new front and rear Facia

[BigMerc]

Will Someone at Trilogy be able to tell us about the front and rear bumpers that were featured at Sema? where, when, price? put me down for both as soon as they are available.

[vegasmarauder]

It's in the works, I think price will end up after they figure cost per unti to make and how many they will need to make. Jerry Barnes is very aware of the interest in putting them on our cars...

[Jerry Barnes]

Hey Folks,

We did the body kit only for the SEMA show Marauder, but we have had so many people request them that we will research building them for sale. I should have them completed in January. I do not have any idea how much they will be, but as soon as I can get manufacturing costs, I will let everyone know the price of the kit. It will include a new front and rear fascia and lower rocker panel covers. The lights are PIAA, the lower front spoiler is removable in case it gets damaged.

I was only going to build the one kit and use it as my daily driver, but it looks so great, I am afraid to drive it around town. Everyone at Ford loved the car with the body kit and the wider wheels and tires.

We are in the in the process of creating a online catalog of all of the products we will be offering, so please stay tuned. I will keep everyone posted on the progress of the body kit.

Thanks for the interest!

me me me me me... Gimme gimme gimme gimme. :D

[Brother Mike]

Sorry Logan! I live 6 minutes from Jerry's shop and work only 4 minutes away. Hey SOMEONE has to. So guess who will be 1st in line? ME! ME! ME!

[bigslim]

Brother Mike, you will have to fight me and Dave for the first ones. By the way Mike are you aware of the Motor City Maraurders. Give us a look up. We will be trying over the winter to come together. Jerry is also with us. Give me a call. I will private message you.

[Bigdogjim]

Will be a good seller......

[merc406]

Give's it that Can-Am look, excellent.

[Logan]

Yeah, but I control the buttons. Wanna make a bet who's first in line? :D

I called Jerry while I was in Texas. This mod is right up my alley in the unique category.

Awesome!!!! :up:

just a few questions:


will it come painted?

will it have a front license plate bracket?

any drilling involved?

how 'bout a hood? :D

Thanks!

Tom

[merc406]

A carbon fiber one? ^^

[Jerry Barnes]

Hey Folks,

Let me take a minute to address some of your questions :

I do not know if it will come painted, it depends on how well we can pack it to prevent damage.

The current prototype design does not have a provision for a front license bracket, but that is not a difficult issue to address.

Our approach is to use all of the current attachment points provided by the factory. The front has already accomplished that task. The rear is being worked on as we speak.

Our vision is that it should come ready to bolt on.

No plans for a hood, sorry.

The body kit is fantastic, but we only did it for our show car. I guess everyone liked it as much as we did!

There were some other mods that contribute to the LOOK. 2 1/2" lower rocker panel covers. Wider wheels, 1 1/2" rears, 1" fronts. Nitto Extreme Performance tires, 295 rears and 255 fronts. Lower front springs and lowered rear height adjustment.


I am not driving the car because it looks so good and we want to put it in other shows, but man do I want to use it as my daily driver!

So, be patient, we are working on it!

[DetGeno]

Jerry you "Big Tease"! Thx for the info! How does that go in "Finding Nemo"? Oh yeah "My my, my my, my my, my my............................ ........................."

I can't believe I had to sit and think about this. But after Gage watching 'Lion King' , 'Ice Age', and 'Finding Nemo' over and over and over....for the last 11 days...I think I remember that scene. Little girl with the braces?

Anyway, to the point.
THANK-YOU JERRY!! :up:
Thanks for creating, thanks for listening, and thank you for providing.:coolman:

[Petrograde]

no Barry,... the sea gulls!! .....

mine,mine,mine,mine!

and..... thank you Jerry!

more info.... we crave..... must have body kit......

[MI2QWK4U]

Hey, just ask my Uncle Jerry who gets body kit #2? I think it will match real nice to my Trilogy #2 supercharger! Dont worry, Im sure there will be enough to go around!

[MI2QWK4U]

P.S. Uhhhhh, Dont forget who first planted the idea of making more for us. The night at dinner when Jerry felt the need to flaunt those 8X10 glossy prints of the SEMA car at the shop, then convieniently offered to let me see it in person. I think Jerry knew what he was doing! Get Dave geeked over it and see how long before I pony up for it! Hey....WTF!

[CRUZTAKER]

Proximity....it's all about the proximity:P

[MI2QWK4U]

Yep!

[Logan]

It's all about buttons dang it!! :D

[MI2QWK4U]

Ok Logan, I was prepaired to be civil about this....but you leave me no choice....you have the buttons...I have access to a highly trained SWAT team....your call!

[BigMerc]

HEY what about the guy who started this thread, I'm kinda first in line aren't I? (Logan can cut in if he wants........ he is the boss) but you other guys GET IN LINE!!! back there-------------->

[Logan]

I'm here in Texas buddy. Automatic weapons and all the bubba's I need to use em! Bring it on swat man!!! :D

[MI2QWK4U]

I think i have found a fair way of figuring out who gets the fascia kit first.... Who is the first member that actually saw photos and the actual car with the kit on it? that person should have first dibbs on the kit.

[MI2QWK4U]

Hey, that lucky person is me?!

[DetGeno]

That's okay I've got my tent, sleeping bag and my MM and I'm gonna camp out in front of Trilogy Motorsports ha!!!!!!!!

[bigslim]

That's alright guys, if everyone gets this kit I will make my own. I still have some silly-putty and testors glue. Not only will mine be original, I will be able to press the pictures of the comics on it. You will all want one then.

