I recently acquired an '88 Turbo Coupe and saw that there are little to no kits for the TC. So I am taking it upon myself to design and fabricate new front and rear valances, side skirts, rear wing and possibly a hood and/or hood vents. I am a professional automotive design clay modeler and have been designing and fabricating show cars and prototypes for about 8 years, so these kits will be tastefully done. I will pull molds off the clay modeled bumpers, side skirts, etc. and make fiberglass parts to send out if I can generate enough interest. I can also do a couple different designs for the parts listed above and make seperate molds for each. If you have any design suggestions or other parts you would like to see produced, let me know. You can email me at [email protected] or respond to this posting...Thanks!!!

I think there's an interest,but cost s the major factor. What kind of ballpark figure are you looking at?

I can say that the cost for the front and rear valances with side skirts would be between $750-$950, depending on how much design work goes into it. That is a rough ballpark, seeing as I haven't started the project. If I can generate enough interest then I will consider lowering the cost altogether. There could also be added costs if you need fender flares, a wing or other parts.

i think a rendering would help
i myself think the only thing these cars need is a little more airflow into the front for fmic's and a small chin. but thats just me
also someone needs to make some carbon fiber hood scoops! PLEASE!

I'm in. I'm tired of driving around with no front bumper just so my IC stays cool. It gets quite hot with the bumper attached so I leave it off at all times now.
