Haha Eddy Lee... What a bunch of morons. I'm glad I imported mine and they only did the compliance work on it and nothing else. The morning I went to pick it up, my car was proudly being displayed on the display ramp as if it was theirs to sell...

Perry, u should get your windscreen done already! You wouldn't want someone else jumping the queue and grabbing it.

LOL...edward lee....what a joke...

i went there to test drive the EP3 when they first got it in and they tried to play every trick in the book to get me to put down a $2000 deposit there and then...including offering me a plasma tv...let's just say i didn't fall for it...

they didn't even have a clue that there was a FL version... *dorks*

Anyone here knows how to remove the stock spoiler & if it's easy?
14-08-2009, 09:51 PM
NightRyder

why?..stock spoiler not good enough for ya?..hehe :P

I think you need to go from the inside by opening the rear hatch and checking the bolts. You might even have to take out some interior plastics to get into the inner bolts. :)

Yep, thats what I was going to say. I'd say there would be 2-4 bolts from the inside! Good luck tho!

BTW....Has anyone in Sydney got a stock B pipe for me to have/buy/borrow?

you have to get the original, bro. otherwise no good...

I'm yet to see the replica, whether they are adjustable or not, but it won't come with the badge for sure.
fitment is another issue

but many of the ppl from the us forum said seibon mg style spoiler is over the original thou, cuz they are always cf, and u can just paint the side bit into cw and leav the middle part cf, i reckon it would be good, a good sample jdm fd2r, and yes, only genuine come with that badge and u cant even find that in aftermarket.
15-08-2009, 02:59 PM
Mugen_B16B

i found one on nengun, man its like me selling my recaros just for it, so not worth it

i think theres a cw ep3 with a genuine mugen spoiler on carsale, i think he wanted 30+ for it and its only a preface
15-08-2009, 03:01 PM

lol i know that guy, the number plate used to be EP3R red color plate..very famous!yeah i pm him if he wanted to part out his mugen lip and he rejected, lol

yeah his car looks sweet, but still 33k for it is not worth it imo with only just over 140kw but very clean example
