Go through Shine Auto Project. They are doing replica Greddy Sides and Front lips plus they are at a good price and the fitment is world renowned!!!

Call Ken, tell him the CO Drift guys sent you.

Just bought their Spec A. Love the looks and the flexibility of the piece. Can't wait for it to show up so I can install it!

Dude the only thing I would get from them is there side skirts just cause everyone elses is made of fiberglass. THere front lips is of a aeuroware not greddy. Unlesss they just did one. But nayway I can get a greddy which is made of urethan and only cost 175$ that shine lips thats still fiber glass but alo t more flexible he quoted me 290!! I think I would go with the OE greddy for the front lip anyway

Fiberglass resin is not very flexible. Not sure how they are doing it.

Shine's Hybrid materials are ridiculous. They are some of the strongest, lightest, most durable and best fitting parts around today!!! I SERIOUSLY recommend them to any of you guys in the market for ****.

Also, Ken is up for group buys on parts as long as the people throw up the deposit, so give me some ideas of parts you would like to see and I can put together a proposal for him.

Shipping and exchange rate can kill prices.
Send me an e-mail or PM and I will try and get a quote for you.

**EDIT**
Actually already have a price here on the boards under the group buys.
$325 shipped (need to verify, exchange rates varied a lot since that quote) to the USA and this includes import duties and fee's.

Let me know.
Rogues stuff fits VERY well.

He is located in Japan

You can't have body pieces shipped to you, they are too big for usps and your apo address

you will have to find something locally.

Edit: Nothing on Yahoo Auctions Japan

AH crap you are right.

Well if he ends up interested anyways perhaps we can have it shipped to a reputable business since he will likely have it painted anyways....

Sorry you don't like it.
If you can magically make the USD worth twice as much on the world market and make international oversize shipping free then be my guest.
Research the current value of the dollar, the decline it has seen on all world markets, especially for the last couple years and quote out what an over size package costs from UK to here and then price that in GBP as well....

Rogues stuff is top quality, excellent fitment guaranteed. Very few body kits, even authentics, will make that statement.

Are you even sure that's an authentic Greddy part?
"Images and pictures above of 17010061 are often only an example of the product and actual product may vary." leads me to believe otherwise; and at the very least offer less of a fitment promise than I do with Rogue.

To each their own.

THe point is that the lip is a knock off cost alot more and you can get hte real thing for alot cheaper. And if you looked at the webpage long enough you would see the lable on the page that says " GREDDY AUTHORIZED DEAL" DUH. And everyone ive talked to who has a greddy lip says it fits like factory

Uhm.
Rogue is in the UK.
Their prices are in POUNDS.
Therefore my price reflects their price through the exchange rate which is currently above 2:1. Which also affects shipping, duties and import fees.

This guy is located in Japan.
It's going to cost international shipping, which could be dropped shipped from the UK. Which is going to be affected by exchange rates yet again, so it has a lot to do with it. Same with ordering it in the USA and shipping to Japan.

I saw the Greddy dealer sticker and I also saw the disclaimer, thanks for pointing it out again though. I can be an authentic dealer too, and sell whatever I want with that brand sticker. If it's an authentic piece then why the disclaimer?

Rogue parts are guaranteed to fit properly. In fact EVERY picture is an exact photo of what you are getting along with the guarantee on every part. No disclaimers.

I REALLY appreciate your input.
Calm down and reread the post, you are missing the point.

Personally if I am going to spend several hundred to ship something to me I would rather it be guaranteed to fit.

But some people like getting things cheaper and thats fine.
For me it's not worth spending an extra few days to a week in the shop and a couple hundred bucks in wasted effort, time and materials.

Besides it's bad taste to blow into a thread and start pointing out how I am overcharging for a 'knock-off'. I offered an HIGH quality GURANTEED part, if that makes you upset then move on.

Thank you,

I'll need to e-mail Rogue and see what it would cost to drop ship it direct.
No sense in paying to ship it here, then ship it domestically and then ship it AGAIN to Japan....

Send me an address and I will e-mail rogue and get a quote for a direct shipment.

Isn't (Trust Performance is the parent company in Japan) Greddy located in Japan?
Can you order direct?

**EDIT**
Found the Trust (Greddy) info:

TRUST Co. LTD.
3155-5 Odai, Shibayama-machi,
Sanbu-gun, Chiba, 289-1605, Japan
トータルチューンナップ TRUSTトラスト

From here:
Greddy - Founded and Driven by Racers

Let me know if I can help further.

If he's in Japan, I don't see why he'd ever go through the trouble of finding an international supplier and pay international shipping...

Why can't be buy it from Trust? Or any other authorized Trust dealer there? AND if he's in Kanagawa, why wouldn't he just call Taka Kaira since they have a location in Kanagawa from what I can see.

And FWIW - The gracer lip from TakaKaira is ~$250 USD and $160 USD from MVP and $200.95 from HPF
