lol... You're being a bit ambiguous.
Is Chris still working on the bumpers? Last I talked to him, he was heavy with family issues,IIRC. Did you obtain the rights from him?
The High-Rise wing... I thought the guy (forgot his name) working on that, pushed it to you looong ago?
Justin, the guy who makes the radiator cover, is local and is starting to sell them, but he doesn't make them for the Birds as of yet.
And the RKS Speedster Tonneau... Do you really have something in the works that will be better looking than that?

No clue on Chris. We were going to do some stuff together before but after awhile didn't hear back (was a Firebird bumper).
If he's still making them we will NOT step on toes. If not we can do it but need 30 orders since it would be urethane and the mold in the states is RIDCULOUSLY high (but worth the quality).
High rise wing our convertible is in the body shop, still trying to work out how it could be done simply otherwise it would be a $2000 product.
Justin we hit up about selling for him but he wants to carry on on his own for awhile first. Trans Am cover is sitting in the shop, needing a FIFTH revision, that area is a major PITA.
RK Sport we're working with to see how much a redesign of their current piece would be. They say sales are almost non-existent for that piece and don't think there is a market.

Yeah, last I talked to Chris, he was dead in the water with it, due to family issues or something, it's been a while, I can't recall, but I'm sure you'll get the 30 needed, for a build. The original thread blew up, but with all the time that has passed, it's either been forgot about or people has moved on, because it turned into a dead project. I'd bet the flame is still smoldering for it and wont take much to build that fire again. In the end, I would prefer a U.S. product, but I'd make due with a (place 3rd world country here) piece, just to have one. It's sad really... I have Chris's Evolution bumper and that thing is top notch! But I'm no longer doing turbo so it sits, still brand new with it's gel coating.
I can't believe the hi-rise winge is proving to be such and PITA! That's another HOT seller f it can be done "economically."
Yeah, Justin is local to me, but is only working on the Camaros. I am definitely in for a T/A cover!
I can understand that the Tonneau covers has a very limited consumer base; I just want to see something more aggressive and radical in design... if not, for my own sick and perverse pleasures, lol

Yeah, US is more expensive and can do fiberglass but for just a little more ($700 for you guys instead of $600) we can do injection molded urethane, just like factory with OEM fit and finish). Think you could get 30 orders at $700 + shipping? Free bumper in it for you if you do

The direction that Chris was going seems to be a winner.
A slight few changes I think would look good though... blend the bottom of the light lids into the bumper. This guy points it out real well...

And something I think would look trick is if instead of having the Phoenix embossed on the front, cut it out. It would aid in more air flow, but you could then place a light behind it to shine through and illuminate the bird. But I'm sure some would not dig that.

I could push the thread using Chris's pic since that's the one everyone likes and know, but I don't know how he'd feel about that or how close it is to what you've got going on. Or i can just reignite the thread that got all this going and just tell everyone that you are running with the idea now.
Not sure how to proceed.

Dick harrell style spoiler , that can use the factory existing holes for apperance package Camaro. Probably not possible, but one can dream.
Want to change the spoiler so bad , but dont have the money to fill in holes and repaint.
Or hell, just spoiler options period for guys like us lol

I found this while looking over some sales ads on one of my facebook LSX groups. This is what it would presumably look like with the Phoenix cut out and a light behind it.
