Hey guys i just bought a civic sports 09 model, do you think it's a waste of money to chuck a mugen RR body kit on it? and waste the 3 year waranty. Whats your thought! need some advice. Anyone purchase from www.jspec.com.sg and whats there experience from that company.
Thanks
cheapest i have found from s'pore is 1900SGD, haven't asked jspec about their RR kits.
1900 includes
Wheel arches
Front bumper (fog light holders and grille are carbon fiber)
Rear bumper (carbon fiber on the two small strip above the exhaust holes)
Side skirt
Spoiler (type R center is carbon fiber)
Remember it might be cheap but getting it here by sea you need a heck of alot of money to declare.
anything over $1000 you pay 10% GST tax
±$1000 you need to pay handling fee, port fee (make sure product is F.O.B), custom tax, clearance fee by broker, over $1000 need to pay duties which is 5% of purchase price.
GST is calculated after all the top fees are added on top of your purchase price.
eg.
SGD$1900 + (port fees of leaving unless F.O.B) ~$US200 + LCL US$48-75 m³ + (i'm in perth so i pay for fremantle port fee) AU$200-300 + (broker fee) AU$70-160 + delivery to you door AU$90 = probably half the price of your kit or more lol
also they will charge you a certain price to ship over as well but doesn't includes all the fees and charges when it reaches Australia.
Some things are cheaper to send by air even if its more expensive because you don't have to pay for any taxes and it is delivered to you door. (if it is declared less than AU$1000)
Total S$3700.00
parts consists of
RR front bumper
RR front air ductings a pair
RR front foglight holder a pair
RR front foglight a pair
RR front carbon fibre front grille with red emblems
RR bonnet
RR bonnet dry carbon fibre air vent covers
RR side skirts
RR side fender x 8 pieces
RR rear bumper
RR rear bumper 4th brake light LED
RR rear spoiler c/w lip
we provide full wooden box for export shipment price included
Ocean freight to Sydney Australia : S$550.00
Thats how much it's going to cost me, and i have to add GST on top of that? and port fees? O.O Isn't that abit over priced! lol i've never shipped more than anything $1,000+ before, and though the 550$ would of covered all fee and cost of shipping & gst etc etc.
haha YES GST + other fees
OMG WOODEN BOX
wooden box = the worse packaging
quarantine will be out check the timber for bugs or any contamination during the shipment from s'pore to you. wooden box means you will be paying like $900 or something stupid to get through quarantine. Basically like the airport.
Packaging for all sea transport should only be in bubble wrap/foam and cardboard. NOTHING ELSE
$550 is the freight from s'pore to sydney and when it reaches to Australia BAM!
customs comes and rapes you :p
would be cheaper to fly there and buy it then carry it back (Y)
lol, by raping. how much am i looking at?? O.o roughly?
I dont think putting a kit on the car voids the warranty?
haha HUGE rape better lube up :pQuote:

