It includes all the trim pieces as well. That's the kicker.

Still, if you could get it all for 1000 bucks that would be better than anyone elses prices for the wing+trim right?

You can look up the exchange rate...

If I'm not mistaken, there was a group buy on that several years ago, I thought they went out of business. I also seem to remember that several of the pcs came in busted from shipping, customs was a hassle for the one person who imported them, then people started bitching about paying part of the duty - which he divided among everyone. I don't think it was a good experience but the ones that made it incident free were nice. Maybe someone who was in on the buy will chime in but I think it was from zweeden.

I have just imported this model (inc. the c/f adj. inset wing)from them + c/f bonnet. Firstly in general the quality wasn't as good as the photo's lead you to believe and by the time I imported them into Australia they wound up being very expensive. Not sure if you get slugged by the same import duties that we do, but I'd check first. I am going to pay someone to clean up the bonnet, and the c/f inset. Mostly it's a finish issue but the hood doesn't fit 100% perfectly either. Still, worth considering if that's what you want. I think the final product will look good. I'll post some pic's when they're installed.

Oh and it comes with the side strips so you can attach it to your rear hatch. They're fibreglass and I'd have to say they're not perfect. The packaging wasn't inspiring and there are some chips etc with the f/g. It's all fixable but I spent a small fortune on these 2 things and would have liked to see a better result on all fronts.

Leadfoot organized a group buy back in the day, lots of problems lots of shipping costs.
