Aftermarket MS Kit
I was thinking of ordering a non geniune MS Style Kit from www.teamjetspeed.com.au who are based in QLD & NSW. They quoted $1230.00 + postage for the full kit from the QLD store, excluding the rear spoiler like Taka's. It's made from fiberglass & primed but not painted.
Has anybody used these guys before?
Not having added any mod to any previous car, what dangers i need to watch out for?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Rick

They are all copy kits. So their reputation of the co. and whether they provide you with a car that they have fitted before (with pic provided). That will be good.
The critical thing of such a kit is --- <FITMENT>
Try to talk to EZZY in Sydney. Eric (EZZY) has fitted one to our forum member 8a8y 8.

Ask Eric and 8a8y 8, especially Eric, since he is the expert in this area. Too bad that he is in Sydney :o Otherwise, I would have done what Philip (8a8y 8) has done.
BTW you coming Oct?

check with them or xspeed (perth) to compare prices.
ask if you can return the kit if the fitment is "crap" (at their cost)

That is very crude.... we do not wish that happens to Rick.
I think where he lives in a very low risk suburb in Melbourne. I wish I am rich enough to live there too

You have me all wrong. I wouldn't wish it on anyone either. I just think parking an 8 on the street is just asking for trouble...no matter how 'nice' your suburb is.
If you can afford an 8 you can afford a garage. If you don't have one, rent one nearby.

Well revolver,
I used to live in the city apartments and my car is in a large car park that people can really climb in! It is not safe either. The only safe thing is when the ground floor has a M3, GT3, DB7 and a Ferrari . No one will touch my 8 then :D

If some wanka car theif did steal it - i'd just get another one, that's why i've got insurance,
:D :D
:D :D
I remember seeing an RX8 in a hospital car park earlier this year that had obviously been parked in the sun and weather all it's (short) life - it looked terrible - all faded and crappy. I just reckon garaging your car makes everything so much easier.

As for getting in - love to see how they get past my garage door without a lot of noise and racket - it's been 'modded'! :D :D

As to the weather - i'm quite surprised that the paint would dull that quickly unless it was near the sea. I get it cleaned weekly & polished monthly so i should be sweet & I'm only going to keep it 3 to 4 yrs tops b4 i get another one (hopefully white) or the new rx7 that's rumoured to be coming out

And don't hold your breath for the RX7 - my mail from my service manager is that Australia may not get it at all. Hope he's wrong about that.
