Thanks, anybody own this? Some pics showing the front end in it's entirety would be nice. From the pic the grill looks smoked two different shades of grey. One is dark and one light. I likey, but I'm thinking $400 is kinda steep.

My thought, too. I like the Damd smooth panel that replaces the upper grill, but three bills for a piece of ABS plastic is too much. I wonder what that part costs in Japan?

It's actually not smoked, it's chrome. Featured Ride October has it:

And that's actually a good price for that piece.

Post some pics when you get it on Tango! The featured ride has chrome and the pictures on the website show it in two different shades of plastic. Wonder which it is.

I wonder if they actually have _anything_ in stock? Seems that they just take orders and then order the part from thier Japanese sources, to be shipped only when they get enough orders to make it worthwhile. That's probably why the delivery time they state is so vague.

There has to be a better way to order parts from Japan! Huge markups and "whenever we get around to it" delivery doesn't make it.
