Aerokit rear bumper

Hey,

I've just been to my smash repairers and saw the kit before installation. I'm so dissapointed that the inserts, well aren't really inserts but stickers!.

I expected them to be a mesh insert.

Oh my how surprising.

well i know for a fact if you look at the mini configererererer it shows a black mesh and if you put up a big fuss like a guy did at my dealer they will find a way to get mesh in there...

but this is MINIUSA

it will be a little more expensive than the cooper s inserts but not by much

if you guys can pm others that you know have the aero kit and that might be interested in this, all it will take is just 250 sigs and i can get the product into production, also if you do pm me it dosent mean you have to buy i just need names so i can get this cleared,

i think it will do great but the powers at be are hesitent thinking it would not sell, i think it could be a product that many aero kit owners would like

again we have all the stuff and cad design ready i just need the numbers to get the final sig

that will still need to be finalized but the price will not be much more than the stock cooper s grill inserts,


at or below 80 dollars is what im thinking, as i said before this will be for a injectioned molded peice and will be OEM standards

are website is www.griptuning.com and will have a mini body kit coming soon as well it will also be injectioned molded and be cheaper than the areo kit

so far we have a 300c body kit and are almost done with the neon srt kit
the mini is planed for spring 2006

thanks guys and please if your interested in teh aero kit inserts please im me so i can continue building the list

thanks
chris

I have the aerokit rear without any stickers at all. I think it looks better with out the mesh look stickers!
Proper mesh is a good idea tho! Should look cool!

Lol , it does look a lot better from the rear all in one colour! I think the stickers draw your attention too much being white !

They may look good if they where black tho similar to the cooper s grills!
