Enjoy gentlemen, your fiberglass replacement bits are here
I'm especially digging the fact that you can pretty much back half the car in fiberglass now given the work these guys have done. The prices aren't too radical (around 360 bones for a kouki JDM fiberglass bumper with built in fg brackets), and there's loads of goodies in there. Anyone want to try and hit the magical sub 1800 weight?

Yeah but how much is shipping an oversized package from Europe? It's like $150-250 between states here in the US.

If we got enough people involved we could make it a container shipment, that'd make it'd about a hundred times cheaper haha.

Re: I'm surprised it was never mentioned on the old board
NICE... both O/S and stock... Not sure how original... but at least now you can rebody the entire car... great news... hope they keep it up... the more companies deciding that AE86 parts are worthy of their time and money, the easier it will be to keep them forever..........
I'll bet 1/2 of the Muscle cars @ the auctions this past year would have been junkyard heaps without restoration suppliers.

Re: I'm surprised it was never mentioned on the old board
one reason why it might not have been mentioned is that the fitment of these panels may be questionable? lots of companies make fiberglass copies of body kits and other OE body panels. fitment is always a bit iffy.

Re: I'm surprised it was never mentioned on the old board
This is actually really cool! It's cool to know companies are actually make replacement parts now.
I wonder if anyone on these boards has used these before?
This is pretty sweet--maybe even a bit better--metal.

Re: I'm surprised it was never mentioned on the old board
Fishbone, please share with us how those panels fit when the time comes!!!
I am pretty sure both QPs on my car are blown out and are just layer upon layer of bondo.
Will most likely have to replace them...

Re: I'm surprised it was never mentioned on the old board
YES! Please =)
I need motivation.
Glad there are guys out there who want to fix crummy condition 86 chassis rather than just send them to the scrap.

Re: I'm surprised it was never mentioned on the old board
Question about the wolf steel panels. Are those for the coupe/hatch only or are they interchangeable?

Re: I'm surprised it was never mentioned on the old board
I hate to be the party pooper here, but most (at least many) of us have JDM or USDM ae86's, these parts look like they're for EDM car, does it mean that you need to buy new brackets to support them on your car?
Re: I'm surprised it was never mentioned on the old board
Their description says the brackets are fiberglass and embedded in the bumper (i.e. it's all one piece).
The edm models have the same bumpers/brackets as the jdm models. In theory it should work fine since the oem jdm bumpers/brackets are interchangeable on a usdm car.

I'm down for a kouki rear and hatch door if we get a group buy together.
