You can do it yourself. Go to http://www.yahoo.com and type in "currency conversion" Go to one of the sites listed and set it to convert Japanese yen (JPY) to United States dollars (USD). Enjoy!

Like I posted at the beginning of the thread. They don't have a website listed in the magazine, nor could I find one by searching using Japanese search engines.
I've never heard of the company before. They are based out of Osaka. That's about all I can tell you. I can say that they are not one of the top/major rotary tuners in Japan. Those would be... RMagic, AutoExe, RE Amemiya, Knight Sports, Fujita Engineering (FEED), Revolution, Over Drive, San Ai, Pan Sports... (more major ones at the beginning).

I can understand that. The sides are similar though, so the only major difference would be the front bumper if you mixed them... so I offered it as another solution.
One thing about Hybrid Aero that INGS offers... those pics of the MS Urethane kit that Aeroworks has... there are pics of guys doing that to the INGS kit in Hyper Rev... FRP version and Hybrid Aero version. They can barely flex the FRP version, but the Hybrid Aero vesion they can wring it like towel... like urethane (of course it does get a small stress crack into though).

NICE FRONT BUMPER!!!!!! i'll buy it if they can improve the fitments on both head light to match the line. the best thing about this bumper is that it doesn't look rice at all. it automatic adds 20 grands to the car.

The rear looks good, but I'm worried about melting the plastics with high exhaust temps. I will have a CZ1 installed and the exhaust being so close to the body kit, will it melt it?

Now that is a nice kit. And like everyone else, I especially like the quad tip exhaust... but, looking at the under-car pic of the exhaust closely, I would be concerned about flow. Too many sharp bends perhaps. Still a work of art though. :D

The other day when I was leaves the greasy pit of death called McDonald's, I saw and heard my first modded 8 (AutoExe kit and exhaust). My neighbors are 100% stock. Damn that 8 sounded badass.
You also would love the DVD that came with one of my mags... it has lots of 8 track time, talks with the head designers and a run with the 787B... man the sound from that engine!
I have to admit... for awhile there the new Legacy B4 (GT? in the US) is beautiful and was pulling at my heart, but the 8 with this kit on it... this is all me. Mazdawhat kit? :D

Nice look to the front end. It looks as though it uses a new hood as well, the front hood line is even witht the top of the lights, where the standard hood is about 1/4th to 1/3rd of the way down the lights. Also the hood has no "triangle" embossed on it.
