is JKL Racing still around?

http://shop.jklre.com/collections/fd3s

is JKL Racing still around? i'm trying to contact them to buy a RE-Amemiya widebody kit and all I get is a voicemail with no call back, and when they did pick up one time, it was just a bunch of guys talking and laughing in the background

Is this an actual shop or some guy selling parts out of his garage? I'm local and I would like to pick up a kit ASAP

I have dealt with them in the past. I picked up a fc T2 lip and bumper exhaust guards and delete. I would suggest emailing them about those parts. Meet up in Sf and deal them them in person. There reputation on the Rx7club has a shady past. That's why I say deal with them in person and cash UP front deals. Bring a friend if you have to meet in person when you do the transaction. For safety reasons.

Magus2222 has a very good point. Research the threads on JLK engineering. You find the same answers I found.

thanks for the heads up guys, i was planning to meet them at a mall parking lot or somewhere else public, but i can't even get ahold of them..

on another note, does anyone know where i can get a RE-amemiya replica kit? or just the front bumper since that's mainly what i'm interested in, i can live without the widebody

this front bumper

Try this company. Shine Auto Project
They are also on the forums too. I would suggest call them. I order a FC rear diffuser from them. Shipping is a PITA but If your willing to shell out for it. Go ahead.

I tried Shine, VIS, Seibon, none of them have that RE-amemiya replica bumper

Well my advice would be contact them personally. If you want to take a chance. Have them build it and meet them in person and proceed with the transaction. Its murky waters. Its your call.
