I bought my kits from NARZ Auto styling (Melbourne) and I wouldn't recommend them.

My first bar started to crack 'cos of poor mounting, I paid for my next bar which I can obviously see that the fibreglass has not been finished properly, and the paint is starting to shit itself.

I wouldn't bother with Jetspeed in Melb either, the asian lady behind the counter seems like she wants to hit you after every question you ask. Wouldn't feel good about handing my money over to them, although never heard the quality is good.

So if you find a good place for kits in Melb let me know, I'm planning to change my kits for some quality sh!t!!

I am looking for somewhere that sells BN Sports bodykits, other than Viva Garage in South Australia.

I'm preferably looking for somewhere in South Australia, but I'm willing to buy from anywhere.

Can you buy original bodykits in Australia anywhere, or do you have to buy them directly from Japan?

If you guys are keen to buy overseas check out www.aerotech.co.nz . They are made in Christchurch and the bumper I bought is a very nice fit (so my panel beater says). Pretty much no prep work except for a light sand. Prices on the site include mesh and indicators.

John is a friendly guy, easy to deal with.

Just thought I'd let ya know incase you cant find anything good locally

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
