Not too bad! Looks stock to those who don't know these cars but adds a little extra for those that do. I'm not sure about the front vents, but it would be cool to maybe incorporate fog lights or something of the sort in those holes. I always wondered how the ground effects would look if they were extended.

I agree not a bad looking kit at all. but that chin spoiler could use a bit of tweaking, i dont like the little vents and i tink it could probably be a couple inches lower....

Z28, well I can't read Kanji but I know the price for that 54K KM black 91 (1,250,000 yen) is about 10,500 bux. Not too bad of prices if they're in good condition. Good luck trying to get one of those cars back across the big lake to the states though 8(. I'd be interested too to find out abou their side skirts and front lower valiance's.

OOps...forgot I can translate Kanji. The 3rd gen orginal aero kit pages say's:
オリジナルエアロフルキットtranslates to Original aero full kit
(税込) translates to Including tax
フロントスポイラー\ translates to front spoiler
サイドステップ\ translates to side step (lower side gfx)
リアスポイラー\ translates to The ria jauntily Ra (damned if I know what that is )
リアバンパー\ translates to "rear bumper"
No mention of price that I can see though 8(
There telephone # is: 0296-28-8383 0296-28-8386 incase anyone wants to call 8)

Heheh....I could call and ask. It'd sound something like this:
Me wanta automobile part for rearrie fast car! Cheap cheap, few dolla(remember I have to say automobile like in 16 candles when grandpa loses his car). Okay now that I've offended anyone of Asian decent. I used to work with a crew of about 4 guys in Japan. I can email them this week to find out who still works around that office. There were 2 guys I interacted with on a daily basis.

Not to be critical, but don't you think it's bizzare that a japanese company is making a body kit for an american car that looks better than any that are made here in america? Just food for thought. I would buy one though.

Wow I thought you guys knew about this already. This was one of the kits I saw that gave me ideas about the kit I wanted to make. They also make some different looking exhaust stuff (I think it looks cool but everyone got their own preferance)

I used Babelfish. That's what Google is good for. You type Japanese to English translation and it gives you 4000+ sites that do it, babelfish being one of the top ones. I emailed my ex-coworker Norihisa to see if he can get some info (PRICING!!) for us. I should get something back by next week.

It doesn't surprise that the Japanese are the only ones to make to half-way decent body kit for 3rdgen's. Look at the carbon-fiber hoods they make for our cars. (Way better looking stuff than any US company has made thusfar, IMO).

On the flip side of them making good parts for our cars over there. I wonder how much they know of our US aftermarket vendors (Spohn,BMR,etc). Do they import Spohn Kmembers or other parts? There seems to be atleast at that site a sizeable following for racing our cars.

GOOD news guys. My guy Nori (Norihisa) came through and emailed me back. It's been d*mn near 2 years since we last spoke but he was glad to hear from me. We chatted and he's going to call the company and ask:
1. What are the prices for the parts shown on that page (aerokit page)
2. Can they export to the states and approx cost
3. Give a schtick about thirdgen.org and maybe drive some international sales from it (Japanese guys buying stuff from US for a change!!!)
I should hear back from him again this week.

I heard back from my guy in Japan:
"Adam
I talked with the guy from Glamorous.
- They do not speak any English, (OK I will be your translator).
- Price of Aero Kit is JPY 148,000- (about US$1276 by Rate $1/JPY116)
- They do not have a experience that ship out part to states, they will ask several forwarder for shipping cost.
- Payment, They do not take credit card. - Again They will consider the way how they gonna charge you.
If you have more question let me know.
Regards,
Nori"
The language barrier is no issue
The price is a bit steep!!!!
Shipping is easy if you use BAX Global or FedEx
Payment....hmmmm...that's a tricky one.

Really good looking though.
