Default Kei Office Kit Poll: Would you buy it if it was available and affordable in the US?

Let's say there was a Kei Office-type kit available here in the US at an affordable price, Hybrid FRP version.
Fitment and Quality would be great.

How many of you would definitely be interested in purchasing the kit, if the price of the kit was about $950 + shipping (and taxes if applicable)? Remember, this is for the full front/rear bumper and side skirts (not a lip kit). The original kit costs about US $1,861.52 (japanparts.com) + shipping from Japan (est. $500) = so around $2,400.

If you wanted to buy the individual parts, it would be about:
Front: $350
Rear: $350
Sides: $250

10 guys willing to put a deposit of $300 could probably make this work.

Would you be interested?




Remember, it's a Kei-Office-type kit, so it's not original, but an exact replica of high quality and fitment.

I am asking Shine Auto Project to do this project because I think they are the best candidates for it.
I have seen their kits in person and the quality of the kit as well as their customer service has been nothing but good from what I have heard.

You can see example of their kits here on ebay

That's probably the best looking rear-end I've seen. I like the front, but the horizontal lines in the side holes are not sitting well with me. The sides are nice too, but the vent thingy is just a tad off for me too. Maybe it's too far forward or something?

Over-all though...it seems to be a pretty nice, subtle yet, aggressive kit. I'd buy the rear if I had the money at the time...possibly the front. I could modify the front to suit my tastes very easily. It being FRP would make it much easier to do too.

Hybrid FRP = Hybrid Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic. Basically you can grab this stuff and twist it around and it won't break.

Buy the original for a replica mold while they last, Kei ofiice will not be produceing this kit anymore.

"Manny Kei Office japan close down.. someone else took it over but not doing kits anymore.."

Here is another pic


By the way a friend contacted a source of his in japan to find the kit for me and the source mentioned that Kei office dosn't have that kit anymore and not produceing.
So before anyone attempts to buy the kit for what ever reason make sure they acually have it in stock.

japanparts.com claims they have one.

Extremly rare kit now

I guess this is a good thing for the people who want this replica kit then, they can actually get one at an affordable price.
