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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
