Type I wing shipped to 35405

Does it use factory mounting holes?
Does it come with brake light, like in pic?
Thanks:D

ARD MP5

No brake light that I've seen. Dave you da man. John PM me. And for all teh rest, shipping on a minimum I've found so far out of state is $200 for a front bumper only. Please factor that into your budgets. If you can get shipping for less please go for it. You can pay for shipping when it arrives. This will require a freight company. Too big for FEDEX and UPS.

Adding other parts in there will not increase the price.

PEace, Rishie

If some other people from the chicago area want to order at once and split the shipping, im in for the front half bumper and maybe the sides.

Someone should look into Airborn Express. I think they ship your stuff based on weight instead size. I shipped my fiberglass DGmotorsport lip with those protection nuggets for $14 bucks to South Carolina from Oakland.

rishie.. would it be possible to get the jdm bumper bars and such since i am doing a jdm onversion on my car? that way i would have the small bumper in the back just like they have in japan?
would that even be street legal over here?

ARD MP5

08-27-2003, 01:56 PM

I could get you the jdm bumper. Which style do you want from MB anyway in the rear, one or two. There will be a US spec. Remember your exhaust fitment will change also. It will be shorter.

Jimmy you da man. I'm gonna look into that shit.

Rishie, when I ship my dgmotorsport lip, I took it directly to Airborne Express at Oakland airport, and the lady over there just weighted the whole box and billed me 14 bucks. Though, I'm not sure what would the price be for thme to do pick up.

thanks

It was the first car that pulled up on a google search I did honestly.

Is it me or does it look like the Mintblue type 1 wing just piggybacks on our exsisting wing. You can see the brake light and the black undercoat of our wing in the pic.

To damn bad Im to broke to get it, I love that wing.

i assume that is typeII grill in the pics? wat is typeI?

Hey there fellas...glad you guys found my car on a google search. If you guys have questions...I have answers. Not about everything, but about the MintBlue kit. Fire away...First off, to fit and paint the kit that you see pictured cost around $2600. Everything was molded to the body save for the grill, eyelids, and sides. And that rear is a huge part of the price.
Next, the wing you see fits right on top of the stock wing, so it retains the rear brake light.

Anything Else?...Just reply here...See Ya.

mracer67 it is good to see you found us or one of us found you, however it worked. Anyways welcome, how much cutting was done to the kit to make fit your car? Has your car been featured in any shows?

tttP5

08-28-2003, 04:59 PM

mracer67 thats a nice nice nice car. I'm from SoCal area too. hope to see your car in person sometime. BTW were you trying to sell your car earlier? or was that some other person?

I have a question about the kit. I'm going to be getting the sideskirts and front bumper... about how much do you think it would be just to paint, I can ask a friend to install it... also what did it cost to mod the back bumper?

How's it going...There was a lot of cutting, both sides of the rear had to be sliced off and reshaped. Currently, the car is doing some shows...Nisei week was the most recent. But it is doing well, even though I have no interior mods that make you Ooohhh and Aahhhh. We'll see.

The cost to mod the rear bumper was around $800. If you just want to buy the front and the sides, Paint should be around $700 for a good coat...but I don't work at a shop...call your local body shop and ask...but 700 should be about right.

Yes it is true that I am selling the car...and it looks like it is sold...to a good friend of mine...so i can still show it while i start my new project...a Lexus IS...MMMMMMmmmmmmmmm I can smell the JDM.

Hey, have you looked @ FedEx Freight? Hell you put it in a box and they will move it. I work for them, so i would know. we have shipped like, 20 old school mustang hoods on one order, so there is no "too big". especially those HUGE 10k lb Hazmat totes. good times.

If we can get a lower shipping rate based on weight not size or what ever Mr. Jinx is talking about then I am in for the front half spolier.

Sea P5 and gents/ladies I'm trying to get thru these estimates while relocating our facility at the same time. I do apologize for any delays. I'm trying real hard to catch up. I was gone for a week.

Alright guys,

JLiao is the shit. Airborne express is way cheaper. About $125.00 to ship a huge box with the front bumper. I will get a few more estimates today with the wing and so forth. Shipping is obviously less if we combine items into the same box.

Thanks, Rishie

Hey, i know this post is kidna old but as for a shipping courier (spelling?) check out grey hound, yea, the bus company. We shiped a front bumper (a huge one too in a monster ass box) from florida to southern california for just over 60 bucks. i know i know, sounds too good to believe right? the only catch is that you have to go to the grey hound station to pick it up (the closest one near you).

Its an amazing deal if u ask me, you guys should look into it
