I bought an aftermarket front bar for my skyline from them a few years ago and it was about 4 inches too wide and the quality had a lot to be desired.

unless your car is a 7g it wont fit, thats the manufacturing period of the US 7g galant, they didnt get the 8g till 1998-2004

Rofl 4"'s that's a whole army of bee's dicks.

Yeah, you can obviously imagine I was more then slightly miffed when we went to test fit before painting it.

Defintiely don't go to CARMATE
They've got the worst products there and most of their kits hardly fit. You've been warned. I dare you to try them

hmmm um from memory(cancer has taken it away),mick bought a complete kit and a facelift rear bumper and bootlid with the reo bar and freight was like 500 i think,airfreight that was,um but customs were arses bout something,so im getting someone that end close to help me bypass this as i feel they took us for a ride so im doing some legal papwerwork and researching so that we may send over to you guys ther without any problems,ofcourse theres always the option of packing a container or renting a small section to get cheap freight

 

[SiliconAngel]

Nothing in shipping is 'cheap' these days - container costs are more than twice what they were six months ago

Wow they look so freakin awesome!

If we were to get one made up, would it be CF or black painted?

I want a CF one eventually *starts searching the web*

would that fit on a pre-facelift?

I still want to have that "bulgier" facelift bonnet on mine. With this, does this have that "bulge" from the facelifts?
I'm quite fussy. Basically looking for a bonnet with the bulge of the facelift's and the vents of an evo. So it can look as OEM as possible.

yeah man, if you look at the first link i sent those have the shape of the bulge

Looks like they were modelled off the facelift bonnet, then had the evo goodies whacked on there

 

[dimi_108]

Thanks Tom. I'm going to buy one late next month. Even if shipping is $685.
Then i'm going to get it painted to match the car. Not really into the whole black bonnet cf thing.
It's the best evo bonnet for facelifts i've seen so far.
Hopefully it's a direct fit.

 

[Tom]

I think i'll keep it CF if I get one

Atleast they don't seem to be a limited thing, there's heaps there! .. So I can take my time in saving (even though I SUCK at saving LOL)

 

[dimi_108]

Yeah that's the shit!
100% direct fit aye?
