Bring back the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler???

[hvyman]

That would be legit if kaminari would re make it.

I got money for a remake. If shine did too I would for sure. Ken is legit.

But the whole thing is. What people say they want or and who will actually buy one. Expect 1k for a replica or a re make. If its less cool. If its not be ready.

I contacted Kaminari regarding the 3 piece wing, they dont have it. The whale tail is different... I have one already, so not really interested (at least.. not without seeing it)

I have cash waiting if we get a group buy going.

 

[mikehall05]

your right. they dont currently have it. apparently there was a fire about 8 years ago where many of their molds were destroyed and the less popular ones were never re created. HOWEVER, i spoke with my buddy last night and he said hes going to talk to the local owner and see what would be necessary to get a group buy. the designs are still kept in their computers so it wont be an issue getting it molded. i even mentioned something about getting a new design as well......not sure if thatll bite, but i figured it was worth a shot. he said hes going to talk to the owner on monday so i should have some more information by then.

Kaminari whale tail.

 

[Grandavi]

I like the Shine whaletail (that I have) better. Mine doesn't actually stand out as a whale tail

There is a way that Kaminari will do it. They also lost the mold of the Kaminari 3 Piece spoiler for the Z31. I had found a used Kaminari 3 piece spoiler on ebay for my Z31 and bought it for 100 bucks. I then called Kaminari and asked them if they would remake it if I send them the spoiler I bought, they said they would. The deal I made them was they send me my spoiler back plus a body kit for my car which was 900 bucks and and I get the first successful 3 piece spoiler they made and this is what they sent me 3 months later and I had the ONLY Carbon Fiber one but sold it with the car. Here are some pics of what I got. The pics I have are of the test fit before I installed it. It did install and fit perfectly.

mikehall05,

you asked who actually wants one. I definitely would like a Kaminari 3 piece wing.

Please do what you can to make a group buy happen!

Thanks in advance.

 

[SlimLim]

Yep i'll be in for sure. $500ish for a replica, but i would rather a real kaminari one though and will pay more for one. Who is going to give one for a mould? I don't exactly see rodel jumping up and down to get his rare piece replicated.

Is there any way you could take a picture from behind? I am having a hard time picturing what this looks like from the angle provided.

 

[cooljoe_1985]

Sorry but no. This was for my 87 Nissan 300zx and I have already sold this car. I was just giving an example of that a company will do it if the spoiler is provided. Since I was able to do so, they help me in return by providing me with the only carbon fiber 3 piece for the Z31.

I would be uncomfortable giving my wing to Kaminari for replication because they are strangers to me. For all I know, I could be shipping my wing to some Joe scammer. No pun intended: cooljoe_85. LOL.

 

[Dylan JZ]

Isnt that the same as saying you'd feel uncomfortable sending your HREs to HRE because they are strangers? (provided you don't know them)(we could change the example again if that was the case).

Just an observation; I don't care about the wing either way.

Yes, it is the same.

First of all HRE wouldnt need my 545 wheels to recreate them. And secondly, yes, I would be somewhat uncomfortable. Regardless of company and product, it wouldnt be unreasonable for any person to feel uncomfortable giving up posesssion of a rare piece.

What's interestingly funny in this case is that the Kaminari, would be borrowing and replicating their own original product.

 

[Dylan JZ]

yeah, the point I was hoping you would make in response to my question is just that.. they are the original creators, so why be weary.

I can understand though, not saying I do not.

 

[te72]

You know, I would be willing to send Shine my Regulus for a deal like cooljoe_1985 got... but that's a different subject.

 

[rodel]

If there are at least 15 buyers willing to commit to buying the Regulus spoiler, Shine would give you a deal. The key word is "committed." Not "interested" =)

 

[Clint]

Lol how do we commit?

 

[lithium14]

to commit you have to put money down now. That's why it's so damn hard to get anything going in terms of replicating rare parts.

A. Getting the rare part itself to be replicated.
B. Finding enough people willing to pay on the spot for a product that still has months of manufacturing to go through and no idea on how the final product will turn out
C. The MK3 community is not like the MK4, where shops can replicate famous rare and sought after parts and KNOW they will sell like candy. MK3 owners tend to be poor like me. Which leads back to point B.

Huh, you don't say? That was very interesting... So Rodel who do we send money to? Let's get some committed people.
