The way you typed it read "form is greater than function."

Simota, the first things I removed where the hood scoop and side scoops.... I think it looks okay with the side GT-R looking side and side skirt add on.

I think he meant that these particular items are more geared towards function<form

Agreed, after speaking with the owner of xenon I understand why they did what they did. I may not like it but hopefully this can help explain it.

Think Two Pools of Companies in Manufacturing:

Pool 1 (Lip kits, Body Kits, Spoilers), Most Customers and Alot of Competition, Maybe 5% to 15% chance of customer purchase
Examples:
Amuse
EVO-R
Stillen
Top Secret
and Many Many more

Pool 2 (Add on Pieces), Niche Customers and ZERO Competition 50% chance of customer purchase
Xenon

From a business aspect, I do have to agree with him. Cheap, easy to make, no competition, and people may or may not like it. Its a educated Gamble.

Reminds me of the old mustangs for some reason. They had vents and stuff for show but had no purpose for them lol.

I think what you both mean is: No function or form!

Yeah but what are the chances of someone buying a fake vent that contributes nothing to performance and looks like it doesn't even belong there?

50% of zero is still zero.

This i have to agree...

We would think that no one would be interested and this is where i was wrong, just from driving around town near San Diego Area, The older crowd with the 370z's really liked the styling aspect and don't know about forums, and about other manufactures that make body kits etc. Several people are interested but so far... so we will see how it goes.

So version One was not a hit on the forum, but if they release another one, they will take input from this thread or where-ever and revise and improve... so for them its defiantly a BIG learning curve because they do mostly domestic body kits.

Keep the changes and ideas coming...
