What ever happened to these body kits?

[jtsang25]

Anyone ever see the Boost Logic Hyperboost Widebody Kit - A90 Supra or the FT1 looking body kit from Duke Dynamics in the wild?

Just curious what became of these kits. Anyone know other kits that's been announced or previewed but never released? Under rated/rarely seen kits.

All I see now a days is artisan spirit, aimgain, and varis replicas. Then all the wide bodies from hks, rocket bunny, street hunter and liberty walk.

This says the Hyperboost Widebody kit is in production, but who knows. It looks like a great design to me.

Ya I saw that. There are a few sites selling them since beginning of 2020, but haven't seen any installed surprisingly. It's not a bad kit.

That looks great. I don’t like most body kits because of the panels having exposed rivets and I was happy that this one didn’t. I’m not sure why most shops don’t blend the kit into the body? Old school wide bodies were mostly seamless.

Cost probably. Costs alot more to mold, shape, prep and paint than to drill holes and rivet.

Maybe, but they still have to make the molds for the fiberglass and carbon fiber parts anyway, and most people paint match it their car. Stamped sheet metal or shaped over a form and welded to the body, ground down, and smoothed over wouldn’t be too much more. Certainly looks better than the truck-fender flare look. Maybe bonding fiberglass/carbon fiber to metal is the issue? I’m not a body guy so I don’t know.

My brother has 67’ Sprite with the kind of wide body I’m talking about. It’s a little rough but you get what I’m saying.

Looks like that will buff right out...

The Hyperboost kit exists. It was designed by the same person who makes the Litespeed Racing wheel. I saw pieces for a second kit ready to go in carbon fiber.

Still waiting on a new front bumper design…maybe it’s not plausible with the front radar sensors but it would be cool to see. It’s the only part of the car that could use some help imo

Wonder why it hasn't picked up traction with the community.

I feel some might not want to put the money and r&d for a complete redesign. I think only ING and kuhl have a full replacement.
