I like the way the chrome strip is interrupted above the lover fascia opening, kinda carries the theme, good find overall!

the front look really nice but the side and rear look a bit square. i thought about mix and match the front with the VS Exec. side and rear but too much headache.
The price above exclude shipping

Yes, the kit need to be imported from Japan. i got their Phone and Fax number but i don't know how to make international call. Their price are 160,000 YEN. Does any one here know how to convert to US dollars. i did try on "currency exchange" but it came weird.

As a rough estimate I usually divide it by 100 or take 2 zeros out. 160,000/100 = $1,600, thats a rough figure. The yen is weaker than that right now, so it will be less.

So it will be $520 cheaper if we buy directly from Balsarini. No middle hand.
How much do you think the shipping cost will be?

not to offend anyone, the "street rate" for yen to US$ is ~99-97 to 1$ us..as the bank needs to make $$$ as usual

1.5yrs ago, i can get ~110-115 yen/ 1$

the cost will be close to the $1600 mark but the more important question will be how much will the shipping cost. being a bodykit it will not be cheap
