prelude97 - May 2, 2003 04:53 PM (GMT)
Yo.. I've been talking to Francis at VPC. If you guys dont know him, he makes really good fiberglass replicas of mugen kits, oem kits, etc.
Anyways, I want to get the mugen sides/rear off him later this month. Is anyone else interested in getting a body kit or just certain parts? Let me know ASAP. He wants to know what moulds he needs so he can sell them for cheaper.
His prices are really good too.. he used to sell most sideskirts/rear lips/front lips for about $120-150 and complete bumpers for $250-300. It probably wont be as cheap this time around.. but its still gonna be A LOT cheaper than any place around here.

according to VPC members he does really good work.. tell me what you want and i'll ask him. i mainly just want the mugen sides.. but he needs more orders to give a better price.

cool, well i'm still debating on exactly what i want. Got a few setups right now, i'd like. I'm thinkin either the OEM kit, Wings West RS kit, or the Mugen front bumper with a combination of some sides and rear. I have a pic of the sides and rear i'd like to go with the Mugen front. I'll e-mail it to you next time i'm on my computer if you want.

hey, can u get the guy to make an oem 5th gen. front lip for me? how much is the whole mugen replica kit off the guy? kcaero.com is offering the replica for $700-$800.

mugen replica kit.... 275 for the front bumper, 125 for the rear, and 250 for the sides but those might be a problem. he has oem lips for 150obo. the oem lips are just fiberglass though and are replicas

hey, can u get a hold of him asap? i want the mugen sides and rear asap. i think i'll buy the oem lip off honda since it's urethane. they quoted me at $260 for the oem lip.

wtf? honda still has them in stock? i thought you had to get them from the states for like $350+. I'll ask him about the sides.. I dont know if he can still get them for that price. I know he has the rear in stock.

I don't think honda sells the oem kit for the 5th gen anymore. From what I know they are a very difficult thing to find now. They are made of abs plastic...not urethane

i went to winnipeg honda (pembina) sometime in january and they said they can TRY to find me the oem lip for the 5th gen for about that price. the guy warned me it can be tough to get. i assumed it was made out of urethane since the jdm lip is made out of urethane. some guy in calgary quoted me at $600 for a PURE jdm pre-painted type s lip. a replica goes for about $200-$300.
anyway, i'll get the rear section for the mugen replica kit. i want it this weekend, haha
how can i get a hold of this guy??

grr i lost his email.. i'll pm him and let you know. if you're getting an oem lip and mugen rears.. what are you going to do for the sides?
copperpot - May 9, 2003 11:41 PM (GMT)
i just want the mugen rears right now. as for the oem lip.. if it's fibreglass.. i'm kinda iffy on that.
