Checking Interest Now...
Ok, I have seen alot of people myself included interested in Cloud bumpers front and rear as well as the side skirts. I am currently out of the country (US) but plan to have a full kit made if the interest is out there, shortly after I return. In order to do so I would have to fund 10 kits, and I will do that out of pocket as long as I think I can sell the rest later. Here is my "guestimate" of what I would sell them for.
Front Bumper $600 Rear Bumper $550 Side Skirts $425 Prices may change because I have only been given an initial quote and then there are design issues I am certain will have to be worked out since we have very little other than some blurry pictures to go from. So let me know who is interest and what suggestions anyone may have. Thanks. |

Not to be a downer, but I'll throw my name into the interested hat, you're probably about the 10th person to say they are going to build a body kit only to eventually realize just how costly and time consuming it is, but nonetheless, good luck, and i'd definately buy em if you made em. Chris.

Re: Checking Interest Now...
i agree and understand, I know there has been alot of people start and it goes no where or just one of a kind or disappears.
I am not making them I will be paying to have them made. Earliest I can get them started will be in December so that is why the checking interest now. Plus it is alot of money out of my pocket up front but I think it is better that way than going for a group buy. Thanks for the interest and I will use this thread to check back on those interested as the time gets closer. |

Interested... but share the same opinion with SVXMAN2001.
Many people come out and get our hopes up... and then fade out.... |
Re: Checking Interest Now...
ok again I understand about the hopes up and then nothing and I don't intend to do it because I plan to do this pretty much regardless of who says they are interested but I just need some patience with time. It will work easier if someone is in california and wants to donate their car for the build and I can guarantee their kit for free. I may even be able to start this sooner if a few other things work out. i am just hoping to get an idea of 10-15 people interested and I will contact those on this post first come first serve and if one passes it will go to the next. My only real issue is concern over copyrights and I have ideas for small changes to the original cloud design that will still keep the over all look but enough to make it my own for build if needed other than that hopefully we get more interest otherwise I should be contacting you guys in the next few months. btw build time is 6-8 weeks from start to finish and price will start as negotiable for the first few kits but it will be fiberglass for those curious.
thanks. |
Re: Checking Interest Now...
Sowise, I am not in California, rather in NY, however, i do have a spare front and rear bumper and set of stock side skirts (lower moldings)...let me know if this will help the cause...

Re: Checking Interest Now...
yeh I am willing to send mine too but the company doing it would like a car there to do the fit up, I have to do an engine swap when I get back so my car isn't even an option (besides the long drive to CA) but if they ask for parts I will definitely let you all know to see who is willing to donate.
If I get someone in CA willing I can start them sooner so hopefully a few others will see this post in the next few days. Otherwise it will definitely have to wait till I get back in December. |
Re: Checking Interest Now...
Instead of copying someone else's design.....
And since you're already going to put alot of work into this. Why not just design your own body kit? :rolleyes: |
Re: Checking Interest Now...
I figured a question like this would come up.The Cloud kit as far as my research has only consisted of the side skirts the front and rear bumpers were not made and the pictures of them we have seen are photoshops. I could be wrong and some things get lost in the translation from Japanese to english but I don't believe they were ever produced for sale. That and you don't see much of the inner structure that will make it strong enough to hold up and not vibrate or break.
I think I am using the cloud pictures as a platform to design mine from because it looks great on the car and matches what I want and because alot of others feel the same way about it too. I think of this potential kit being listed not as a "Cloud Clone" but more of an "Inspired By Cloud" type thing. |

I believe it is in Riverside CA the build takes 5-7 weeks. The "donor" car gets a free kit and will be the person who verifies the design. I plan to contact them in the next week via email to get an idea of their design process and how much input they require or need. If you are still interest definitely let me know and I would be happy to work with you on this outside the forum.
Thanks |

sorry guys been dealing with some internet and work issues. I hope to have some more info after this weekend. I actually am getting a break from work to check stuff out and get better details.
I need to find out their "process" for design and build still. The plan is to have the overall look be very similar upon initial appearance to the Cloud pics that have been posted. I would like to know which design you all prefer for the rear bumper. (hopefully the attachments work) |
