Vallant Performance

About 

As young adults, we, Peter Kim and Andrew Kim, joined and collaborated on this journey as college students, Finance, Georgia State University, and Product Design, College for Creative Studies. Through our passion in automobiles, we wanted to introduce a new and unique style of aftermarket kits. Current aftermarket companies mainly focus on high class vehicles, Nissan GTR, Audi R8, etc., and on race car projects, Mazda RX7, Subaru BRZ, Toyota Supra, etc. However, we focus on the mid-high tier vehicles, which include Lexus IS250, BMW M5, Audi RS7, Tesla Model S for our lip kits; we also offer widebody kits for different car models within the mid-high tier vehicles that include Lexus, BMW, Audi, Tesla and more. 

Market

For the population of young adults to mid-age adults, the U.S. automotive aftermarket size is constantly increasing in value; in 2020, it had reached a total of 182 billion U.S. dollars. The value is projected to increase by 20 billion U.S. dollars by 2022. Events such as SEMA are coordinated to showcase the new and improved market for automobile and aftermarket designs. Each year, SEMA has broken new records of attendance and venue size. This event currently holds more than 2,300 exhibitors, occupying more than 11,000 booths.

Vallant’s Body Kits 

Our purpose is to reform and refine the current lifestyle of body kits. While enhancing the aesthetics of a vehicle for a performance and elegant kit design, our lip kit products allow for practical usage and our widebody kit products provide better track stability for the vehicle. 

Benefits of FRP(Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) Material

                     Will not permanently

                     warp under working load.

    Corrosion Resistance

                    Unaffected by moisture or immersion in water. 

    Strength

                    Flexural strength and pound-for-pound is often stronger 

                    than steel and aluminum in the lengthwise direction.

    Weight

                     Weighs 75% less than steel and 30% less than aluminum.

Request for funding

Through funding, we plan to scale our startup with a team, start manufacturing operations, and increase inventory. Per vehicle, we spend quality hours to ensure the top quality and fit of the kit to the body of the vehicle. For quality assurance, we plan to assess the body kits after the initial prototype. From the original model itself, it will be sanded and polished before being sent to the manufacturers for molding. Once the design is produced, we will be accessing all angles and surfaces of the product for defects before being sent to the customers. Our goal is to increase inventory for quick turnover rates. With higher inventory count, we will be able to execute a first-in first-out system, ensuring that the products will be able to be delivered in a timely fashion. 

We are asking for your support to help us and this startup business come to life, so others and perhaps you will be able to enhance your ride experience through our products.
