Exactly my thoughts

We've looked into that, but how many guys are actually willing to spend the money to have that bumper? The Lexus grille set alone is about the cost of our AC bumper, you'd be looking at a 1000+ front bumper once its all said and done.

I wonder though how the SC will look with it Did you do a design drawing that you can post ? Just wondering if it will even match the round edges of the SC. Most Lexus cars that have the spindle grille now have a lot of pointed edges

and that bumper will be more expensive than what I paid for each of the 3 1992 SCs I have , lol.

And I won't stop bugging you for the diffuser before I get my cars painted ...

Dang , if only there was the Vertex Body Kit in Poly-urethane version ........ after 11 days , 6 people interested ? We had more than 20 of the AC in less than a week.

Irving - I thought there were so many who requested you this kit. Or is it another one of the famous, "I will buy it if you had one ..." quote . Then when available , you never hear from people again. Now with the spindle grilled bumper talk , I will be surprised if you get more than 10 paid buyers of this kit . Let's get it going guys so the rear diffuser and spindle grilled bumper can be on the design table of APTech.

With a nicely designed functional rear diffuser group buy ... you might have had more takers than this kit by now Hint Hint Hint

It's looking like another "i would buy it if you made it" situations lol. We'll see though, we're making great progress on this and the ******* we are making for the SC's.

Is a rear diffuser being made too? Like the one pictured in the other thread or there's no plan for it yet?

Just checking.....

Irving - is this group buy a go or a bust ? Didn't you do a prototype on your car ? Any picture ?

im acutally surprised with the lack of interest. ive given him the deposit and i believe it should be done in 2 weeks or so. im looking fw to it.

Honestly I assume that the majority of people looking for poly-urethane right now went in on the AC style bumper. I imagine if this same group buy came out 5 or 6 months from now it'd do a lot better than it is currently doing. The lack of pictures may also be hurting interest.

1+ on the picturea part but we all know how vertex looks like so it shouldn't be an issue.

This is exactly what prevent manufacturers from doing anything new for a car without committed / paid orders. People say they want this or that and when it comes to the actual sale , they disappear . Seen it countless times.

On the day Irving posted this group buy I told him my reservations . In fact I told him that I doubted he will get 10 paid orders on that Vertex bumper . Well, he said he had tons of people who told him they wanted one so he started the group buy.

And here we are . Now we have six people who got back with him . But when it wasn't available , so many had it on their wish list. Where are they now ?

I gotta say Gerrb, you were right haha. We're not concerned at all though, I know once we post a final product image we'll get more sales.

I'm several hundred miles away from the office this week, but will post some progress pics once i get back. p

This one "hiccup" won't stop us from making additional products for the SC or other Lexus platforms.

APT just a suggestion to make a insert for the sunroof? To get rid of the whole sunroof assembly.
