Just paid Buyee the shipping cost
for my JDM Fit RS Mugen Rear Under Spoiler,
It cost me 37,792 yen or around $325.

Price above include Local Shipping Cost from the vendor to Buyee,
The Extra Protective Packaging,
The Shipping Insurance,
and The UPS shipping cost from Japan to US.
I can NOT use EMS because the package is too large, only UPS.

so basically the total cost of the JDM Fit RS Mugen Rear Under Spoiler is
$335 + $325 = $660
and I still have to paint them Taffeta White later since the bumper is in Pearl White..

Now I can't wait for it to arrive here

because the Height of the Mugen Rear Under Spoiler is less than HALF the height of the JDM Fit RS Rear Bumper
it is safe to assume that,
If you buy the JDM Fit RS Rear Bumper then it would cost around $500 +
could be almost $700 perhaps,... for UPS shipping just for the Bumper, not including the Mugen spoiler.

after all, you can not install this Mugen Rear Under Spoiler if you don't have the JDM Fit RS Rear Bumper in the first place.

Unless,
you buy a used Fit RS Rear Bumper that already have the Mugen Spoiler attached to it,... so you can shipped them both at the same time
like this one currently at Yahoo auctions

GE8 GE ?????? ?? ?? ??????? ???? YR585 - ????!

then you should be able to get everything (Used bumper and Used Mugen spoiler) including shipping at around $1,000 to $1,100

That's us all lol. A piece here and there, then something too good to pass comes up and then something else is purchased.

That's the life cycle of modifying cars, it never truly ends -- ever.

Nice pick up Waiz. Are the rotors the stock 262mm?

EDIT: Nevermind, just looked them up on Wilwood's webpage. And even at listed price are incredibly light on the wallet and cheaper than buying new stock calipers, NICE!!!

Domo! They are a direct replacement similar to the Spoon setup. Larger caliper and lighter weight than OEM calipers so they should compliment my setup well

Congrats, I'm about 300 miles in with those shocks and I am happy with them so far.

Love your seats, good work getting your armrest redone in suede.

Nice. I'm picking up a set myself, but with the BP-30 pads, and Motul 5.1 brake fluid.

I also made the material deposit, and scheduled the date to have my custom 4 point roll bar made, and welded.

These also came in the other day.
