Default Testing the waters... Junction Produce Aero kit for IS300??

Hello everyone... Junction Produce is a VIP style tuner from Japan. Of course, they make products for GS, LS, and other Japanese Luxury sedans... One thing that I and other people have suggested, was to produce an Aero Kit for the IS300 line. The IS300 never fell in the "VIP Style" category in Japan, but for the US market, they feel the IS300 may fit the "VIP Style" here... For those who do not know how Junction Produce's kits look like, here is the demo car Junction Produce is campaigning in the USA...



What do you guys think? Should Junction Produce make a kit for the IS???

Hmmmm it would look clean if i'm imagining it right.

Jon, BTW, I saw JP 1:24 scale models of your car, the Gen1 Aristo and Celsior at a local hobby shop out here.

i think it makes sense to do that. if JP thinks the is300 (not altezza, the bumpers are different) is not VIP enough, how about put it under the junction produce sports?

Junction Produce Sports is a completely different company. JP is thinking that the IS300 might just fit in the VIP style here in the US.

I think it would be nice to see to complete the line up. The downside could be sales expectation. With the current price points, the JP kits are very exclusive. Even in the GS and LS segment, the supposed higher end market, you won't get as many buyers. JP seems to like this though since it retains the exclusivity.

There are many more IS on the market and I think only a small percentage of these owners will look at something like JP. (Notice I did not say "all" so for those who like to build up their IS "right", don't get in an uproar. ) Still, a small percentage of a larger population may still generate a larger number than the other segments. Being exclusive is one thing but a company still needs to make some money to remain in business. This might be a smart move but only time will tell.

JP parts for Lexus could be analogized like Brabus accessories for MB. Very high end!

Man, it would be awesome if JP came out with stuff for the IS. I love the products they have for the GS and LS so it would be a real treat IMO if they did something for the IS.

Yeah, I definitely agree! To tell you the truth I'm tired of seeing only the cwest, lsportline and ltuned kits. I really wanted a kit like the modellista kit, so if JP can make a nice and clean kit for the IS300, then I would definitely be one of the first buyers.

The JP kit on the GS up above is nice and clean!!!

there are TONS of more kits out for the IS than you think.........WIN corp, Hippo Sleek, Gialla, Rspec, Top Gun, Elixir, Egoist, Vizage, TRD elegant, Top Secret, etc...........buying those could cost just as much if not cheaper than if JP came out with a kit.....although i would like to see what they can come up with....
