Custom Parts interest?, What do 6gc members want? Options

[boosted6g]

I get frequent emails requests on parts. People ask for the following:

- Carbon covers for various engine parts * no interest

- Carbon cooling plates * no interest

- C-One rear lip * no interest

- Carbon door panel

- New style hood

- carbon hatch * needs more than just a few interested members

- New side skirts

- Carbon front splitter

- Carbon door handles

- Carbon Type V wing

- Carbon door sills?

- Projector headlights

- clear bumper lens 94-95 model


If there are many people interested in one item, I can consider it being done. If anyone else have any other ideas. PM me so I can extend this list, then later on everyone can vote on one thing.

Hope this can help you guys out.

O god please no varis, projectors, or jdm items.... rare items should stay that way.... cf hatches would only be cost effective IF you get the plexiglass window in the hatch. I think you have a good thing going on boosted... keep it up man.

almost all car parts for our cars are "rare." and sorry...i think paying 2,500 dollars for a body kit is crazy (with paint) and just stupid. playr says if u want a varis kit just save up for it? If i save up nearly 3,000 dollars, u d*mn well better be sure that im not spending it on a body kit. costs of some jdm products are just assinine and even if they made custom projectors or varis replicas, i would bet that not even 20% of the people on this site would get them so they'd still be "rare." How many hooked up 6gens do u even see on the roads? NOT MANY. So for those that dont want these products duplicated cuz it'd ruin the rareness...get real.

well if you think its stupid and crazy then thats your issue...go buy a knock off invader or c-one...they are pretty common and seen...and if you don't wanna spend 3 grand on a bodykit well thats your deal..i'm spending 3 grand on just rims alone? if you want cheap stuff then your in the wrong hobby....quality parts cost money...JDM parts cost MONEY...rare pieces cost MONEY....and i can defenitly see the VARIS kit if replica'd would turn into a pretty commonly seen piece just like i see c-one knocks quiet often..and invaders..but at an EC meet a GT4 look alike well..its pretty common place...JDM tails are the standard and USDM tails are less likely to be found...things loose their value as more people get them...the VARIS kit if replica'd would lose its value to the community as a whole if we start seeing it pop up every where...we can't go knocking off everything we can get our hands on otherwise things do become too common place and not as ideal to people....so all in all we must keep a certain standard of value within this community to see that quality and displacement are kept in balance and that we don't let things become devalued and less then wat we as owners should expect...instead of spending time trying to knock wat someone has once already made..why not try and use the gifts god gave us for a valued purpose and come up with something original, new and most of all a collective piece by the community...

i agree. rare things should stay that way. i mean, how many different versions are the for the vader kit? and not that it doesn't impress me anymore, still pretty nice but its just a common kit among 6gc's. i wouldn't want the same thing to happen to something as hot and rare as the varis kit. it'd lose its appeal if you knew that 25 other celicas had the same kit.
anywho... back to the list. when i said i wanted custom projectors, i didn't mean jdm replicas. heck, they don't even have to be projectors. just clear lows and highs are good enough. anything's better than the frosted lenses. and that should keep the cost lower too.

I agree 100%!! make new kits or leave it alone. I have a knock off Veilside kit and it pains me to see them everywhere else, so much in fac that I almost hate my body kit
