Default 3IS conversion Esprit replica from China

Found this video on youtube and decided to reach out for more info,

https://youtu.be/43GQW8XgeTY

http://www.car-act.com





Price: "The bumper is 880USD but the shipping cost to US is not cheap if you don't have a forwarder.
The shipping cost by our forwarder is 550USD, together is 1430USD."

Time frame: approx 45 days

also it appears their site using images from the actual Esprit but they said the lower lip as shown on IG is not included

"sorry it doesn't have the lower lip, includes front bumper, grille, led daylight, car logo"

I've always loved this front. Just not the same with out the lip though. And 1450 isn't t bad at all since it has the grill and all the other goodies. They also make a rep V-vision kit too I think.

That looks fantastic.

The 3IS bar suits the gen 2 more than it does the 3.

$1450 US?... nah.

That means it would be $2k AUD

I believe this is the average price for this type of bumper.
The price is comparable to the NIA bumper which is fiberglass and $1550, not including shipping.

Hello,

Me was told from car-act.com (Peter)
It cost 599 USD inkl. Grill, LEDs and Emblem.

Than 500 more only shipping fee and those are so high because of the anti dumping police of china (wtf).
The ADP has nothing to do with this and i find if the seller act that way ... I dont know to Trust them.

Also the Lexus Emblem will send via Express not togehter with the bumper. Why? Because Pirate Policy of Lexus.


I think i will buy it but only over PayPal or likewise with buyer protectIon.

Yes we have eBay, but i dont know if the seller sell in eBay also.

AliExpress or Alibaba should be enough so long it is with buyer protection.

If you see that bumper in ebay , it comes from them. Many companies will rebrand it as their own but the manufacturer will remain the same.
