As for fitment, you said your bodyshop could not install the kit, stating that fitment was entirely off. I had you goto my bodyshop and they showed you that it could be installed and that yours was doing something wrong. The kit fit fine when it left that shop. The "way you would like it to" fit is a molded kit. This is a lip kit and it will not look like a molded kit without extra work. If there was REAL interest from the I30 community, I could have had it developed in a more forgiving material. Thank goodness I didn't waste the money. The kit is guaranteed to fit. It was shown to CreativeDesignz that it did. I had to go through a lot to get the kit manufactured for a small community that had always said it wanted a kit. I managed to get one manufactured and suddenly there was no interest.
The rears you never mentioned to me were an issue and comparing the rears that I have, I don't think it is. I had always tried working with you DESPITE the fact that you never came through on the sponsorship agreement that we had.
The reason the pricing is higher than most is simply because most manufacturers require a large quantity order. I managed a smaller production run but unfortunately at a higher cost. The price has already dropped and on top of that, we're having another sale this week.
The I35 rear pics are admittedly slow but I am getting them soon. Working full time and running Paradox doesn't allow me much time to get home while its daylight to take pics. Smaller stuff I can do indoors but that piece is too big. I am trying to do so this week, with the oncoming downtime around Thanksgiving.
Edit: I'd like to point out that the pics in the sticky about the A32 kit were of Phil's car upon exiting my bodyshop. Looks fine to me.

yea look at the rear pieces they are 2 totally different sizes...the kit needed to be sanded and re glassed for it to fit against the body from my body shop. your guys double sided taped it on and my side skirt and rear piece fell off a month later. i talked yo tou online many a time about the kit not fitting correctly and u just kept rushing me to put it on. i guess ill just have to take pics of all the stress cracks in the kit as well. also would u like my bodyshop guy to ring in too? the kit fits like junk and u can see through the fiberglass. the reason i didnt go through with the sponsorship was because i felt like i was getting rushed to finish this car. hell its still not done yet, but 10k later im still goin. i must have put at least 6k in it after i bought the kit, and to go back to the thing about the rears you had even said to me yourself the 2 sides were different and that all of them were like that. im not tryin to ruin ur rep on here but the kit fits like sh*t. you cant mold on a kit for daily driving that just doesnt happen. it has stress crack in it the way it is now. the thing would fall off the car if i went over train tracks. not to mention the 1/2 inch gap between the rear skirt and the bumper right where the skirt curves around. ill take pics asap and then i can show the org what this kit is really about.

I wasn't around when all this interest was drummed up, but I've been around since you're kit has been out and I've yet to see a complete kit installed. Sometimes I think businesses should take the approach of selling certain products at cost or with minimal profit just to get the product out there for everyone to see. Then if demand is there you raise the price. Having a price so high that there is no demand while not having any revealing pictures to really show the kit off to me really gives the business itself no room to complain. Anyways I don't run a biz or pretend to so this is just an opinion and not me telling you how to run yours.

For all those following the drama.. Please note that the convo between me and CreativeDesignz is concerning the 96-99 I30 kit.. It has nothing to do with the I35 kit.

i stated that i put 6k into the car after the kit was put on. im not going to paint a car before winter time as it was fall/winter last time i spoke to you. the only way to make the kit fit the way it should fit was to mold it on. i have more than one opinion on that. u can see from the pics that the rears are 2 diff shapes...right where it goes up on the bumper. the pieces needed to be cut and reglassed in order to fit correctly. on a side note of painting. i painted the kit as soon as it was up to my par of putting it on. i work full time and go to school full time so my body kit wasnt a number one priority. i got it painted in put on in a timely manner and it was. i got the pics to u asap. you didnt indicate that it needed to be molded on but u did ask me on several occasions if i wanted ur guys at initial D to put it on. i duno if u have seen some of those cars out there but some of them had sheet metal screws holding on their side skirts...like right into the fenders. not to mention i dont live right around the block from there. i did my best to get everything done, the car will be ready for this show season this stuff doesnt just happen in a summer, which is what i felt needed to be done to meet ur expectations

well after looking at your site and looking at my pictures the pics on ur site are after the kit was sanded, fitted and repainted. if u look at the ones from the sticky in the forum here the kit is unpainted and u can see the rear pieces are a different shape where it goes up right behind the rear tire.
