Default NISMO V3 Replica by Aeromaster

Has anyone heard of the company Aeromaster?

link: http://www.aeromaster.jp/

They are a japanese company that seems to make replica body kits.

I really like the V3 Nismo but the USDM versions have the ugly reflectors on them.

I suppose its considered the 380RS in Japan and was wondering if it was worthwhile to order this from japanparts.com

The original is like $480. Buy the original and have a bodyshop fill in the reflector area and save yourself the large shipping cost and long *** shipping time.

OEM is not FRP. It's urethane. You're crazy to buy FRP over urethane for almost double the cost.

so fill them in (costs a little bit more) or simply paint the reflectors body color (costs nothing extra)

wait till you see the shipping costs door to door for a bumper from Japan

I was thinking about filling them in...but being urethane thought the filler would crack since is not as flexible as urathane.

better to start with a genuine, OEM piece that you absolutely know will fit perfectly (and costs less), vs some replica from halfway around the world from an unknown manufacturer - especially since you can just paint the stock reflectors and viola, they are now body color, without having to use filler at all.

Has anyone iquired further about these Aeromaster replicas. Possibly a group shipment would reduce the shipping costs, so these will be affordable. Does anyone know of the fit and quality?

Trivial, but OEM is Polypropylene.
