So it says there somewhere that it will cost $3,500? Sorry, i can't read Korean.

Anywho, if it is $3,500 then I guess that's a decent deal considering you get a whole front and rear bumper replacement along with a whole fender, sideskirt, spoiler and CF hood (assuming bonnet means hood). Plus the cost of paint and installation, it's going to be about $5k+. Good price or no?

actually it says the front bumper comes in 2 pieces and the promotion is for paint install of muffler tips and everything all included in the $3,500 price.

Yes. Bonnet means hood.

Really? Thats interesting, are there any prices for individual pieces since I don't think that promotion works here in the U.S.?

They're site says it's under construction but wrote it in a pretty way: We're getting ready for the site's opening/launch

I've never heard of them or seen any of their work or know anything about the tuner scene in korea besides the fact we only have one car that's sporty enough to tune. and that would be the Hyundai Tiburon. That's the only thing i've seen hooked up but I haven't dug around the scene long enough to know anything. I've only been to a race track outside of Dreamland or w/e it's called.

No individual pricing was posted on their promotion page. but since the site's under construction, we won't know.

Everything in korea has very competitive pricing unless you're buying a new car. then you're just getting ripped the **** off. or cell phones. god damn i'd kill myself if I had to buy and use a cell phone in korea . . .

ummm excuse me but that's exactly what the IS-F's quad pipes are too. 4 muffler tips that are part of your bumper. the IS-F's aren't even connected to the exhaust system. have you checked the exhaust tips of the LS460 either?

I think that looks nicer than the real IS-F Wish I could get those lights that go into the bumper reflectors.
