I can get foresight fenders direct from them. I do importing on the side. I've bought every FC part they make.
Fenders are the easiest to ship. Hoods are a bitch to ship, sideskirts are too long to meet the shipping requirements (cause I don't have enough business to justify a container..) bumpers meet the requirements but are expensive unless you ship like 10 of them at one time. Sideskirts could be cut in half and reglassed stateside if it came down to it I guess. I can pretty much get anything off of Yahoo Auctions Japan.

On the foresight website, they list them for about 310$ just for the rears and I just looked on RHDjapan and they have them listed for $370..Honestly once it's all said and done it would be around the same price.
Looks like RHDJapan makes their money on the kits, not the fenders. They have the kits listed at 400 + per piece, where as on the foresight website the price is $850 for the type 1...

10.5's 285/40 i think. its been a while. cant remember..
notice how the fenders dont hour glass. it covers the wheels and tires pretty well. i could have put 11's and a 305 or 315 no problem.. front needed a spacer or wider wheels but i didn't have it finished long enough to get that done..

I'm confused on why and the hell is the tage screwed into the the damn bumper & not between the lights? BTW looks like your fenders do hour glass & I would like too see a front view of the car.

geesh...i guess i should appologize. this is all my fault. i should articulate better. let me start over.
notice how the fenders dont hour glass as much using the same standard combo...bmajic/gpsports...or version select
this is the normal hour glass look...
and the liscense plate is bolted to the "damn" bumper because i was making a custom part for it and didn't want to be continually taking it on and off....though i drove it on occasion... are there any other strange or weird things about this car i might can help you with?? like maybe why its in primer...or how come the its running so rich...
i thought this was a widebody thread???

Yes it is the widebody thread section & there will be comments & questions when you post. It's your car do what you want, I just didn't understand the plate placement.

i would like nothing more than to show you pics of this car...seriously. it was my pride and joy as well as my shop car.....i was just an apprentice at the time but i had big plans to showcase it..
but it was stolen as i was finishing it up about 6 months after these pics were taken...
the pic in the dark is the last pic that i have been able to find of the build..

Well color me excited. I just bought the original Tri-Point Engineering FC fender molds (thanks to Anthony Lleras for passing them along). Hoping to have these on my car by summer and back on the market by fall.

Congrats on aquiring the molds, love to see the finished product on your car. By on the market what were you planning on as far as price?

I need to get the first set pulled and installed so I have a better idea on cost. The goal will certainly be to charge a bit more than RaceOnUSA does for their crappy fitment version, but less than RX-heven does for his widebody on crack.
