Body Kit?

[maiku]

Does anyone recognize this beat bumper/side skirts?
I really like how the front is designed to look like modern civics.

After some minkara searching i found the owner

It's a modified HALFWAY type 1 bumper.
I like how it curves up around the headlamps.

Looks similar to the Spiegel Japan kit I bought:

I was looking at the Spiegel kits as well, but shipping something that big from japan is woefully expensive.

I managed to get a Racing Hammer lip and side skirt kit for much cheaper.
I'll have to paint it myself, but saves quite a bit on shipping costs and looks pretty good with the existing beat bumpers.

Kool, can you supply a link to the parts for the rest of us Canucks? :)

[maiku]

I just go to auctions.yahoo.co.jp
I use Google Chrome and installed the google translate plugin.
It translate the whole page in real-time.

If I find something I like, I let the guy at Ask Network know.
He bids on it for me.

I've shipped a ton of stuff within the last month as the car is nearly complete
Now feverishly looking for a hardtop.

I've the racing hammer front and rear lips fitted to my beat.

[maiku]

how hard are they to install?
i'm getting the front and rear shipped out pretty soon. be here in about a week.

the side skirts are too big, so have to send over ground with my dash overhaul :awwww:

[Mylee]

They are a good fit. Although a body shop mate sprayed and fitted mine. You may need some sealant where they join the original bumpers, use a paintable flexible sealant for a perfect job. I'd advise that they are fitted unpainted and then the whole bumper and lip are painted as one.

I had the same problem with the sides - to long to ship :awwww:

[maiku]

they managed to find a shipping company that would do it by sea
it'll take around a month, but is much cheaper and good for oversized packages

Here's my Speigel Kit which I installed this week although on the pics, the sideskirts aren't fixed to the car yet.
Sorry for the cellphone crappy pictures.

Hi David,

I've seen them pop up on Japhoo (http://auctions.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?tab_ex=commerce&ei=euc-jp&fr=auc-prop&rkf=1&p=%A5%DB%A5%F3%A5%C0+%A5%D3%A1%BC%A5%C8&auccat=26322) every so often. I used Jesse Streeter a couple of months ago for some parts (Strut Brace etc) and highly recommend his services. Just email him with a link of what you're after and he takes care of the rest.

i really like ours - it cures a lot of interior rattles, 99% of leaking and saves a chunk of weight. taking it off doesnt take too long either, its just awkward finding somewhere to put it!
i think almost all the ones except the mugen one come from the same place:
http://imazu-s.web.infoseek.co.jp/beathardtoppsi.html - this is definitely exactly the same as my feels branded one.

Just won a US Racing hard top on japhoo!

Now to figure out what colour to paint it.
