Help for Mugen bodykits!~

for the mugen kit, i got mine from http://www.carquest.com.au/
CARQUEST in perth. Ask for Raymond. He'll sort you out. very nice guy and top bloke.
i got my kit (front, side rear + wing) incl. shipping for 1550. shipping cost me 200. wing is 150 and of course is optional.
im not sure where in brizzy a good bodyshop is to paint and do the labour, but im sure theres a place where the majority of pple recommend. just a reputable one that knows what theyre doing should be ok.
fitment wont be exact as its replica which is why u need a very good panelbeater to make it fit flush

thanks for ur reply stephen~

regarding to the price, i asked raymond before, the price he gave me is $1200.00 (front bumper, side skirt, rear lip). Freight to Brisbane is about $280.00. This would cost me with extra $200 if i just buy from Carmate~ but i am also considered of what you said before about carmate that they made a doggey kit~if $200 makes the quality better, than i will choose carquest. is ur side skirt looks smooth by looking on the side?

thanks~

Debi: Hello, didn't see you post much in the past.
In Brisbane, for paint job, penal or body work. See Nick at Exclusive Auto Centre in Newstead. (26 Chester St. Newstead, 38522539) The boys there never dissappoint me.

They are authorised smash repairer for exotic European cars eg Ferrari, Maserati etc.

I will send you a PM shortly. so make sure you check it.

thanks for telling me about the shop in briz~ i had check the OZHONDA website long time ago~but i never post a message~ because currently i am bored with the look of my car, i like to do something about it. I tried to post a picture of my car, but it keeps saying that my photo is too big, like the picture is over 100 pixel or something >.<

i never seen a mugen kit in briz before, thats why i like to put my as the first car in briz~ u said the Exclusive Auto Centre in Newstead, do u know the rough cost that they would charge me for paint and fit? if i get the kit from raymond, it would cost me $1480 including freight. My budget is about $2.2k.

thanks~

Hi Dave,

I have no idea about the cost of painting and fit of body kits cost..I know his hourly rate is not the cheapest around. In fact, can be quite expansive, but you get good quality finish. All my friends with BMW or M BENZ have their body kits painted there. Your best bet will be give Nick or his colleague a call, and ask for a quote, then decide where you want to have yours done..
So $2200-$1480 = $720.. Maybe if you are sweet talker and pay cash, he might do it for you.. but as I said, I wouldn't have a crue how much he will charge you for the job.. maybe well less than $720 ??

Hi Debi sorry for the late post,

The kit i bought it from raymond @ carquest in Perth, i live in Perth so i was able to pick it up. The kit is fibreglass.

I spent the extra money to get it fitted and painted properly from Hung @ Prestige Motor he has done a very nice job and the whole kit is smooth no lines or lumps on it. I can vouch for both Raymond at carquest and for people in Perth Hung for you painting jobs.

I Will take some quality photos hopefully today or tommorow and post them up.

you guys know any places in Sydney for doing paint job, penal or body work? a reputable one that knows what theyre doing. ;) because i m also thinking about getting a mugen kit from car quest too :D :thumbsup:

Correct me if i'm wrong. is the clearence should be measured from the lowest point of the car? which is not definitely the front bumper.

know any good reputable bodyshop in SYDNEY??? which does bodykit fitting?