You MUST NOT get it in a wooden box if shipping by sea.
I asked jspec, i got a quote for $3800 (how come they charge you $3700? lol)
ship by sea was $400 and by air was $850
i would rather get it ship by air because it arrives to my door step
I would ask them to ship part by part so i can declare it under $1000 instead of the whole thing at the same time.
lol at first they charged me 3,800 i did some bargaining. Really, wouldn't that just cost me more, getting it air one at a time.
Shipping by air, would i still be liable to pay tax's and fee. Because everytime i bought items from oversea's i've never ecountered any tax of any sort. My items were properly 800USD+, and that was by airmail.
oh i see haha. cools, what did you say to get the prices down? they said they've already shipped 2 RR kits to Sydney.
nup it wouldn't cost more unless they package it differently and added more weight. shipping by air is charge by weight. shipping by sea or local freight is done by cubic metres so however big the boxes are.
No by air you don't get charge and taxes so that's why sometimes it is cheaper unless you buy a container for shipping by sea. But i think my installer said they might charge you GST if the products are of high value. My installer told me all these charges because he imports alot of stuff internationally. deals with china and stuff. he says if things are over 8cubic meter he generally just buys a container for like AU$200-500 lol. which is really cheap not sure why.
Found another place AEIMPEX, $1900 for the kit with no bonnet and different spoiler (Type R). but with carbon fiber grill, foglight cover, spoiler, front splitter, back bumper lip above the exhaust. but i wanted everything carbon charge is $1000 extra with mesh, LED 4th brake light.
not sure which one is better because i want the RR spoiler and carbon hood.
sigh can't win with everything I want in the kit...
lol i saw someone on ebay selling it, exact same for 5,000AUD and 4,500 for pickup
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....:X:RTQ:AU:1123
dodgy, hrmm i might consider using airmail if i avoid all the extra taxs/fee.
GO THE RR KIT!!!!
so, liquid23, yer suggestion for us is to get it ship by air? like way way cheaper?
i DID think abt asking them to ship them here by pieces. but wouldnt that increase the costs of shippin as well? and would that end up cheaper than shippin everything at once with all those extra fees?
btw...jspec modded the car exactly how i wanna my car look like, so i feel like sharing it to you guys
http://www.jspec.com.sg/product_img/...RRenlarged.jpg
cant believe they painted the rear mirrors black too...just like what i am going to do!! OMFG
yes shipping by air is the way to go. no taxes or custom to bug you.
well technically it should be the same price. like i said before shipping by air is done by weight. the weight of the product ain't gonna change so i don't see why it would be less expensive if ship individually. lets say like front and back bumper 1st and then spoiler and side skirts + other bits and pieces. then hood or something else you ordered.
the airport does know the value of goods coming in even if you declare it at a low value sometimes you need to prove that it is actually that cheap and that you bought it for that price. they can check your bank transfers as well.
i'm not sure which company i'm going with but aeimpex is doing everything i want as a special order. i want carbon fiber on back bumper, spoiler, whole grill. carbon rr hood (deciding on wet/dry).
are you going to get the RR kit Fung and SUS2k?
it is pretty expensive for a bodykit, i have a large sound system going in that i need to buy as well haha. I'm just deciding on bodykit or sound system at the moment...

now...all i need is a part time job and work my ass off for rims, and then the RR kit and then exhaust =[
the kit from JSPEC is PFRP, the kit from AEIMPEX is duraflex fiberglass. I don't actually know the difference.
All I know is that I don't like fiberglass kits because when you hit something it just snaps off unlike plastic it just bends and goes back to its original shape. I've never had the experience with fiberglass kits but that is what i hear on the forums.
Here is a forum on pro's and con's
http://www.g35driver.com/forums/body...e-bodykit.html
There are lots of pros and cons for both products but some people say that handlaid fiberglass is better and PFRP is better. But Urethane kits will always be the best. Fiberglass can always be fixed is damage but if the plastic is over damage it can never be fixed. If you want to mod you bodykits you can only get fiberglass because you can't mod plastic (i guess plastic welding but your going to pay ALOT for it).
Overall i found that AEIMPEX is cheaper, more carbon fiber to my specifications and the mugen RR kit itself only costs $1900 (w/o bonnet)
1900? thats pretty cheap but there website looks so dodgy lol
Man get the KIT FOR SURE! screw the sound system lol. JSPEC.SG wants 4800SGD for the entire kit for airmail and they'll cover all the cost. Thats pretty pricey.
i checked out AEIMPEX as well....they looked okay. similar to after12 (Malaysia)
but after12 never gave me a good reply on how much shipping costs?
just waiting for a qoute from AEIMPEX, i asked for the entire kit and with the bonnet. Does anyone know the qoute for installing the bodykit? and know any good ones they recommend in sydney area. illawarra area / hurstville.
cheeeeeerrrrrrsssssssss big earrrrs
how much have you saved up bro?
While we're on the topic of bodykits, what do you guys think of this kit this guy is selling on eBay? Should I get it?
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....id=p2759.l1259
Fung, i'm working full time, and been doing it for a year. Too lazy and no motivation to study at all. How about you? lol i'm guessing your working part time and studying?
ganj3 that kit looks nice. But with 3 feedback from the seller? quite risky, and ebay doesn't do shit when you get scam... and this is from experience. All they do is blacklist the seller.
isn't there a store on ebay that sells the mugen lip kit? think this is itQuote:

