Who had the RaceOnUSA Kit?

[www.raceonusa.com]

The kits are actually fiberglass, so they will need more work than OEM pieces, but he cost is much less than OEM. We now have the 2dr and 4dr kits in stock finally, so if you would like to check them out just stop by our shop if you are in southern California. We've also updated the extra pictures of each part on our website too.

I just talked to raceonusa. They are sold out. Three more months for another kit! I told/asked him to post some feed back from the guys that bought it. I guess one guy in CA bought the last one.

Incresed sales volume, and, some sort of credit line from this new venture can and will do wonders on bank loan paper.

Drop shipments are a great way to go. but I would request a complete sample first, test fit it to your vehicle and install it / paint it if you must.

CA has a User Tax now, basically they want to collect on out of state sales or purchases,
well, KMA i say.

as far as the kits go, you could post them on ebay, looking at 12% worth of expenses.
not that bad as you won't have to carry an inventory.

I know you been in business for a while and hope it all goes well with this new venture.
Best Of Luck and have a Prosperous '07 !!!

I have finally found a kit! I cant wait! But I dont like the door Caps. Or the sides skirts.

[Ray Smoodiver]

Or because they don't fit great.

No, its because they're cheap.

That and M-tec is played out.

[schmidty]

I'd be interested if I knew it was a good fit. My only other option is euro bumpers, which is still #1 in my book.

what are the "door caps" that it comes with?

the door caps would be those parts going over your actual door it seems like. The only ugly part of the kit?

[george graves]

I think a TecII kit shipped to your door for around $600 would do just fine.

I think you are on to something...I wonder how perfect the kit needs to be for the e30 croud not to turn it's nose up on a otherwise $2000 kit

I wonder the same question, who has this kit?

Luke, if you go through with becoming a dealer, count me in for a kit!

I called them about this kit:
http://www.raceonusa.com/index.asp?P...OD&ProdID=5521

said it was in stock, ready to ship for about $900.00 to the door.

Luke it seems like they offer 4 different variations of the kit .
They all have different part numbers at least , so they aren't specifically oriented towards the metal bumpered cars .

Yeah, but you can do real MtecII on plastic bumpered cars...so (IMHO) why do knock off crap? Hard to get and expensive, but us metal bumpered guys are screwed harder than that. The point was that they make one targeted to us early body guys.

Sounds like the material is the "new" flexible fiberglass that Felip has been using for his products .
That stuff is miles ahead of the old school FG products back in the day .

Yeah, I sure hope so. I like the look of the kits on their pages (except for the shitty wheels) Regular fiberglass is a no-go on my cars. I would have a hard time trusting that stuff.

I dunno who Felip is.

Or because they don't fit great.

Yeah...shitty fit makes any kit a no-go. They assure me that they fit like OE. I don't believe shit until I have done it, especially when a salesman says it.

I might check into becoming a "dealer" for their crap later in the week .

They seemed pretty relaxed about it. They wanted to make sure I have an actual retail storefront ( I do) a business license (I do) and business liability insurance (I do).

so the final cost is $600?

I don't have concrete pricing yet. Since Oregon has no sales tax, I can sell them with no tax to any other state, basically charging about a 5% markup to handle paperwork. I am estimating a price based on conversations with a sales manager there. In other words, guessing.

I dunno, guys. IE said they were willing to sign me as a dealer, then said I would get a 10% discount...if I stock their stuff. Fuck that. If I am going to stock a product, tie up my dollars, I need to see something useful out of it...either buying power on other pieces or profitibility. These guys will let me sell you their stuff without any hassles...ship directly to you, you pay me, I pay them...you get a huge discount (in their words) so our cars are cooler, cheap. Otherwise, why bother? I still have to pay taxes on the "income", I still have to pay a percentage of the total on Visa processing charges (1.75%, roughly) but it makes my overall business volume go up, so I have a better chance of a business loan in 2009.

Enough out of me.

Who has the damn kit! Where are the pics!

Well, after I get my taxes back.....we shall talk about seeing if you can get just the bumpers.
When taxes come in, I will PM you Luke.

Looks good, personally I'd do euro bumpers for half that price and call it a day. I don't think my car needs or would look good with sideskirts. Not a bodykit guy though. Someone has to be the guineapig, if I see it in person and like the fit and finish I might be persuaded. Sorry, I'm rambling. In response to the original question, the thread that brought it up by smonk is here:

I'd pm that elguapo fella to see if he ended up putting one on.
