Familia Sedan-01

[UffDaz1]

I have talked to WWW.wholehyper.com (http://WWW.wholehyper.com) about the Japan model of the protege, called the familia. the car has many after market parts in japan from sites like autoexe. Im looking in to the grille and the lower front valance imported to the U.S.. If Wholehyper is willing and Autoexe is willing, WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN A GROUP BUY? Reply to this Post so i CAN HAVE SOME IDEA..

How much it is?
I want to wait until next summer...
but I am interested.

[donz]

depending on the price i am definately interested

I've done some pricing on the Grille and the Valance and in Japan the Grille is around $210 and the valance is around $320. Both are made of Urethane. High Quality. Of course we will have to pay for over sea shipping and a small percent to the importer, meaning Wholehyper. But in the long run the parts will last longer than any other part found here in the U.S.. I figure Both Parts will run about $750 - $800. I also beleive the parts may already be color matched. hopefull. If not ADD $200 for painting.

[OceanPark]

are you talking about US dollar?
that's expensive~

[hukster00]

http://forums.off-topic.net/images/smilies/eek2.gif dang that's allot of $$, maybe we shoud brake it up and do the Grille first :D , be eazer on our wallets :p

I'm down with that!!! Hell yeah baby!! Lets make it happen. :eek:

[UffDaz1]

what more do you guys want?? We have a the side shirts and rear valance. i've checked on body kits and they are starting at $1000, and they are fucken fiberglass, and fiberglass sucks... all we have to do to make our cars hooked up is put this valance and grille on, lower our cars and that shit is hooked up.. ;)

[MP3Ben]

Oh man I am SO down with that grille and valance! That pic sure loos sweet...count me in! It's pricey, so if we do a group buy I'd prefer if we split up ordering the grille and valance so we have time to recover from the wallet damage, but if not...I'd still be qute interested.

Pomona, Ca NHRA import races.
I talked to someone at corksport there on sunday, about parts for the mp3. he told me they were looing in to all parts avalible for the protege body style. the mp3 has generated alot of request for after market parts. he said also he would check in on the autoexe familia parts in japan.

[hukster00]

Sup everyone :D , i emald neptunespeed.net and they sad that they can get us the grill and the front lip spoiler, i'm just wating for them to contact me with the prices, and the shiping cost, they sad it be cheaper if we get it thrue them since they owrady get parts from japan, so i will keep ya informed :D :) ;)

Hi people, I've got a lead for those Familia parts as well, especially for Canadians out there! I contacted an old friend who owns a mod shop in Vancouver. He's been doing a lot of the importing business lately, flying to Japan to do the deals, etc...and assures me that he'll be able to get those parts!

He told me he'd know before the week was out about pricing, etc. I'll let y'all know as soon as I find out! This might be a good idea for us Canucks out there coz of the extra shipping we'd have to pay because otherwise we'd pay shipping from Japan to the US, and from the US to us as well.

He's a good friend...hopefully he can cut us all a fair deal as well.

More options = more competition = lower prices! :D :D :p

[DuCKieMP3]

Hey MP3Ben, what about us MP3 owners in the U.S.? can we get in on the deal too? I rather pay the shipping charges from Canada to the U.S. then from Japan. Thanks... wooohoo, my first post...hehe

[MP3Ben]

Hi Duckie, I'm sure he'll be interested in shipping to the States as well if he can get the deal with Autoexe. He deals in shipping stuff all across North America. I think he's the only distributor of Kakimoto Racing stuff as well as a bunch of other names in North America (can't remember, but probably not Protege stuff =( )

Personally I don't know which shipping route would be less expensive, but I'll ask him about that when he finds out and I'll post the prices. Then you guys can make the decision as to whether it's a better deal to order from the States or from here. I'll keep you updated! :rolleyes:

Sup, got an emal back from Neptune Speed, here it is

Hello, Tom. How are you doing?

The prices of Front Spoiler is about $366, and Front Grille is about $232, it depends on yen-dollar exchange rate at the time when you place the order.
Shpping cost is probably around $400 by Air freight, becase we have some customers who probably place the order soon.
It takes about 4 weeks to get you the kit after you order.

Please let me know.
If your friends want to get something small, Taka Kaira will put those items in space in the box.

Hiro, Neptune Speed

The more people they get the cheper the siping be between us , so let me know if eny one is intrested, we can do 1 item at a time be eazer on our wallets :D

[hukster00]

Ok, it's unpainted, and this is y it's so expensive

Grille = 232$ in japan
shiping from japan is = 400$
you pay = 632$ siped to youre hause

eather you can pay 632$ or you can pay 342$
i get the 342$ from

5 people x 232 = 1160
shiping for 5 to each house 550$
(shiping is to ca first then to you)

Total = 1710$ / 5 people = 342$

i rather pay 342 than 632$ dont you ?
