Attention lip whores... XENON never went away...

[masticatingcow]

I did some research and I found part numbers for zenki and chuki Xenon lips. I think these numbers are from Xenon. Not sure tho...

89-90: 51-5251

91-94: 51-5351

Those are Xenon numbers.

Also, while they DO offer a lip for the Zenki, it's not NEARLY as good as the Chuki lip. As you can see in the pictures, the Xenon lip looks a LOT like the factory one.

[masticatingcow]

Okay, look, here's the deal:

I called the sales rep at StreetBeatCustoms and asked him to call Xenon about the part. I told him that we were looking for part #5351 and that I wanted to make sure it would fit the Chuki 240sx. He did not know what a Chuki was, but I said that the parts guy would know.

He called me back a minute later and said, "91-94 240sx, right? Yeah, they can have about 15 units ready in a little less than two weeks." Just to be sure, I asked for Xenon's contact information and got a hold of JT, their sales guy. He told me the same thing. When I asked him about the rumors that these lips were no longer in production, he said there was no truth to that. They are made to order and they'll make them for us.

This is the list of in-guys so far. I put stars next to the folks I need e-mail addresses for.

[nwmrkt]

Im in! please! remember im in Canada masticatingcow if that matters.

And this is the lip right? The exact same one?zerothread?id=187595Thanks!

[masticatingcow]

Ok, nwmrkt, you're in. Being Canadian won't change that.

We're good to go on a GB as of a couple minutes ago. Here are the details:

Purchase price: $226.40 + S/H

StreetBeatCustoms wants to freight the entire order to a local address (probably me), so we'll divide up whatever that costs. Then I'd ask you to cover ground shipping to your door from mine.

I will see if I can't work out some better pricing for you guys from here. Everyone that's on the list will get a confirmation e-mail with the details, including payment date and expected shipping dates.

[nwmrkt]

Hate to ask this questions again...but I just want to make sure.This is the exact lip were buying right?zerothread?id=187595Thanks!

[masticatingcow]

Yep.

[94_240sx]

[Mister240]

Big thanks to cow for finding this rare lip or so they say.

[blackieblack]

[adrianfromthecastle]

[ArticDragon192]

I want in also. Is pick up available? My email is [email protected].

[AZhitman]

Brad - I am like 2 miles from SBC if that helps.

I'd rather not be involved unless it saves our folks a lot of $$$.

They really oughta dropship them.

p.s. Here's one for sale locally... http://www.az240sx.org/forums/...25433

[masticatingcow]

They really oughta dropship them.

I'll insist on it before orders get placed. With a growing list of 17 sales, I think they can accomodate.

[koukicody]

Mr. Cow, do you have a direct number/website for xenon? i asked earlier but you mighta skimmed over it.

[Fenvy]

I would be interested also if it is drop ship

[91rs13]

I'll insist on it before orders get placed. With a growing list of 17 sales, I think they can accomodate.

If they are not willing to drop ship individually ---I can act as an east coast drop point and send some out from here (as long as they are all individually boxed)---for whatever UPS/FEDEX/DHL/USPS charges for shipping.

Looking forward to hear from you Brad.

Thanks,Jose

[Mister240]

Ugh, I have some financial issues to sort out right now, so I guess I won't be able to get a lip at the moment.

[adrianfromthecastle]

well, i guess since everyones leaving their email addy's... heres [email protected]

[masticatingcow]

UPDATE: I wanted to quadruple check that we're getting the right part, and I LITERALLY have checked four times, with four different people.

#1 Sales rep at StreetBeatCustoms. Says they're the right part.

#2 Parts guy at Xenon's distribution arm. Says they're the right part.

#3 ANOTHER parts guy at Xenon. Say's they don't have a picture, but that they have the part.

#4 Parts guru at Xenon USA. I sent an e-mail with a picture of the lip. He's going to call me back with the definitive answer as to whether or not they have them.

In short, the reason I haven't been e-mailing you guys like mad to get the money and shipping addresses sorted out is that I don't want ANYONE to get boned on this. This is a big deal, and I think we all want it to go smoothly.

[masticatingcow]

Oh yeah, interesting fact...

If you put "Xenon lip" into Google... this thread is the first link.

UPDATE #2

We're not going to rush this. I'm in regular contact with all the sales reps - I have names and extentions for each, and we're figuring this out. The price is steady, and I'll be negotiating shipment. Let's project that the purchase will happen right around (perhaps right after) Labor Day. Get on board, all who dare enter!

I just got off the phone with Doc, the Xenon parts man. When he saw the picture I sent of the lip, he said, "I haven't seen that lip for years." He went through boxes of original 35mm shots for Xenon products and found one for 5351.

That picture is on it's way to my house. I should have it early next week. He described it like this: "It's a 1991 240sx coupe. White. I want you to tell me if this is close. Of course, you can't check for fitment, but if this looks like the part, give us a call and place your order through StreetBeat." He said nothing about a destroyed mold or it's unavailability. That means that if the picture is of our lip, we have the part.

Let's hope it's a match!
