Possible GB for Mugen AeroKit ?

Hi all,

I send one e-mail to KingMotors today (Mr. Scott) if they are interested to get us good price for GB on AeroKit. Prices above are listprices from their web, so these are not GB prices. I'll publish discounted prices as soon as I get some feedback.

The bundle I propose to him could be :
- Side Spoiler TSX $ 630.00 (list price)
- Rear Under Spoiler TSX $ 520.00 (list price)
- Air Spoiler TSX $ 540.00 (list price)
- Front Under Spoiler TSX $ 530.00 (list price)

This mean that whole 4 parts would be then $ 2.220 (list price)

I'll try to get best possible discount for order of 3-5 bundles? I've requested price of 1.700 USD for whole bundle? What do you think guys?

Does anyone have better contacts at KingMotors ?

And one more thing. I forgot that this post should be under other thread...

Exactly! $500 US. No offense, but Who will give you a Mugen Rear Under Spoiler($520 list price) for free?

most likely Kingmotorsports wont give you any discount on Mugen parts...

it will be easier for you to go to the local auto shops, and see if any of them got connections with people (who can get Mugen parts) in Japan, and have them ship the parts to your area, so ya...not thru Kingmotorsports is wut i am saying

my friend has done that, and he did get Mugen parts for cheaper price, but...not that much for sure!

good luk!

cant blame you for trying! wonder if shipping to slovenia will negate the savings, instead of buying locally....good luck!

I got few days back answer from them..

Bostjan,

I appreciate the interest in a TSX bundle of exterior parts. The best I
could do is $2,000 US if you have 5+ buyers.

Forget about King Motorsports, I got a quote from A&J Racing in Vancouver couple week ago for $2415 CDN = $1857 USD. (not include shipping)
You don't even have to group buy...


The body kit can come painted or not painted. That's your choice.There is extra cost for painted ones though..
These will take around 6-8 weeks for special order. The price on the lip kit is $2070 CAD or around $1592 USD not painted. The painted price is $2415 CAD or around $1857 USD.

The prices are for the 4 pc lip kit...the rear spoiler is not included.

Thanks,

Mugen makes pre-painted kits for US model cars!?
Kingmotorsports staff once told me that Mugen doesnt do that due to the difference paint code between here and Japan!?

btw, 1592 usd for that 4 pieces (unpainted) is such a good price!

So the price Kingmotorsports give is included the rear spoiler and it is $2000usd unpainted?

The price from AJ is $1592usd unpainted without the rear spoiler?

How much is the rear spoiler alone? More or less than the $408usd price different?

BTW, I think you can order the bodykit painted from Mugen, just have to make sure you order the right color code.

I guess if you have the carbon grey and you want the Mugen kit, you probably can only get the unpainted one and then paint it yourself like the Mugen Grill.

BTW, I just email BPT to see what price they can give us on the Mugen kits.

MC-CL7 can you get pricing info on the Mugen front lip alone while you're asking???? I'd get one painted for the right price.....

cmf, I will wait for their reply first. I just asked for the best price on both the Mugen and Euro R kits without a GB, because I highly doubt we can get enough ppl (ie. 3-5 ppl) to join a $2000usd GB.

the front lip is lower than the oem lip. you need to get the whole kit otherwise your car will look like its really tipped forward.

I agree, Euro R kit is for a nice stock look JDM look. Mugen Kits is for ppl that want something stand out and JDM, but also lot more expensive.

here is the mugen lip w/ the Euro-R kit, I think it looks pretty good. the lines coming off the front lip don't match, but it works IMO.

look how high the bottom of the rear euro R lip is compared to the mugen front. looks funny.

and yes that is the type R spoiler.

however, that being said, in order to afford the kit I may have to purchase piece by piece :'(
