Under the "Group Buy" subforum in the "Vendors and Group Buys" section. ShineAuto will open the Group Buy for this FEED replica kit very shortly as soon as he gets permission from the Admin.

When this interest list is converted to the official Group Buy list, ShineAuto will start to collect a $200 deposit from each of the interested parties.

Shineauto will then order the original FEED kit from Japan which will probably take two weeks to arrive.

After arrival of the original FEED kit, ShineAuto will make a mold of the kit and will then fabricate the replica.

After fabricating, ShineAuto will test-fit the replica, make adjustments and/or corrections to the mold if needed, make sure that the fitment is good.

Now, the Group Buy is first pay, first served, meaning that if you are the first to send your $200 deposit, you will be the first in the list, and the first to receive the replica kit.

Balance of payment will be charged to your account when the replica is shipped out to you.

It looks like the FEED front in this race. At the 50 second mark is a good front shot.

Awesome vid clip dbullock. Those drivers have no fear in wet conditions, they're nuts. It sure looks like the feed kit and it looks better and better every time I see it.

Shineauto will then order the original FEED kit from Japan which will probably take two weeks to arrive.

two weeks? yeah right more like two months. i was thinking about getting the odula kit from jondemand but they said it would take about 8-10 weeks to come to the states and then sit in customs for a week. so i don't know where you're getting the idea that it will take only two weeks to come from japan.

It is just an approximation since I do not know the exact fabrication/shipping schedule of Fujita Engineering. Some JDM body kits have to be fabricated (which will take perhaps a week or two), and then shipped to the USA which will probably take another week or two to reach the wholesaler.

If Fujita Engineering has ready-to-ship inventory (which means that they do not have to fabricate) then it will probably take approximately two weeks (shipping one week, then customs another week).

I'm just assuming that the one-week shipping is by air. However, if Fujita uses shipping container (by sea) then it will probably take 3 to 4 weeks to arrive in the USA, then another week in customs before delivery to ShineAuto.

The best way to know the schedule is to call Shine.

Gray is a neutral color, so it will not clash with the blue. But personally, I would rather paint the CF to match the color of the car.

oh, so the side skirt is the exact shape of the FRP, but it's just made of
CF?? i thought there was some CF sticking out from the bottom like a splitter.
That would be cool.. If it's just the same shape, but made of CF, I'd prefer
the FRP.

Rico,

I'm not really sure what the CF skirt looks like, whether it sticks at the bottom or not. Here is the Fujita Engineering website but in Japanese, and the picture of the same CF skirt. You can probable use google to translate.
