Got your attention? We need to lobby rare spares to manufacture full rear quarter panels for the coupe! As we all know they do the ute now, but what about the coupe? Respond to this to gain some traction!

The best way to gain the attention is for people to go into their LOCAL Rare Spares outlet, or contact them, and have them added to the "WISH LIST" This is reviewed regularly at Head Office and gives a better indication of interest nationwide.
If the idea is considered viable then a number of processes are put into place and the ball starts rolling. Firstly a sample set has to be sent to the factory to get an indication of pricing and if it will be acceptable. Then the next step is to pay up front for the tooling, knowing your funds may be frozen for at least two years while tooling and samples are done. Samples have to be test fitted and approved before any production can even be considered. If this sounds daunting then add in that the factory consider the USA as their number one priority and Australia second. So production of approved product has to be slotted into the schedule for both tooling and production. All of this is only the tip of the iceberg as to what can happen in the supply process.
