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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 :-) )

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