Front bumper (with mesh) and carbon fiber on the top half where the grille lip starts
Front carbon fiber splitter (the small side things, not sure what it is called)
Front fog light holder (carbon fiber) and foglights (wiring and everything)
RR carbon fiber grille (with mesh)
RR rear bumper (made exactly like the RR) with LED 4th brake light (the bottom will be all carbon fiber)
RR sides skirts
8 pieces of wheel arch fenders
RR spoiler (which is the Type R, centre piece carbon fiber) or can you get the actual RR spoiler with centre piece carbon fiber.
He is sourcing the RR spoiler for me because i don't want the type R spoiler in their kit. Because i have a type R spoiler on my car already lol.
Hood prices (AEIMPEX)
1. All fiber $600 ($800 if vents are carbon)
2. Outside carbon, inside fiber $1200 - $1500
3. Inside Carbon, Outside Carbon $2200
4. Dry Carbon inside and out. $3000
wtfudge the hood itself cost 3000?? talk about robbery. . . well i guess it turns out to be the same price as jspec.sg, i'm trying to get the whole deal for 4400sgd lol with airmail included.
it is dry carbon fiber, inside and out. same as jspec 1500 outside dry carbon but if you want dry carbon inside then double the price. dry carbon is the most expensive out there. high strength + light weight, no wet look just matte finish
aeimpex is cheaper because their product comes with more carbon fiber than jspec. even if you include the hood aeimpex is 1900+800 = 2700. you just need to pay extra for the LED light, H badge, wire mesh behind the front grill which isn't that much. so lets say that is about 300 more so...
1900 + 800 + 300 = 3k + 855 shipping = $3855 (4255 with CF hood)
jspec
3700 + 800 = 4.5k (+1200 with CF hood = 5.7k)
with no carbon fiber fog light holders and rear bumper isn't carbon fiber.
if you want carbon hood for jspec it is $1200 same with aeimpex
my special order is different from both RR kits
Yeah some old threads said that the side skirts of the Auto Platonium kits dont properly fit so don't really want to buy from themQuote:

optional hood prices are on page 1.
...awaiting reply from them
I just found out the shipping cost to sydney.
The charges are for delivery, however they do not include removal of any debris and the costs may change if the premises are difficult access or there are stairs etc.
LCL Cargo Port Charges

yeah i would rather go by air. Well i got the deal. FULL COMPLETE SET/W BONNET/ AIRMAIL FROM JSPEC.SG is SGD4,800. I'm considering it.
some rich basturds......
efffing hell XD
i know ey, all isee is prices at like 3k-5k and i just wanna cry =[ lol
is the bonnet carbon? hmm seems expensive compare to AEIMPEX if bonnet isn't carbon. AEIMPEX is only $3555. But they do say, "you get what you pay for"Quote:

Hope you can consider our offer, understand you have checked Aeimpex and 12 hrs, both kits from Malaysia and they fabricate from sketch , because there is not RR in Malaysia, I know how much they offer, I don't think that they able to provide courier service to your doorstep. ( quality wise and workmanship can see from their photo they provided)."
man a 5k bodykit for my car which is only worth 26k when it was new.. prob like 18k now =\
cant justify it even if i had the money ><

i think i am gonna go either JSPEC or amiepex...
if both you and liquid are getting from each of the dealers...plz tell me how satisfy you are with the kit~
1 more thing guys...if my assumption is correct...this could be how the JSPEC product looks on the RR
look at the grille, where they put the mugen badge and has the RR badge on grille too...
jst my 2 cent~

http://www.jspec.com.sg/product_img/...0309%20017.jpg
i'm not sure, i don't want the badges to be honest just a clean grille with red H.
but i'll take them if it comes with the kit and put it somewhere else.
well i'm still waiting for a reply from aeimpex. jspec just replied me, i think they know a few people been asking for quotes and discussing with each other haha.
So SUS2k have you confirmed that your getting one? did they say how long for delivery time? might wait and see if it is good hehe :p
maybe i should ask them about the 2 other people in sydney for contact numbers so i can call them, if the people wouldn't mind sharing the fitment and everything.
SO the JSPEC kit comes painted to your car colour already? i didn't know that.
Yeah i'll be getting one. Here is how long they'll take. No that long in my opinion.
Yeah, the one i picked is a complete package where they paint the kit for me. I wanted the whole kit in nighthawk black same as my car colour. Isn't the original mugen and RR badget suppost to be on the grill O.o. I'm not too sure.Quote:
2 days for packaging and preparation, 4 working days for the flight, total will take about 6 days to your destination (weekend is not included). Tracking number will be provided once the flight confirm.
oh oks that is pretty fast. Yeah its not a bad price if it is painted. Hope the paint is the correct colour (or very close to) or else would b a waste of money!
Also if during shipment the kit is damage in anyway, paint will crack or get scratch = respray. Since it is a PFRP any damage is a bad one, even though it is suppose to be more flexible than FRP. I'm sure they will package it very well, remember NO WOODEN CARTONS quarantine will check it.
When are you getting the kit? i want to know quality hehe
i'm not sure if this is the exact same guy but he says he is the builder of the RR kit. He is from carbon revo = aeimpex
http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=163763
the original is the grille is cut around the badge, the RR badge is right underneath it not to the side as much.

