USA actually. Japanese kits are top quality and not what most kiwis would refer to as "reasonable price."

What car?
WE make a kit for AE101 Levin/Trueno locally. It's well priced.

We can supply the TRD kit for AE86 still. But it is very expensive. We sell the odd one off shore but they're a bit rich for our market.
There were a number of people making cheap copies in NZ.
Who they are and whether they're still doing it I don't know.

Tell me how it goes with Dions panel and paint... my mates cousins car was fully stripped 2 weeks after they put a body kit onto his car... possibly not related though.

Areotech quoted me as much for just a lip on my bumper and dions panel and paint for the hole front kit. :lol:

I have had a few jobs done by them myself, another waiting for funds. I also gave them a lot of work thru mates needing full resprays, full kits etc, never had any problems with them at all.... coincidence i'm thinking,

Probably, thats what i thought, but i hadnt heard anyone rate them.. i might go check them out again my self, seeing as you seem to rate them highly... How much was it for a re-spray do you know?

well I cant remember the exact price, but it was for an ae85 with a bit of rust here and there so needed a big tidy up, but it came out so mint!!

They do a 'good value' job in my opinion, thats about it, good luck with it.
