You have to get it from Australia. They ship all over the world so its no biggie for you, just the shipping cost is going to be a bit. I have been in their shop in Sydney and in my opinion, their kits are pretty shocking quality wise.

I'm at work at the moment, but I'll post their prices when I get home as I have an email lying around somewhere with them. I have no idea on the quality but the guy said I would have a full guarantee that the kit will be shipped to me in good condition - or else they send another one.
I think it looks good from the photos, but you would need to see it to be sure. |

Umm...man...if you want a kit, you have to go on your own likings. If he doesn't like them, oh well.

There is a thread in the Aussie section on celica.net about kits and they were talking about Carmate and its not just me that knows that there kits are dodgey.
bodykit thread Its not a question if I like the kit or not. That is a matter of opinion but on the subject of quality, most people that know a bit about glass etc can tell if the kit is bad quality or good quality. I actually like the front nose. Kamix, you can get the kit to fit well and make the quality a lot better by adding more glass, filling in pinholes, rubbing out ripples etc if you can find a good shop to prep it properly before spraying it. But that will cost time and money. Saying that, about 90% of the kits need prep work, the difference is how much and how good your installer is. |

Inferno ever heard of this word called trust?
 SiKBOY you are right of course, but I'm not sure if I would rather buy a dodgy rare kit that I like and fix it up (probably do it myself, I like dIY's), or go with a good quality 404 or veilside (which are really the only good kits available in Adelaide) and minus the fuss. I do really like it... will have to think about it! Would like to find better pictures of it on cars though. Too far for me to drive for a look
