EOI - BJ/SP20 - Autoexe "style" front grill

wheeler33 · 12-08-2010, 09:43 PM

Hey guys,

I've just been trying to find some local ones, but I've found some "replica" autoexe "style" front grills.

I wasn't really keen on paying $400 for authentic at the moment and we could probably get a discount if we bought more, would anyone be interested?

Sports Mesh Grill - possibly $100 > $ 110

Carbon Grill - possibly $150+

i'll inquire soon and hopefully might get some numbers. I probably won't order until end of month/start of next. Unless... someone knows where we can get some from Aus?

if anyone else is keen. fingers crossed

Ice88 · 13-08-2010, 02:53 AM

Heads up: BJ 1.8 and SP20 grills are not the same shape!

So which do they fit?

Ice88 · 13-08-2010, 03:22 AM

Im assuming thats cause of the front bar yesh?

EDIT: According to description it fits MP3 e.t.c but not ES DX e.t.c

That means SP20 shape

The same seller is on Ebay.com

and it looks to be cheaper going ebay rather then that other site

CF:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-M...#ht_3326wt_752

Fibreglass:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-M...#ht_3644wt_752

wheeler33 · 13-08-2010, 08:29 AM

it is on Ebay ay, that might be good, only thing the postage is jacked. On ioffer i can bargin with him & postage is usually included in the price. I'll see what i can do. I've already emailed the guy. But either way we'll get the cheapest price.

marcs_sp20 · 13-08-2010, 08:47 AM

relook at the links you posted, postage aint included, its displayed underneath the price - $45...

wheeler33 · 13-08-2010, 09:16 AM

Yeah i know what you mean, iOffer is slightly different (they usually include postage even though they say they don't, its a bit confusing) i've shopped on both and with ioffer you can haggle it down where as the eBay is some what set in stone.

If you look @ CF version on iOffer you got a person who's picked one up for

" Counter Offer Dec 1, 2009 1:13 AM
Price: $150.00 (AU$167.25) (Shipping costs included in offer) Total: $150.00 (AU$167.25) "

when in ebay it was:

"AU $133.29 + AU $49.99" = 183

it does also say "best offer"

its the same guy, so he can obviously do the same price regardless of which way we would buy. Both payments would be by paypal and covered.

It will only fit the SP20 here in AUS. The ES and DX over there are different again.

Ice88 · 13-08-2010, 04:40 PM

Yeah i realised. Shame

70NYD · 13-08-2010, 05:03 PM

the fibreglass one on ebay is 115 with postage (127AUD) vs the 134 that it is on iOffer
the carbon one on ebay is 165 with postage (182AUD) vs the 190 that is on iOffer
all in all same ****

you can haggle them down on ebay if your gona GB
for starters the price for shipping on ebay is 45 for the 1st item and 35 per item there off

wheeler33 · 13-08-2010, 05:34 PM

Spoke to Marc & he gave some advice that its obviously not up to Autoexe standard, but i'm thinking of giving it a go. Not too sure what i'd prefer more carbon fiber or the just coloured one. I like the CF but not sure...

mynameisdaniel · 13-08-2010, 05:41 PM

The fiberglass one you're looking at is the exact one I got, It fits alright, not perfect but no one's faulted it yet

there should be some pics in my worklog somewhere.

wheeler33 · 15-08-2010, 02:06 PM

Okay yeah i'm going to buy one next month, so i'll contact anyone who is interested then. if anyone is still interested please make note here.

Lachlan · 16-08-2010, 08:59 AM

let me know the price when you work it all out!

wheeler33 · 16-08-2010, 06:53 PM

Will do, i'm looking at next couple of weeks. I'l PM you & announce it here.

trent188 · 27-08-2010, 09:09 PM
