USING 3D-MODELS FROM VIDEO GAMES ETC. TO PRODUCE KITS

plans4sale:
 In my opinion, figuring out proper glasses for a newly created kit must be done in the initial stage of the development. This also applies to any parts that may be way too difficult or even impossible to locate by the customer himself, or ones that will require heavy alteration of the body kit (like the grills, as mentioned in a previous post). I'm not taking parts in this particular dispute, instead I talk about the business as a whole. One can't expect demand if his/her product is offered only with the quick profit in mind and puts the customer into a series of undesired expenses.

BigPines:
Those are the two I know of but there may be others. Please start a thread to let us know what you selected. I'd love to see an Aventador build thread.

Rob James:
Thanks so much BigPines,........that's exactly the kind of advice I'm looking for. Yes, I have already found those two Aventadors, good to know I didn't miss any others. Sad that there is only two......but I guess it's a very new design. Anyways, the Reventon is definitely an option, including the one offered by reventonkid812. It's just getting it home is going to be a monumental task. More research is in order. Until I nail down the windshield, door glass, and taillight issues, I'll be reserving my opinion on choice. I wanted to start building before the new year began, but that's not looking like the case now.

BigPines:
It's not a problem Rob. Threads get off track sometimes and that is to be expected. You didn't start World War III. Hahahaha. I'm not actually sure why INSPIRE keeps jumping on me but it doesn't really matter.

You asked a very legitimate question. It is good you are thinking ahead BEFORE making a purchase. Very smart of you.

I assume you want to do an Aventador. If that is the case, your choices are limited:

INSPIRE has one of the only bodies which have actually been created and is available. I give him full props for that. It is a pretty rough body so it will take a lot of work to finish it off but it is an option. The glass is also a concern. If anyone has found glass which works on INSPIRE's Aventador body please speak up. I would be very interested. I've also never heard a complaint of INSPIRE ripping anyone off so that is a definite plus! There doesn't seem to be any reason to doubt his honesty.

There is also a kit at Car Kit, Inc. which you may want to check out: http://www.carkitinc.com/carkit2.php?id=19 Again, I don't know what glass it has been designed for so you would need to ask those questions.

RobsLP640 has shown some OEM Aventador parts which I was really interested in at one time but there have been so many complaints from people being ripped off by him and he has behaved so badly that I would not buy anything from him. The only way I may take a chance on him is if you pick the stuff up in person. I don't think he has a full body but I'm not really sure about that.

That is what I know about the current offerings. Others may have more information than I do on this.

You are doing the right thing. Get all the information you can. If possible, talk to others who have purchased the body in question. Find out if the seller is legit and verify the quality of the body. I personally would not purchase any body that hasn't been designed for a particular glass. If it is just a "real builders know how to improvise" kind of response, that turns me off. I think it is a sign there will be trouble in that area.

Rob James:
I truly apologize for going slightly off topic in the other thread. Windshields were mentioned and I didn't think it was too off-base to ask which one fit his Kit. For that breach of Forum protocol I'm truly sorry, and I certainly never meant to cause a Third World War! I'm only trying to pick out a Kit that doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to figure out. I just want to get building! To do that I need all the advice I can get BEFORE purchasing, because after that I'm committed to what I have! So I NEED to ask these questions. But I do apologize for asking in the wrong location.

Rob,  ::beers

P.S. if someone could give me the dimensions of the OEM glass, (it's curvature etc.) I can do some research. Bet I could come up with something really close, like some of the more sportier designs Eagle Vision and Intrepid, maybe even Sebring.