Only ONE Mugen RR went to Singapore. the asking price was SGD$190 000 :eek:
Do you think jspec got the mold off that car?

the new RR back bumper looks good too!
http://image.hondatuningmagazine.com...taillights.jpg
yeah, but it's a risk lol. if it get's sratched there's nothing i can do.
I got some pictures from them. I hope it all fits and no problems at all. hey liq do you know how much installation for the entire body kit cost?
im sure u can install by urself, since its a bumper replacement, and the fenders too i believe. the side skirts u might get someone to do though. shouldn't cost much though.. like 100 tops for side skirts only
i have done some researching. AEIMPEX is a dealer in SG Honda forums. so they can't be that bad of a company even on their dodgy website. their carbon fiber hoods are form japan with bone structure. all CF stuff have UV protection. The vented bonnet should come with a undertray for rain and stuff unless it is cosmetic so its just for show purpose not the real thing.
I am going to pm the people who have bought from AEIMPEX and ask them what the quality is like because they can visit his shop, i can't haha. going to ask this guy with a full kit and mugen hood that he bought from AEIMPEX. his Mugen CF hood was only SGD$600
Installation shouldn't be that expensive unless...it doesn't fit. unlike plastic FRP can't flex into place.
if everythign is easy fit then should be able to DIY. If not then professional should be a few hundred.
The RR rear bumper only has 1 exhaust hole?
probably to fit the civics with one exhaust hole lol
great stuff sus2k :thumbsup:.. cant wait to see a black civic mugenRRQuote:

also, not really sure about this.. but for the front bumper, you may need to mod your front reinforcement bar as i had to do it for my typeR front bumper. this was becoz the typeR front bumper was much slimmer than OEM... and also with the rear bumper, the OEM exhaust may not sit nicely in the hole gap.. so just be aware of it
so all in all, how much did it cost you to get it over here?? (in AUS$$)
i wanna know that too, from sus2k and liquid...what are the final costs for what you ordered and the shipping~
I'll let you guys know once's everything has been settle and arrived. They have set cost, but i'm trying to bargin abit to save as much as i can lol.
liq, it seems AEIMPEX never replys. i've sent them countless of emails and still no response. and the new RR back bumper looks really nice... i wonder if i can get that instead. I don't mind 1 exhaust, i need to buy a exhaust aswell since my one is stock. Does anyone know any good exhaust that will fit the civic? and cheap aswell.
xforce MP02, its a single oval tip with i think 3.5" or 4" tip - johnnyfd here has it, ive got the xforce MP01 which is the dual tip but same barrel and its a great muffler =]. costed me 280 incl. installation just a few months ago.
if you want the new back bumper definately need to get exhaust at the same time haha.Quote:

well, i decided to go with jspec lol, they respond to me quite frequently well daily.
black8gen, if you don't mind me asking, where did you install it and bought it from?
yeah i know jspec replies fast but they DON'T answer my questions. they just keep on saying gibberish.
how did you get them to discount? it doesnt seem like they will discount for me.
Searching sghonda forum found this about jspec.

if you look half way down Devils71 says 2.5k quote for RR kit... why 3800 now?
oh man... serious.. now that makes me wonder..... if i should still get it or not.. @_@ 2,500SGD!! but don't all asian country try to ripp of foreigners. 2,500 doesn't include the spoiler and bonnet i think. Go try and bargain with them liq, see what qoute they gave you.
Nice to see this actually going on but a few things to consider also.
I wouldn't recommend you getting DRY CARBON from overseas because when transporting if something bumps it its VERY EASY to crack and unless the supplier is going to send you a new one (which i don't think they will), then bad luck with that.
With which transportation to go, definately go the airmail and it seems you guys have covered it already.
The exhaust you can get any custom exhaust to fit your bumper. You'll need to have your kit fitted first then get someone to custom make it for you. Shouldn't be too much as i got mine for about $400 from the cat back with 2.25 piping.
The installation you guys could probably figure it out, just DIY with a friend and it'll be fun and be a good learning experience.
Yeah, i'm scared now since liq has posted some bad reviews from jspec. Fitting, i'm a total newbie i woudln't know where to begin lol. Nor do i think i have the tools to do it.
try...using a different email account. ask them...JUST quote the price for the RR kit
dont tell them abt you living overseas and needed shipping what so ever. if the price goes down to..lets say 2.5K
then you could ask them anything abt shipping!

