I love that shop....
next time I am over there will really need to sneak in.

I don't think any of their work would be cheap (obviously) but it always seems to be right on.

Unfortunately, the blog does not say much in the way of figures/fun comments, mainly just like a diary of what going on. Should get a copy of the magazine....

Are those air ducts in the front guards standard in Japan or customized do you think ?

You would think that, but No.
I've seen a couple of photos over the year & many reports that they're work, while nice on the outside, is as rough as guts underneath the paint & the underbody's as well.

Although....to be fair Lurch...I am not interested in the body work that they do.
The most interesting work they seem to do is the mechanical....which at least according to Japanese Magazines (haven't met/spoken to any customers) is good.

Interestingly enough I am looking to go down this path of using as many CF parts as I can for my Z.
It would be painted though to look like any other 2 seater but underneath the paint hides an anorexic beast that has just went to jenny craig.

Benzed has a good collection of carbon parts for the zed. I remember doing a quick add up for all the carbon parts for the zed like doors, hatch and guards etc and it came to about $9500. Considering rust repairs/panel work it might be cheaper to buy the carbon than do the bodywork! The only carbon I have on my zed for now is on the spark plugs!

I can't see CF being a great long term replacement since it has no endurance limit like steel alloys.  ???
