actually this i will 100% disagree with you! ive been to shine a few times, and i know the owner ken.. hes a very nice guy.... but anyways, back to why i disagree....they usually copy very very expensive bodykits made in japan, for people who could NEVER afford a $2-4k bodykit.. and not to mention, for older cars like the rx7 fc3s, they made copies of bodykits that were discontinued over 10 years ago, and impossible to get ahold of! and as for fitment... i have 1 story for this.... a while back, they were making a copy of an old hood for the fc, when they got the original, and fit it, it was terrible! so they cut the scoop off, got a stock hood, and grafted it on that hood... then they made the mold, and copied... now it fits better that the original... and is a beautiful hood!

so i completely back up shine for making body parts that would be otherwise unobtainable to most people...

The new STI is kinda cool. Never been a huge Subbie fan, but they are one of the BEST cars to lease. Decent residuals, and they last fine for the first 30,000 miles.
How much do they weight now? And how could you go from an RX8 to a station wagon?

If that bothers you, you'll really be irritated when I have to spell out colour or tyres.

realise. (n.d.). WordNet® 3.0. Retrieved November 08, 2007, from Dictionary.com website: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/realise

The main differences between American and British English spellings are given below:

British English words that end in -re (e.g. centre, fibre, theatre) often end in -er in American English (center, fiber, theater).

British English words that end in -our (e.g. colour, humour) usually end with -or in American English (color, humor).

Verbs in British English that can be spelled with either -ize or -ise at the end (e.g. recognize/recognise) are always spelled with -ize in American English.

Verbs in British English that end in -yse (e.g. analyse) are always spelled -yze in American English (analyze).

In British spelling, verbs ending in a vowel plus l double the l when adding endings that begin with a vowel (e.g. travel, travelled, traveller). In American English the l is not doubled (travel, traveled, traveler).

British English words that are spelled with the double vowels ae or oe (e.g. archaeology, manoeuvre) are just spelled with an e in American English (archeology, maneuver).

Some nouns that end with -ence in British English (e.g. licence, defence) are spelled -ense in American English (license, defense).

Some nouns that end with -ogue in British English (e.g. dialogue) end with -og in American English (dialog).
