what do you want to order from them? remember, you are going to get killed on overseas shipping. i would look around a bit and see if you can get what you want in the states.

and please tell me you are not interested in any of those bodykits they have on their site. those are awful.

Those body kits are lame. Why doesn't anyone make a good looking wide body kit for the rear that isn't too wide?

yea the body kits are awful..but they do have the H.I.D kit pretty cheap its 75 bucks...im not sure yet how much shipping will add to it...and they also have these really really nice 19 inch rims with a deep dish in the back for 620 bucks and they add another 650 if i want it with tires(low profile tires, which are expensive here in the states) so about 1300 bucks + shipping... do you think its worth it?

Those aren't bucks those are pounds. 75 pounds is about 150 dollars.

i'll never understand

BRITISH aftermarket body styling, its hideous!

You can get decent HID conversion on ebay believe it or not about 54$ and 15$ to ship.

Those wheels look pretty nice but you can get them domestic under a different name.

here's the problem with Vortex R wheels:

you have that Smart 4 Cars kit right? how's that holding up? it's like half the price you paid now. and have you noticed the pics of your car are up as advertisement?

If that takes 15 minutes to install, I'd be quite impressed.

actually, HID is a fairly simple install on the z32. 15 minutes is pretty accurate if you get a kit that is modified to plug right to the stock harness (most are). then mount the ballasts and pop in the bulbs, and you are done. the stock projector setup of the z32 makes the swap simple.

Nice! :footinmouth: Now you can add "install HID kit" to my list of mods to do, especially if there's no major overhauling involved! I've heard horror stories about people adding HIDs to non-HID-ready cars. I really want the HIDs on my ride, as they are pretty awesome. The TL has them and I love the color output; yellow is so BLAH!

What's a good price range to look in when pricing the kits? I mean obviously you'll get what you pay for to an extent, so I don't want any cheapos. Also, what kind of brands are decent? Oh yeah and is this a reversible mod? Not that I personally would want to reverse it, but just in case...ya know.

i dont really know much about what good brands are, or prices. but personally, i would look for something german built (phillips electronics) over the chinese stuff. and unless you drill holes to mount the ballasts, it is 100% totally reversible, as long as you get a plug n play kit.
