i got my connections in japan but i rather just someone else hassel with the importing fees and all....

It will cost $$$ and I don't see how fitment would be an issue.

yeah i know its pricey but i trust japanese FRP very good quality

thinkin that i may need the japanese bumper beam for it?

the lines on the s13 doors won t go with the front end of the hippo sleek bumper.....so i may want to get that filled....

is the hippo sleek rear, a full bumper or just a rear lip?

[SimpleS14]

umm....do you have a fastback?

What do you mean it doesn't go with the doors???????

Anyways its a full bumper replacement for the rear. Also...I don't think you need the JDM reinforcement. If anything...just hack your existing one with a circular saw.

ah....hmmm i still think i wanna fill it...

SIDESHOW did you ever order anything from these guys at raretrick? feedback?

[SimpleS14]

I forgot about Rare Trick.....

anywho...they are legit and have good customer service. You just have to remember that it might takes WEEKS (even months) for your order to arrive.

I've got a couple pics of the hippo sleek kits I found on the web. I don't now how to post pics so if someone wants to post 'em for me I can email them.

[SimpleS14]

uh...do you have the link to the pics?

You can always post that between [img] tags.

Note: the last [img] will be a closed tag...so use "/" in front of "img"

so i take it no one state side has this kit yet?

i love this kit cause its not too loud looking and simple.....gp sports isn't too bad but too much for my taste and do-luck damn thats too extreme, but they do make some nice support pieces

[offtheline]

Just because nobody who has read your post owns it, doesn't mean that no one stateside has it. Im sure somebody somewhere has it. Its a clean kit. Go for it.

i was looking at the same kit just using the frontend and piecing together the rear half with coupe parts... but i'm not a big fan of paying $600+ for something i'll probably end up smashing off the car

true true....i m not gonna be drifting like most people do with the 240...i really wanna auto-x it....so i just hope the impact on a cone wont take out the nice bumper....

yeah....but i m sure if some evenm heard of the hippo sleek kit they prolly heard it from here.....i heard of it a few years ago when i was lookng for parts for my subie....ever since i saw that kit its all i wanted for a 180

i will have it >=)