Looks great. What type of fog lights are incorporated in the front facia?:D :coolman:

[Billatpro]

Sign me up Jerry

[bigslim]

Jerry said the lights are PIAA's. I don't know what model number they are though. Car looks better in person. Jerry trailered it to our meet last week. With the lower stance, widen wheels and body kit it is real agressive looking. He said it should be out by next spring.

[Crown Vic]

Do these kits have new bumpers underneath the new front bumper covers? I know the rear will fit my car exactly the same, IF THIS KIT GETS PRODUCED, but what about the front? I may need to get the whole header panel off a Marauder and start from there. :D

[Marauder]

Since I now have a Marauder, won't need to modify for the Vic. :D

:banana: :banana2:

[gdmjoe]

Since I now have a Marauder, won't need to modify for the Vic. :D Congrats on the new ride formerly-known-as-Crown_Vic. :beer:

[MarauderMark]

I know this is an old thread but did anything come of this kit???

[Marauder]

I know this is an old thread but did anything come of this kit???

I was thinking the same thing.

[Jerry Barnes]

Hey Folks,

The latest is that we are taking the current molds to ANOTHER supplier who has said they will try to make the kit for us. Sooooooo, here we go again. I will keep everyone updated on our results after a pilot set is made.

Thanks,

Jerry

[CRUZTAKER]

Thanks Jerry, those of who have run out of go fast mods are still waiting for this one...Unique baby, unique!

[Marauder]

Thnaks for the update Jerry. :D

[Bradley G]

Looks like plenty of room for coool intake in front :up:

[Jerry Barnes]

Folks,

we just dropped off the molds to the body shop. Let's see how long it takes and the quality of the finished product. Stay tuned!

Thanks

[BigMerc]

Hey Jerry do you want a deposit on these? I'm in for a set I'll do a deposit if you need one.

[Jerry Barnes]

Well, it's not going to happen. We will not be able to offer the body kit. I have check for the last time, the answer is always the same and we have spent a lot of time trying to make this happen.

I am very sorry, but we will not pursue development of the body kit. It's just too costly to make it happen.

Thanks to everyone for being patient!

Maybe next time!

Jerry

[MarauderMark]

Well, it's not going to happen. . It's just too costly to make it happen.Jerry


just how much is too much??out of curiosity ???
Yea forget them questions...

[BruteForce]

:eek: :bigcry: :alone:

[Marauder]

:depress: :bigcry: :alone: :cry:

Too bad....I was really looking forward to it....even my brother asked me about it yesterday.

[chrish]

Why can this kit NOT be maid . Some one in china would probably make it for $100 . That said: thiis is not like we are asking to rais the TITANIC. these apear to be simple pieces. Couldn't the mold be the first unit? After all how was that one made???

[woaface]

I to add in here but would it be possible to ask a company that makes body kits for ricers all the time for help? Or, figure out how they do it, or use their equitment? Or is that not possible....:confused:

[woaface]

Better yet, will the car with the facia installed be at MV? That'd do it for me.

[CRUZTAKER]

Seeing as how how I paid a visit to Trilogy today and Jerry was out on bussiness....in the sema car.....if he comes, he'll drive it!;)

BTW: Took a test ride in the other one....OMG!!!

I wanted one before...now I'm getting one in '05!!!:rock:

[chrish]

Were you in Detroit to talk sense into Trilogy adout the Facia kit ??

[bigslim]

Jerry is suppose to bring both Trilogy cars to MV II. This will give you a chance to see the kit. It is a nice kit.

[MICA Racing]

Jerry - I can't promise anything, but if you decide to take another run at producing the kits, let me know - I know a few manufacturers who might be able to help out with good quality & reasonable price. Bummer to hear things haven't worked out so far - my wife was actually begging me to buy one!

[merc406]

Do 'em in glass.

[Jerry Barnes]

Hey Folks,

The cost for doing our first car for SEMA was $24,000. We had soft tools made, which we still have, but everyone that has looked at them has said the same thing, you need new tooling. New tooling for these very big one piece body panel is expensive. I have had estimates everywhere from $36,000 to $500,000. We tried China and we tried the Ricer shops that do fascias ...... and the answers are all the same. I would love to make these kits, but the cost for each kit would be conservatively $3,000 to $5,000 if I could sell a humdred minimum. Most people will not pay that kind of money. And yes, they would have to be glass, the molded rubber pieces would be even more!!!!

I will bring both cars to INDY and you can take a look, but we have spent a hugh amount of time trying to get these things made, and I have to get back to money making projects. I have payroll to meet every week and it ain't cheap!

Sorry again! Back to development of the 2004 F150 5.4L 3V and the 2005 Mustang 4.6L 3V Intercooled Supercharger Kits.

What about 2004 F150 4.6L supercharger? You already have the supercharger, you just need and intake.

[merc406]

Crites may be able to help here, they do a ton of quality glass...http://www.critesrestoration.com/galaxie.htm .... Give them a call. The Marauder is, will, be a Classic and they may be able to help. For 4 peices of the body kit I don't think people would expect to pay less than 3,000 for it.

[MICA Racing]

I agree - for a quality kit, I would expect to pay around $3,000 to $4,000 - we're not talking about the low-quality junk on a beat-up import - besides, we've got a lot more square footage to cover than they do!

[Brother Mike]

Do 'em in glass.
Do you mean fiberglass? I know an injection mold shop not far from Detroit that would be intereted in quoting the tooling

[mcb26]

The way they've been driving around here lately, how about 1/4 inch steel?

[bigbody]

Are there any other kits like this available any where else on the internet?

[Bowman9]

How about this site http://www.crownvicpimp.zoomshare.com/ hahahaha...:)

Man, that is just mean spirited, to put this pics in Jerrys' forum! :D
