Hey everyone,

I am spending my summer here in Hong Kong and I just found out that my friend opened a company in the US that sells exterior parts but he gets all his parts produced in Hong Kong.

I am trying to get eyelids from him, which he doesn't have since the US doesn't have FTOs. But, I can always buy them from another company and just have him make the same ones.

These are the only type of eyelids he can get. I still have to discuss pricing with him. So let me know who would be interested so I can give him an estimate on the quantity.

No, that's a picture I found from a company here in Hong Kong.

Anybody interested in the eyelids?

He surely can make it, and it will only be $400USD. But how would he ship it to you? If you know a way, I certainly can work something out for you.

Funny do you work for SRS Auto, if not, how do you know these are not the same photo :?: :?: :?: Because these are the same photo they send me. & they get their kits from HK too :roll:

No, I don't work for SRS Auto. I don't know if these are the same photos, but I meant to say that I didn't get the photos from SRS. These might be the same photos, but SRS got them from the company here in HK (as you can see the background, it's HK) and I found that same picture on a HK company's website. So I am suspecting that I know who SRS Auto's supplier is now.

only that the color won't match and it won't have a 3D look to it. i thought about it too, but i saw some examples online and they look horrible.

by the way, I spoke with my friend, and he said they will be $80 USD shipped, and $40 USD extra to have him paint them to match the car. Let me know who would be interested. Thanks.

Yea, I think he can get that style, since he can just get the eyelids and cut out the shape of those eyelids you posted. I will be seeing him this afternoon, so I will see what happens.

Haha, I just didn't understand what you meant the first time. I am actually kind of an American. I lived in New York for 15 years, then moved back to HK, and went to Sydney for school.

Ohhh & the front bumper too.....well thats what i mean really. but the eyelid is nicer then the "square" one.

$400USD would be for everything besides the spoiler, the wing should be just a little more, maybe $70-80 USD. Getting the kit is easy, it's just shipping it that's hard. He asid he shipped a from bumper to Singapore once and it cost around $140USD.

All his parts are made of fiberglass reinforced plastic, I just saw him install a Mazda 3 kit today and it was quality stuff.

topmix? did you know topmix isn't original to begin with? they are a company here in hong kong that copies bodykits from japanese companies in their factory in china.

he has no idea how to ship to melb, if someone does, please let me know.
