I have no idea what i'm doing r32 gtst build from the midwest

Ah it's good to see that Streeter has a way to ship larger kits (just as long as you don't mind glassing the half's together).

Its like, I don't want to say you can't top this, because after all it was your build...

but holy fuck I don't know how you can top that lol. That thing was a camber switch-aroo to perfection. and thats being nit picky. That car was way rad. but, if you were able to put that together, I know the skyline is going to be just as cool! man a thread thats currently ongoing that im stoked for! subbed!

This will be an interesting build.

Cool man, I think thats the right choice. Street cars are the coolest on stock metal. and even if its not some dished 3 piece shit I know with you're taste you'll make it cool. Can't wait to see what you do with it

Thanks man! Im getting origin front fenders for sure because the gts fenders suck.

Also for wheels if I find em on yaj advan rg ( original ) origin drf s7 or grenade gx01

This was my fav stage, definitely looking towards what's next.

Probably cuts shipping down by half! pun not intended.

When I ordered mine I was told that the side skirts were too long to ship by sea but would fit on an airplane ( :tweak: go figure). The problem was that they took up so much volume if they were in one piece and would make the shipping costs astronomical.

So by doing a bit of fiberglass work one is able to save a small fortune on shipping.

Just to clarify if the aero was not cut in half shipping alone was just 1300. Shipping it cut in half was 400 just for shipping so that's more than half off. I know how to fiberglass so I opted to glass it my self.

i saw this parked at sprint the other week

I also had a bumper shipped in halves from Jesse and I'm not too worried about getting it glasses together myself, but feel free to post some pics on your process :D

anyway, build looks promising - subscribed.

PS duce is so rad! I wanted to run BN but it looks like almost every r32 out there runs BN.

Hahaha. 'Kid.' I can't prove anything anymore so I'll lay off.

Try to keep your nose clean, kid.

Damn so cuting body kids in half takes off 1/3 off of shipping lol

were these used or new parts? Even with the shipping savings i couldn't do this to my kits.

When i ordered parts I shared a contanier with someone so i imagine this is why I didn't have to go thru this

Brand spanking new from PS DUCE I mean yeah I would the old fashioned way ship it through ha container bla bla bla.... But I know how to fiberglass I'm just lazy haha. The whole glassing process took me a good day. Its not even that bad I paid $850 for the kit all said and done and took 3 days.

850 for front and sides only? Sounds about right for real deal jdm kits.

Luckily being the ship comes into california ports and I'm in california I don't have to deal with any other additional shipping.

850 for a whole kit? how so cheap?

Most jdm kits are 500 each for front, sides, rear, front fenders rear fenders etc.
