Carbon Fibre S2 Front Foglight/indicator Surrounds Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

It's like the complete opposite of what I was expecting.

I went into it thinking I was going to have to trim and cut it to make it fit given it was the prototype and was amazed it fit without me needing to do anything.

Fellas keep in mind that mounting point locations are very hard to replicate within mm's without an expensive jig which would increase the price dramatically.

I hate saying it because we pride ourselves on positive feedback, but some minor alterations will be unavoidable with products with complex mounting points.

When these things coming

Oops just read the last page, I hope they come Monday now

Yeah I understand that 100%. Hence why I was counting on having to modify mine slightly. I must have just got the luck of the draw. At the end of the day, for the price they are and considering you don't really need to get all 6 fittings on (I had two snapped on my factory one and didn't even know) I still think they are damn decent.

I probably just got every one's hopes up when I said they were a perfect fit, sorry guys lol.

Fitted my set today, took a bit of effort to get them to fit although I am happy with the end result

Just got mine today, fairly happy with what I got, one visible blemish on the face side,

Any one else in Perth get a set of these, or am I going to be the only bad ass rolling around with a set?? Hope so!!!

If some one knows somebody that wants a set please buy my spare ones, they are just sitting in a box doing nothing :(

Has anyone compared them against other carbon they have on their car?

Mine seem very blue in comparison to my bonnet, maybe I just need to polish up the covers?

In any case, once I get them looking black (polish or tint) like carbon, they should look like this.

Picked mine up today and got them on eventually.. I only had problems with one of the mounting points on each, along the slanted corner which I managed to snap off on one (which made it easier to saw about 5mm off!) and sawed the same off the other without snapping it off. happy.gif Also had to use different screws but not a problem really. My FMIC piping was the worst problem I had, trying to get a bolt off where it was right in the way. Oddly the bolts on one side were 10mm the other side were 8mm.. Hmmm.

i have a return flow blitz cooler and it was a massive pain in the ass to squeeze my hand between the piping and get the bolts undone

and then re do them

next we need to get someone to cut the glass on those clear glass lenses so we can replace the orange indicators....

hmmm firstly I need some time to do all this stuff...

I accidentally smashed one when we moved to our new place, hence why I havn't really done anything new in that area :(

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
