Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Group Buy 98+ Body Kit GB/July 25th Update

I love it I wanted as soon as we can get it. I hope it will be soon. Keep up the good work.
Can't wait till it's done.

Well as soon as I've confirmed the total number of buyers, we'll get a Contour to their shop where it will take them 2-3 weeks to finish the kit and have it installed on the Contour. At that point, payments will be requested and as soon as all of the money is collected, they will then produce the set amount of kits. So I'd say by late May you could have this kit shipped to your door.

Carisma will be using hand laid fiberglass which is a superior way to produce fiberglass. Many of the stories out there about cheap body kits cracking and all that eventually comes back to the companies who make them using cheaper ways of spraying the fiberglass and resin which compromises the strength of the kit and leads to a frail product. The way that Carisma will be laying down the fiberglass is really labor intensive and expensive to make but designing a high quality kit is what they've promised to me and what they pride themselves on. And judging by the dozens of Carisma kits I've seen in person including their new one for the IS300, I can attest to this. I wouldn't have went with them if I felt we wouldn't be getting a durable and quality product.

As far as the sideskirts, no they will not have a jacking point to remove because it would take away from the overall look of the sideskirts. However, instructions will be available so that people who need to take the side skirts off in case of a flat tire, getting on a lift etc. can do so without much hassle.

Terry,
I've been with ya since Day One. Good work.
*As noted in my PM, what about grilles??

****Anyone want just the rear end?****
Please PM me if you are interested.

I'm in! Can't wait to see it on a Tour!

oh yeah the grilles, I'm thinking that so many people have different grilles that it would be pointless to offer mesh with this kit that wouldn't match what they have in their grille ring. perhaps I could get in touch with the grill masters like Stazi, Performance Fords etc. to see if they'd be willing to offer a solution for this. depends on what everyone wants to do.

Hella:

Well you know I'm in for sure... Sorry Lenny...

HeLLA YEAH!

I'm in.

And I'm also down with making those rears big enough to fit a little larger pipes? But if not I dont care. Bag it Tag it.

Hella-I really appreciate what you are doing and what you have done. I can't wait to have this kit! I have seen a lot of group buys fail, but this one will definately work! Again, thanks for all of your hard work!

PS-I'm STILL in for the whole kit!

I think alot of people have Elkys grill which would look good in the body kit................

I'm interested, TRed SVT body kit FS