US$3500 = AU$4346 which isn't cheap because
normal kit is SGD$3800/$3700 + SGD$850 delivery comes to total of SGD$4650/4550(AU$$3987/3887)
I have spoken to Lawrence - AEIMPEX dealer. i called him. He didn't reply my emails because he was in KL sorting out new store. Got LOTS of info form him.
JSPEC is a trader not a manufacturer. He said that the RR kit is a 100% fit BUT you need to do grinding on you car. He said behind our front bumper there is like a thin bar (collision bar or something i'm not sure) you need to grind that off for the kit to be able to fit. Some grinding at the back as well i think. I told him about JSPEC, he said he doesn't know how they can do it without grinding.
I will be buying off AEIMPEX because i want more carbon fiber on the kit so they can do it, JSPEC being a trader can't. That is why they have 3rd party's doing installs and painting for them (i.e the link on the other page i posted). I called JSPEC and they weren't very friendly and don't tell me details over the phone, it is always just by email where i actually spoke to the person who is arranging everything in AEIMPEX.
They said some place in Perth called H3 Motorsports (not sure of name) wanted to be a dealer so they can import RR parts. They were asking alot of questions about the kit. Maybe Australia will have their 1st importer
There are lots of different bonnets you can get. The vented bonnet if original will leak water through unless it is closed up. AEIMPEX has two different designs along with different types of carbon fiber. If you get the vented bonnet, when it rains, the water will go into the battery on the left side. AEIMPEX has a bonnet where you can replace the vents for racing (full vented) or (vented but there is a small hole (size of a small coin) cut so water can flow through but not alot. Or you can just buy the bonnet with no vents just small hole (no interchangeable vents).
I will be buying the RR CF bonnet and CF spoiler to have a quality check before buying the entire kit. He is just going to quote a price for me using TNT shipping. I asked him to find the cheapest possible way to ship by air.
how much is it for just the RR CF bonnet? btw i reckon if you're afraid of water leaking to the battery on left side, you can just slide a plastic sheet or something under that side can't you? obviously that defeats the purpose of a vent but unless you're really going for increased air flow rather than looks i reckon its safer to cover up the water leak =D.
if thats the case i might go with AEIMPEX too...its 1 of the 1st websites i found that i believe they have a heart to sell...
i gave up after12 ever since they are so reluctant in telling me anything abt shipping
The hood from AEIMPEX is $1200 or racing spec with interchangeable vents $1500. other prices are on previous pages for dry carbon.Quote:

I asked him if i should just not put a hole there, but he says you have to due to the design of it. I asked if there is a cover i could put on to protect water to get onto battery, he said he will provide for me. he'll send me pics tomorrow :thumbsup: he seems like a honest guy and tells me what i need.
Got sent new videos from AEIMPEX, i don't know how to put videos on haha. Basically they jump on the carbon fiber parts and burn it, but no damage or scratches. Oh wait just looked on their website. It has the video there http://www.aeimpex.com/index.php
oh wow nice ! looks like a great guy to be dealing with.
well i asked them about the vent and the fittings i guess that sounds ok! i'm going with jspec i've decide. I'll post more when the parts arrive and how everything turns out! lolQuote:
Hi David,
Jspec Autostyling is a maunfacturer and Trader, it is impossible for us to produce all model of bodykits. ( we specialist only in Honda Kits).
RR kits is OEM fitment, beside front bumper thin bracket( not collision bar) need to remove, all items good fit without any alteration or grinding.
(You can be rest asssured on these)
Instruction manual will be attached with the kit, you may install the kits step by step.
(special glue provided for the kit installation) make DIY easier and fun.
Bonnet wise , if rain water will get in the engine compartment and wet the battery, then Mugen RR Civic owner will be the first one to compliant, becasue we make exactly as the RR. ( Reason: all RR bonnet come with an under tray and overflow drainage which will direct all excess water to the front of the bonnet near the radiator, which will dry off easily.)
Hope we clear all you doubts. Thanks
i dunno man, since you guys go with different ones, i must see the outcome! b4 i go into it as well~
oh ok thats great that you ordered already :thumbsup:
i asked AEIMPEX what about the RR hood in the REAL RR. He said because there are vents there and if raining, the engine is designed that there are nothing under those vents so nothing will get wet. but i took a look at the RR engine bay and it seems the same as ours. battery is where ours is as well =/
ask him to show images of under the bonnet where the drain is for the water flow. cause i want to see hehe. cause RR has a battery where ours is as well
this is aeimpex's hood for vents and no vents

