post up pics.
i just got back from dropping my kit off with my friend whose taking it down to his dads shop tomorrow. according to his dad, he said its "gunna need some work" and will take a little time. i really wanted to have it for a meet this weekend but it looks like maybe not. hopefully it turns out ok and this doesnt cost a ridiculous amount of $$

sorry guys have been super busy with a few GB's
its best to email me if you have questions. but the ruff edge, you just need to sand down before paint.
and if anything is damaged during shipping I have insurance
or if something is really wrong I can replace. LMK thanks

This keeps getting better and better.
He didn't send the rear plate? I dunno bout u guys but http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j1...d/CIMG2495.jpg kinda made me think it was part of the package...
And yet.. none of you are complaining about it. Funny considering thats a $500 Mugen accessory.
CC did you get it on the car yet?

I didn't know my car is in DCC(Dupli Color Chrome) 
So I decided to go with chrome paint from ALSA 
Anyway, don't do clear coat on painted insert. It'll dull shine of the original paint and make it darker.

Its real, it just doesnt work as perfectly as you would want. They painted someones lambo chrome.. some rapper i think. It works its just extremely difficult to use correctly is all. The spray can stuff doesnt work half as good as normally spraying. In all reality its worth a shot if ur not short on cash, but if it was going on my $30k car, i'd pay to have it done by a professional.
Also notice how milky the video looks, and the cutscene where it stops then starts, also noticed how the chrome doesnt look even.

Also, when are we going to see pics of the kit installed on your car? I would consider a 2006 full Mugen kit, but I want to see SSG's handiwork in a pic before I'd commit to anything...

its from Canada. I marked the full package as a $180 Gift.
so unless you were really unlucky and the opened up the package and think is worth more. you dont get charge.
only 1-2% of the people might get charge $20-$60

Don't you think you're responsible for this huh? You do business like this always? You gotta pay extra 10% because you're unlucky one after you got the payment? You know why I got the bill don't you? You shipped the package as a 180$ gift, which is not, to save your money and now the shipping company reailzed the package is not a 180$ gift and asking me to pay 60$ for that. I don't know why should I pay for this. You saved your money by making false statement and I'm responsible for that? What a non-sense 
I didn't ask you to send the kit as 180$ gift 
What do you think SSG?

I have no idea why are you guys complaining sooo much about Custom? I'm not helping SSG here but this is the fact, custom does charge by the border and it has nothing to do with the seller...
Example...
I have bought a Used high-flow cat on this forum for $120USD, I got charged on custom for $30CDN, plus $18.50CDN for UPS brokage fee. My total price is approx $160USD, but it has nothing to do with the dealer. I paid almost 33% on top, should I cry to the seller?
My friend had bought a set of tires (4) from the States because it's about $500CDN cheaper than getting it from Canada, he got charge $230CDN for tax and ~$80CDN from UPS Brokage, so should TireRack paid for his custom or mark up the price because the receiver needs to pay $310CDN extra???
When the seller are willing to mark down the price, it will lower your chance of getting charge on custom, OR even if you get charge, it will based on the "claimed" amount on the shipping slip unless it's suspicious. The only disadvantage is, when your item is lost, OR if you item is damage, the courier company will only reinburse the ""claimed" amount, so toss a coin there.
CUSTOM incl. Tax (your local) + Tariff + other BS. This is explanable if you are willing to spend time to call the border. However, good luck on your brokage fee. Try calling Fedex and UPS and ask them the forumla on HOW TO calculate the brokage fee, they will NEVER have an answer for you. That's why they are having a global lawsuits right now.
