper had some fitment issues, and I'm not sure if they'll do another run. I purchased the prototype from chuck, so he may not do any more The first bumpers were too wide on the sides, and required a little work to look right. I'm doing a tripoint wide body with mine, so it actually works in my favor. If chuck decides not to do this again, I might make a mold with his permission, assuming enough interest. Carl Byck
