I found this site: http://www.lancaster-honda.co.uk/civictypers/
And emailed them asking how much for the complete kit and shipping to the US. He says:
[b]Dear Mr Hill,

The price for the front and rear bumpers, front and rear skirts and side skirts, and decals with all clips and brackets.

What about shipping across the pond? Is that what the "carriage" is?

I assume so, since I told him I was in the US and was wanting the price shipped here in the US

those brits and their crazy words!!! no wonder we always end up bailing them out of wars j/k :p
That sounds like a good deal, I've been waiting for someone to do this in silver, so far no one in the states that I know of has, I wanna see it in blue too!!!
(the exaust on that type-r looks sweet)
Plus it comes with the decals!!! :p :p ;)

I was told that the silver on the UK type r's are off on color compared to the US ep's. Is that true?

What that extra $500 bucks buys you ,if Daniel did his homework (which he probably did (he's the Parts supervisor))is all the little hardware pieces and reinforcement bars that you WILL NOT get from Fizz,A-J's'etc.I can tell you there are a lot of them(e.g.$24 bumper spacers,$5 side skirt brkts,etc.).That $500 is a lotta nickel & dimes!



Good News for NON-Silver cars:You can save about $200 if you order the sideskirts stateside.The UK sideskirts cost about $200 more(Go figure??).

I don't know why the colors would be different, because I assume they paint our cars in England anyway. You would think they'd use the same paint for ours and england's cars.

LOL, I posted this in the wrong post. I met the other one so people would know why it's taking me so long.

But yeah, he usually is reliable...I've bought from him in the past...but damn, it can't take that long for airborne express to pick it up :confused:
