Default Aeroworks ISF CF splitter


hey guys,

i saw on some thread about these Aeroworks CF splitters, was wondering if anyone has ordered from this japanese website before.

http://www.aeroworkz.com/?pid=55055830

They look pretty good and cost 192000 yen. thats roughly $190 USD .

I can't read japanese of course but it would be nice if they shipped to North America.
Anyone get these before?

Or if it's sold here by retail any stores.
I think i saw J'zs or something selling it and it was like $400+ . but they said the fitment wasn't great. I assume the rep isn't as good.

thx!

JZ's is not a replica. No problem with fitment here.

If you look above the picture on the aeroworkz website it say CT. That's about all I can ready but probably as much as you need to know

I was curious about this too. Why is it cheaper on his website than it is on eBay. I like the splitter and was thinking about picking up a set.

JZs is basically reselling JDM stuff which is the reason for the markup. I didn't realize it was that much though!

Still, I had some correspondence with him asking for more info on one of their products. Very helpful and friendly I wouldn't hesitate to buy these from him if it isn't possible to order directly from aeroworkz.

Here is the ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-2009-2010-2011-2012-2013-LEXUS-IS-F-FRONT-BUMPER-CARBON-LIP-SPOILER-JDM-VIP-/271511962359?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f375fc2f7&vxp=mtr
I also think FraganciaF has them on his car for another example of how they should look.

^ thanks for the link.

Ya its marked up 100% . I found another link that may allow us to purchase from. however, the default shipping quote for all items to NA is $600

http://autostyle-usa.com/?pkey=parts...rd&limit_maker[]=AWZ&limit_car[]=1A12&set=0&page=1&max=10&maker_url=aeroworks

i've emailed them to ask about the shipping cost and what is the more accurate shipping estimate for two small pieces like this.

thanks again Sean.

Yeah, i found these on ebay about 3 years ago, but couldn't justify spending $470 for these small pieces of carbon fiber.

I wonder if it would be cheaper to do a group buy. Maybe save on shipping? id be interested.

The markup isn't simply just a profit markup. There's considerable costs to ship items from Japan from freight to import tariffs.

i'm sure there are some costs and its not a 100% profit. just saying, its marked up double which is true.

but don't forget we're getting charged shipping too. and also since he's an authorized dealer, he probably gets a discount and not buying at the retail price... so , meh

if i were him, i would mark up that much as well.
