IMHO, FEED is a more aggressive look than autobahn.. com'on let's do this..

dbullock 04-18-2007 01:06 PM

What I don't like about the Auto Bahn is the sharp line that runs along the top of the bumper. It just doesn't look right. The FEED is definitely the nicest I have seen.. even more that the MazdaSpeed which looks great.

Balboa 04-18-2007 01:15 PM

3 more!!

FEED has the right amount of aggressive look and intimidation, but *NOT* over-the-top.

FEED has the "whiplash" factor, with people taking second looks, and third looks.

When FEED passes by, people will say.... "Whoa, what car was that?" .... adding a little mystery to its understated sexiness.

Women will throw their panties at your car, and men will seeth with envy but at the same time ... unquenchable lust.

In the end, if this FEED list pulls through, you will be one of only a handful of lucky bastards in the entire USA to own this amazing and unique body kit.

jptalky,

I urge you to join the *exclusive* FEED list of a few good men and women.

Ladies and gentleman,

Here again is the object of our desire.

TomAssBender 04-18-2007 04:27 PM

i am curious about the alignment of the front end and the side skirts. in some pictures it looks like the front bumper angles/slopes up at its edges and doesnt line up with the side skirts?

oh, and I totally agree about that AutoBahn line across the top, yuck

I would think once we hit 15 we should make sure everyone confirms they're in before deposits start going out.

2 to go!

how much is the deposit?

A measly $200.00 deposit

mountain 04-18-2007 06:25 PM

ShineAuto will use the $200.00 deposits to order the original FEED body kit, then create a mold based on the original kit to create a flexible FRP replica that he sells to the people in the group buy list at prices that are 1/3 less than the original.

People *not* in the group buy list may be charged MORE, and will have to wait at the end of the line.

Wanganrx8 04-18-2007 06:38 PM

so it's a 200 deposit and 450 for the front? or does the 200 get deducted fron the 450? and does shine notify you when you send the 200?

mountain 04-18-2007 06:39 PM

TOMASS,

Per nSanity, the Scottish bloke with the one and only FEED in Europe, fitment is excellent on the original kit.

Since ShineAuto replicas have good reputation for good fitment, I would not worry about a FEED replica by Shine.

They were saying its on a par with the Aston Martin fiberglass parts they do work on (the Aston Martin dealership uses them for some of their work).

The fitment was spot on, the painting of the kit was problem free, there are no cracks in the kit, no paint peeling, only chips are from motorway driving and small stone chips but that will happen on stock, let alone the bumper. And the kit is far from brittle.

If shine can replice the quality FEED has, then power to them, and I understand you guys want a replica for cheaper than the authentic, but don't go bashing the authentic saying its poor quality blah blah blah.

Holy crap only one more... That's awesome. My "tell two friends" idea worked! Shine, let's make it happen!

This is only an interest list. When we reach 15, ShineAuto will move this list to the Group Buy subforum, and a final group buy list will be posted. Once 15 SERIOUS buyers are in the list, ShineAuto then notifies and collects the $200 deposit. Shine then orders the original FEED kit, makes a mold, then starts to fabricate the FEED replica based on FIFO (first in, first out).

Then Shine collects the balance and charges shipping.

Example:

Front ---> $450.00
minus (200.00) deposit
______________
Balance $250.00

Plus shipping and handling to delivery your FEED kit to your state.

mountain 04-18-2007 06:52 PM

TOMASSBENDER,

Get on the list buddy, so we can get this baby started.

marvin_rock 04-18-2007 06:52 PM

Guys, anyone think we should move this to a new thread since this is getting rather large. A new one with 14 names already on it sounds good (just bump the list #'s higher and we are sure to get more names that way! I don't think I'm allowed to do that though. Shine!

ah sweet well then the only problem i see now is the wait, doesn't it take about 10 weeks for the feed kit to come to the states?

dbullock 04-18-2007 07:02 PM

first in first out? Hmm... let me cut-n-paste and bit.. there... I'm first now. ;-)
(seriously though.. we should keep the true list in the same order to be fair to everyone)

I only see a few people looking to do the side skirts. I was just toying with the thought of using the MazdaSpeed skirts. Any opinions? (post.. keeps our thread on top :-) )

The FIFO (first in, first out) is invoked based on who makes the deposit first. That is the REAL FiFo list.

ShineAuto is currently selling a side skirt that is similar to the mazdaspeed for less than half the price.

dbullock 04-18-2007 07:12 PM

Ok.. thanks mountain.

How would this FEED front look with the ACCOLADE fenders?

Anyone have Photoshop skills?

You are quick! What do you think mountain keeps posting pics for! But yeah, The way shine will work it is pretty much is the first ones to pay will be the first ones served. With this just being an interest list, money talks, and those people get server. To me that means I will be in the top 5 because my money is just sitting in the bank.

Let's go get some of the vertex guys, they are pretty much screwed anyway!
