Just wanted to let everyone know that is in the market for a body kit. There is a new kit that is coming out very soon (around mid to late January) and you can see it in person at the upcoming JGTC/ D1 event on the 18th and 19th. It is a full urethane kit and will consist of a full front bumper replacement and sideskirts. If it sells well, then the company will probably look into doing a rear piece as well but for now there is no rear. Check out the link on my signature to see a little sneak peak of the prototype front bumper during production.

 

heh.



It doesn't show anything

 

they make some nice kits
I bet it will be nice

 

From what I can see it looks like a knockoff of the AUTOBAHN kit.

 

if it looks like auto-bahn, i will be all over it.

 

you're right, from what we can see, it looks similar. I like auto-bahns kit - very clean, doesn't go too far... but they are only sold in japan and are made out of fiberglass.



hopefully the price is decent and can work with fog lights.

 

the more i look into it, it doesn't look like its a replica of the autobahn kit. Well hopefully it isn't that is... they're suppose to be "innovative concept and design". The lip looks good from what i can tell.

 

it does look similar to the auto-bahn design but not quite the same.. might be the angle, might be the urethane.. why are people so hard on fiberglass anyway?

 

fiberglass brakes,chips ,cracks very easily

 

in response to some of the posts. The only similarity to the autobahn kit is that there is soft line near the top of the bumper opposed to the Autobahns hard line. Those who attend the JGTC show in the LA area this coming Dec 18th and 19th can see the kit in person and have more questions answered. Once you see the whole kit you will see that it does not look anything like the autobahn kit except for that soft line. We kept it clean and aggressive looking.

If there are any more questions please keep posting them.

 

looks just like 360.. cool ha ha

 

Will you post pics after the show? I'm not in LA so I won't be out that way.

If the kit looks good and is easier to get than the autobahn kit (and of course the price is right), you might convert a few of us. Autobahn's kit is simple, stylish and if you can afford their rear bumper/exhaust, really impressive. (The rear bumper costs 800 and the special exhaust for it costs 1200 or 2000 for titanium).

As far as fiberglass cracking/chipping easily, eurethane tends to flex too much and be too heavy.. It can sag because of it. Good quality eurethane and fiberglass tend to eliminate these problems and I'm about 99% sure that the autobahn kit is top quality fiberglass.

 

I will have photos of the kit on the website hopefully on Monday the 20th. The kit will definitely be easier to get than the Autobahn kit because it is made here in California and if you have any problems with it (you more than likely will not) but if you have any questions once you get it you can contact Tsunami rather than be stuck with something that came overseas and not be able to speak with that companies customer service reps.
I can tell you a lot of design and thought went into this kit as far as being on a vehicle that is used on the street every day. You have to think about people driving over speed bumps, up driveways, and we have added ramp angles to the front so that it will be less likely to scratch up your bumper going up driveways. The side vents are fitted to the oil coolers and pretty much everything has been looked at to make this bumper effective while driving rather than just building a kit based on looks rather than function. This kit will be both functional and have the looks behind it.

 

Now all we need is a price point... and where in California are we talking about? Could we possibly get the package via pick-up?

 

Very interesting. I have been looking for a kit for a while now but if it's anything like the pictures above, then you got me sold.

All I need now is a price range.

 

I don't believe the price is yet set but when I find out I will post the MSRP on the boards. You will be able to purchase it from a any dealer since they have dealers throughout the US as well as other countries and you can find their dealers by going to www.tsunami1.com. Once again please do not contact them directly because the sales people will not have any info on this kit until it is released. You guys on this board will be the first to know all the new info.

 

From what I have heard from a "secret reliable source" this is what is behind the hidden area...:D

 

 

lol D Menac.........

well like others have said.... i cant wait to see this in the market also.........ive been looking for a kit and this looks promising

 

Wow, How on earth did you happen to hack into our system and find that photo. We were supposed to show it off on the 18 and 19th but we might as well just not waste our time now.
HAHA Good post D MENAC

 

I hate to pat myself on the back but not a bad photo chop if I may say so myself. :D Glad you all liked it.

Looking forward to what it looks like after the 18th. There better be pics posted.

 

haha n1

 

just want to add that the support so far from tsunami is great
i cant wait to place a order for one

 

Bump?

 

i did a quick chop job on the red rx8 with the decals off and the kit is looking better and better in my eyes
im getting happy.
