Question 1ST Gen. TL owners!

I get alot of emails from 1st gen. tl owners asking about kits from Japan. I was looking around and was wondering if any of you knew what your tl's body serial was in Japan?
Is it UA-2 or UA-3. I was thinking it was UA-3 but I'm not sure. Maybe there is a kit available from Blaze and Value Sports.

Well, I haven't heard anything good from the guys I emailed in Cali, so screw them I go direct from Japan. Expect 3 pc kit prices to be around $1500.
