Just like every other group buy that jasonlee has run, as will this one, im just guaging interest...
it will be as follows: a few members and I will be taking a 97+ rear bumper and having a body shop do a complete job molding a TC1 rear to it... from there the donor rear end will be sent out to an undisclosed shop (jay and i havent talked that over yet) either E.D., Carbon Creations, or someone else just like all the other custom CF work we've had done over the last 2 years... From there depending on interest, complete CF and Duraflex versions will be availible via group buy and im sure complete duraflex versions will be availible via online purchase afterwards... pricing is still unknown, for it is something that was just talked about over the last 2-3 days.. note this will be a COMPLETE bolt on rear end, you will not have to have a body shop do any molding of any sort to get this bumper to fit... this is what every1 has been waiting for.. and for you CF junkies this is your chance to complete your CF body kit.... for you ppl sick of having your body kit re molded or ppl afraid of buying body kits because of the extensive labor shops charge to do the molding, this is your chance to really luck out prices will vary pending interest... but we need to see interest b4 we go and make something happen.... any questions, problems, concerns, opinions feel free to add to the topic....

not that i plan on buying one but i'd suggest something other than the tc1 rear. first off, you'll probably be able to sell more with a new design. second, i don't think the tc1 flows well with the gsx sides that i'm assuming this is ment to go with considering you said for the full carbon set up.
plus the tc1 is just played out and old |

And likewise, the sides only really flow with the tc1 front. A new rear would be your best bet, especially something that would match nicely to the gsx sides. Plus shouldnt this thread be moved to the group buy forum? |

ic we have a lot of critics for a TC1, so since thats the case, how about some ideas...
remember though the crazier the design the more its going to cost to have a prototype made, which will ultimatly effect the cost of the bumper.... its also a lot easier to critique a design or an idea such as every1 with the monster front bumper... because noone is payin for the design work, fabrication, and finish.... so if you have ideas feel free to share them.... |

Why not do a variation on the TC2 full rear for the Sebring and modify it for use with the Avenger? As far as I know there isn't a single venge sporting this rear.
TC2 design > TC1 skirt in many ways Just my 0.2c This post has been edited by thebringer: Aug 1 2007, 11:24 AM |

The tc1 is the full replacement bumper for the Sebring. The tc2 is the add on lip for either car.

I'd be in if it flows well with the gsx skirts ...
I'd rather see something diffuserish like the carbon fiber add on for the eclipse |

so you guys are saying a full replacement TC2 for the avenger, and offer teh TC2 for the sebring in CF for the group buy...
and make sure that the body line will match the GSX side skirts... the height diff between the 2 isnt much i have both sets aka tc1 fiberglass and GSX CF... it cant be more then 1/4 to max 1/2 in. in height... so the problem with making it completly match the GSX is that the TC1 guys will complain it doesnt line up.... so were going to have to come up with some kinda give/take deal here... more opinions welcome btw some1 fill me in as to the diff in the sebring and avenger rears |

bad venge in relation to your comment....
jay and i have contemplated that idea, using CF defusers to blend the CF theme into the rear bumper, but again we would need some sort of design and way to "blend" it into a car that already has a TC1 or TC2 rear skirt or for some1 that just has a stock rear bumper.... |

I've carbon wrapped a TC1 and it just doesn't look great ...
there was a carbon diffuser on ebay that would look awesome but unfortunately it was a scammer ... |

all I care is that it is symmetrical unlike the TC 1. I hate it that people tell me that my exhaust is lower on one side because the skirt isn't cut the same.
