TX Shine Auto shipment to Houston

Anyone interested on going in on some Shine Auto items for Houston delivery? I've been wanting the rear street diffuser for some time myself, except the $150 shipping is lousy. However, it looks like I could order 10 diffusers and still pay $150 shipping total... or add other miscellaneous items for much-reduced shipping costs.

FD3S RX-7 Misc. Items | Shine Auto Project

Is anyone interested on going together on an order and saving shipping costs?

Please shoot me a PM if there are any Shine Auto items you would like to order and are local.

Stephen

I'm totally down for a Street Diffuser in Carbon Fiber. I just got my CF sideskirts in and it would go perfect. If we can get some kind of discount I'd be interested in a carbon fiber front lip too!

Possibly me, but you and I have already talked about it.

Shineauto also makes parts for FC's, in case anyone was wondering.

If anyone has been wanting to add some Shine exterior parts, I'd recommend posting in this thread... Unless you like paying $100 more for shipping.

So...I'm getting impatient and want to place an order. In order to give others time I would be willing to wait until 2/1 to do it. I plan on ordering a CF rear diffuser for sure and I will decide on the cf front lip and lip spoiler when the order is placed. Will anybody else be ready by then?

Ha, Norm has the FD bug! I am ready any time. So far it is just you, me and Travis (Enthalpy). Any others?

If you want a low-profile trunk spoiler or some sweet Feed replica sides, now is the time fellas!

This is the direction I'm going:

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...nstall-902081/

Already have the mud flaps installed and I think they go great. Already have a couple of Shine items and I must say the quality is excellent and usually has better fitment the underlying original (and often impossible to find) part.

The two flaws with Shine are (a) getting a hold of them and placing an order is a pain in the gas and (b) shipping prices are pretty steep unless you're ordering multiple items. Both of these are resolved by ordering as a little group.

Haha, I've actually had my CF sideskirts for a couple of weeks now and I bothers me every time I see them just sitting in my game room, lol. I'm set on the diffuser for sure, I just need to make up my mind as to if I like the spoilerless back or I want that dang CF lip spoiler. If I don't do the lip spoiler I'm going to do the cf front lip for sure just because it's worth it with shipping.

I think for now I can hold my FD fever off until the end of the month, hahaha.

I'll have to back out... Going with a new fuel pump, fuel pressure sensor, and a lot of other little things to improve the finish of the car.

Yep, still on. In true Shine Auto fashion, I've put in three calls over the past week and haven't caught them yet -- no need to leave a VM as those are generally ignored. I am in for Coffee and Cars.

Man, we all were wondering if you were going to see the other thread and show up or not.

I'll make the thread for next months C&C in all caps so you can see it lol. I would have called you but I didn't even look in this thread again.

Awesome! Do I need to contact them by phone to place my order and say I'm with you? Please let me know what to do and I'll pay asap!
