Body Kit Question

I just had a simple question. I was at a shop in Detroit and they were talking about a body kit that will be available in April. It wasn't fiberglass, they said urethane. The artwork was pretty sweet. I was going to open a shop and my question is, should I offer a 300C kit? Is there a market for it? The kit is the best design I have seen, better than the kits on the market. The company selling the kit wanted the shop to forecast sales, any guesses, any help. The price was good, 2500 - 3000.

Look at posts by tommyz. Better yet, contact him. He's also in Detroit. He is a wizard with this stuff.

I looked at TommyZ's posts. None of the kits I saw in the forum looked 1/2 as good as the kit I saw today. SO, thats my question, do people want a classy kit for the 300C?

Just say "NO" to body kits (unless it's a factory SRT-8).

The people on this forum for the most part are intelligent. And most actually own a C. So why not ask us if we would ever consider any kit for our C. If most say no, then chances are you won't make a living selling them.

Totally agree with that. I think the SRT-8 rear and front bumper will look hot with the 300C lowered and 22's.

Don't listen to them, I think your kit is one of the classiest I've seen (funny how pics have not been posted of the "classier" one)
