Well I just took the next step in the process. I have two questions to ask. Remember to this is not a for profit on my part event. I'm doing this for YOU and my love of the X. And I'd like to get one made for myself for a future project.

1. How much would be fair to charge.

2.Who wants.

Please email me your intrest in this if you want one so I can tell the manufacturer how much demand there is. Which in turn will help me convince them to produce them.

If this works, other parts like tops(clear?), spoilers, body panels, and a whole bunch of other odds and ends.

to see the ground package follow this link.

Folding Tops

I live in Amish country and there is lots of good small sized labor here to manufacture tops. Since this is more likely a made to order type thing and not a production run, I may be able to find the people to do it.

Any questions, feel free to email me at faza@kconline.com

Thanks<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->I hate the kit on a white car. The used car factory didn't have any other colour, so I was stuck with it. Black, Ruby Red, or Red like shown like this one.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->James, I'd be interested (depending on the cost), but have no idea what something like that should cost. I guess that I'd be interested if it was in the $700 - $800 range.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Hi James,

Of course it depends on price. If you are going to really do it some pre collecting money time for me would be very nice. What kind of material are you going to use ? How are the parts attached to the body ?

Shipping will also be an issue for me since I am living in Europe/Germany.

Regards

Matthias<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Hmm, looks pretty good except for the rear piece, IMHO. I'd be intersted in the front spoiler by itself.

I'd probably pay at the most about 400 for the front spoiler and maybe 800-900 for the entire kit, unless its made from brittle fiberglass then I wouldn't be interested. We have a hard enough time keeping grills in our cars from hitting cones at the autocross.

The guy down in Australia has said that he'd sell a top to a club up here to use for reproduction. I think we'll have to take him up on his offer, guys?

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->I'm making new ones a quality product. The originals where rather brittle. The company I have to make these builds high quality bath surrounds and tubs. They also manufacturer the huge front and back pieces to travel homes. Eack one is bigger than the X. They are made to be durable and last. Unlike the ones I have on my X1/9s. Price is going to be around 800-950. Individual parts can be purchased. I'm not sure If I can get the Carrellos that came with mine but I checked and Bosch lamps will work. The kit was sold by Bertone at a price of around $1200. Trunk spoiler was still a $150 add on. I say that is rather high, especially for the low quality. I'll see how soon I can get these into production. Right now they are full speed at both plants and can't do anything on the side till later this year. Start saving up.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
