InnocentGuns Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Better idea as far as manufacturing goes would be make mold. and vacuum form solid sheets of plastic around mold. would cut down on injection molding machines dies ect.. just a thought.

Imprezsing04 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Stalled, pending winning the lottery or some other miracle. Winning the lottery would be nice but like I said, I am not here to make a profit. I wouldve charged everyone what i spent and break even but at least i can say i made something i am proud of, that was it. This thread was made to see if there was interest to pursue and take on the project. Since there was, I went on and realized the extent of making these and the cost involved afterward. At least, to do it correctly. Like others stated, I didnt ask anyone for money up front. I couldve and not delivered apparently like has happened in the past. The money would def move this project along but no one has offered nor would I want that responsibility of taking someones money. I have contacted R-rev and ravspec in the past and no interest. But as an update, I have gotten with 01rs25 and he might help me so we will see what our efforts come up with. I am supposed to meet him today. I will update a little later today with what I have come up with so far. Better idea as far as manufacturing goes would be make mold. and vacuum form solid sheets of plastic around mold. would cut down on injection molding machines dies ect.. just a thought. Do you know of a place? What is the quality/durability of this? Obviously im not a materials,process, or manufacturing engineer so i dont know the answers and the best way but if someone from that background could let me know a more affordable way. let me know! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannya Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Howzit going. I am here to revive the thread and was so seeing if the project continued or stood still? I am interested with these vents and would pay whatever costs to have a perfect fit, even a prototype. I would NOT pay 45 for sad quality. I'd pay asking price of $100+ for a great quality product. Lmk of this project is still on the move and I will even pay up front. Mahalo Imprezsing04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will then modify the stl. file to fit the usdm opening. Check back in a week or two! Thanks for all the patience everyone but I def want to still finish this product through. I gotta see how much 3D scanning is gonna cost... I sent it to a guy on the forums and he didn't get around to cadding it and he also admitted it was a very challenging shape!

turboboost Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I agree with Hannya. I'd rather pay the premium for a high quality product than cheap out on a shoddy one. Am very interested in those vents. Keep us updated, Imprezsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannya Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Bump bumpage for 2015! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imprezsing04 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Bump... Well, I havent given up but I did make SOME progress, I just have some more loops to jump through. This is a pic of what I have so far, it doesnt fit yet and the actual item will utilize the USDM bolt hole instead of the JDM clips in the back because the usdm openings are too small. I have been super busy with my full time job and it doesnt look like it will get better until the summer. So, for those of you that hold on to your cars, please be patient, I am still trying!

tvsubaru Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 So these vents if I'm looking at them correctly replace the reflectors that I have in the rear of my bumper? If so I'd be in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Mr. Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Why don't you just cut them out so they actually work?

Was the BBK and making the caliper bolt hole bigger worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
