Where to find best price on AutoExe grill and lip?!

[LazerBlueP5]

The only place I found that sold the AutoExe grill and lip spoiler for the P5 was at Boom Plus Toys for the following prices:

Front Lip Spoiler for Protege 5
$448USD/$672CDN


Front Grille for Protege 5
$299USD/$448.50CDN

Now is it me or do these prices seem exorbitant?! I bought my whole urothane 4 peice kit from Wings West for my Tiburon for under $500...and there asking close to that just for a front spoiler?!! Ouch!
Any help here- where can I find it cheaper?

talk to rishie, but you've got to remember, your buying parts from japan, the real thing JDM stuff, so its going to be alittle more expensive than an american made body kit. but you pay for the quality you get.

I'm sorry I'm still a bit of a newb. Who is Rishie? I mean, I've seen him post and all but who is he, who does he work for? What's his email address?

has it for $450. same as rishie but you might save on shipping and might not. In any case you won't have to pay customs duty since rishie is in canada.

DGM is cheaper than autoexe isnt it?

and materials is the only difference between the two right?

what makes autoexe materials worth charging more for? i kknow this has been discussed to death but i can never remember....

is it that autoexe is urethane which is less liekly to break and easier to repair? as opposed to the CF and fiber versions DG offers?

Uh, last time I checked Carbon Fiber was a pretty strong material. Stronger than Urethane depending on how the Carbon Fiber is made of course. Not all Carbon Fiber is created equal.

Fiberglass - Is the easiest to paint and will look the best. However, it will chip and may even crack. Being a front lip, I'd stay away from it.

Carbon Fiber - Definitly stronger than fiberglass and it can be painted. However, it will shatter when it breaks requiring you to replace the whole piece.

Urethane - Hard to paint but the most durable.

fiberglass is repairable though......right???
