I\'m trying to budget for some exterior mods at the moment so I\'m trying to find the best place for FEED parts ?

I\'m looking at the Type F Front bumper and the Type F Firbreglass sideskirts on the Rotary Extreme site.  These two come to $1000 without shipping, anywhere cheaper ?

I\'m also looking for the Carbon door handles, Carbon Wing mirrors and Carbon wing vent covers. Reworx have got the lot but seem a bit pricey...

Cheers for any help....

all feed stuff is pricey but they still get buyers because it is good quality but the words feed and cheap do not exist in the same universe

Bulla, they might seem pricey, but by the time they have added duty, tax and then a little bit of profit its not that bad. The advantage of buying from a recognised company is that you get backup from them. If you import it yourself and you have problems, you then have to sort it out. Which is a real nightmare.

Yeah I can imagine it must be. I wasnt necessarily thinking of importing just wondering if there was anywhere else to buy from. Reworx seem to have the monopoly on most of the bits I want ! Always willing to give the opposistion a try :-)

Cheers for the replies, I\'ll get saving !

We sell very little FEED gear \'cause its so expensive; the stuff looks expensive and every one assumes that its us making a ton of cash - I wish!! 3/4 of their products have next to zero (no, I mean ZERO!) profit on them because I personally cannot see how I can justify a higher price even though it needs it. It depends on air freighting their products with a load of other stuff to make bringing it in even viable. UK prices are always going to look high compared to $\'s as airfreight costs a load and then we get to help fill the wholes in Gordon Brown\'s \'economy\' on entry :(

The up side is original FEED is exclusive and the fit from what i\'ve seen to date is second to none (a lot better than RE-A for e.g.!).

Did I hear someone mention FEED?

I find that buying a shiny bit here and aquiring a shiny bit there throughout the year makes the cost less scary, then come Winter, get them all fited at once :)

I\'ve been prescribed 1 FEED piece of kit per month - stops me going cr-A-zy.

Thanks for all the info..

I guess I\'ll take Chris\'s advice and buy bit by bit then have it all fitted and a respray at once.

Mmmm... Feed is good!
Mind you I like C-West, RE Amemiya, Panspeed, R-magic, Knight sports, Scoot, Feast, Auto-exe and Kazama aswell.... Damn, FDs are an expensive hobby!

Good idea though Chris, I like it!
Cheers

I tell you, it\'s a good job I don\'t live near a tuner - otherwise I\'d be constantly broke.

Regarding the body kit, I got it all at once as it is bulky it makes shipping easier plus it can be shipped straight to the paint shop ready to be put on so it doesn\'t have to be sat around taking up space for ages.
I buy bits here and there that are small-ish e.g. pulleys, bushes, mounts etc.