on the very left there is a tiny hole for water to flow out, as you can just see the mesh.

jspec doesn't reply with what i asked them. they keep repeating the same answers when they already told me. unless i have retarded english sentence structure then i don't think they know what i want or what i am asking.
pictures are the best way to explain things so ask them to send a picture, since they have so many RR kits there, it isn't hard for a customer to ask for a picture =D
i dun like how they say they only got a few sets left.....
so i might go with yours too liquid=]
oh ok jspec only has few kits left? no more importing?>
i'm asking this guy from sg forum on the orginal RR aluminium bonnet. i want to see pictures of the real vents and under bonnet haha. he is selling for $3980 painted in japan in championship white. so $$ for original
lol, liq your making my regret now from purchasing with jspec....
ay do you think i can mod my car and get 2 exhaust (to look like the mugen rr's muffler) Would they have to build the whole thing? and how much do you think that will cost?
haha SUS2K, don't feel bad yours might be the best kit. I just like to research everything till i get my answers. then i will buy cause i am confident that it is the same product and i will make an agreement for them to sign in B&W about the bonnet and other car parts. So if anything goes wrong or it isn't the same as what i saw then it is up to them to cover costs.
when i get my mugen rr kit i'm gettin my exhaust done as well from catback. stainless steel custom made about $1200. i want titanium mufflers through
i got pictures!!! the REAL RR HOOD. as you can see behind the vents. I think the small holes at the very front is where the water leaks out but i don't think they would run water through inside the bonnet. But if it is vented especially for RR how would the engine be of benefit because as you can't see the vents unless air goes through the small square holes on the side. hmmm....
can anyone explain?

i think air will only go thru the small holes...
unless it is not the REAL MUGEN RR bonnet...isnt Mugen RR red?
otherwise the vented hood is jst an aesthetic option in the RR
BUT THATS FULLY SICK
SAVING TO THE MAX
this is the bonnet from the RR with all the carbon fiber front and aluminium bonnet. bonnet is just painted championship white.

exactly like the picture above
i sent the bonnet picture to aeimpex and he sent it to the factory so they can have a look at it. he'll get back to me about it. i probably want him to design the same as the real rr where the water runs down to the front of the bonnet.
i asked my friend about the vents when raining, he said that the engine is so hot that if small drops of water enter the engine bay the water will already be evaporated before it touches the engine or as it hits it. he said something about that engines run to a very high temperature like 500C
liking that RR bonnet.. and its aluminium.. not a huge fan of CF bonnet
how much is the bonnet only goin for? includin shippin and all tat
i should get my full kit within 1 week and a half from now. So i'm expecting it in 2 weeks roughly.

any cheaper options i could look at bro?
yeah may aswell get the body kit lol.
btw does the body kit u guys r getting include the hood? (replica one)
haha yeah well it is orginal mugen so that's why the price is high and there is only a limited amount. also getting it from the japan honda dealers wouldn't be easy.
the aeimpex bodykit for $1900 doesn't come with bonnet. need to buy seperate. the jspec one does come with bonnet.
aeimpex bonnets start from S$850 i think to S$3k (complete dry carbon) ask i have previously posted.
you can get the RR bonnet itself from jspec for S$750 or CF RR wing for S$650.
i'm just awaiting shipping costs and if aeimpex can do the bonnet same as the picture above so the water will flow out through the front of the bonnet. then i will order from him along with other small goodies =D
expecting good news from you~!
niiice. can't wait to see it all installed.. hottest fd in aus ;)
So liquid are you also getting the RR kit or just getting the bonnet atm to see the quality?
getting the bonnet to see quality, if good i'm buying the rr kit. are you going to buy form carlights the mugen kit? or wait?
