Pretty sweet products by Duell of Japan

So we all know about Duell ( http://translate.google.com/translat.../www.duell.jp/ ) Well I was looking on here and man I really like their body kits especially the double foglights. Also they have a CF trim around the front grill. Does anyone know if it is possible to order that stuff here in the States? That would be pretty sweet. I am considering of putting one of their body kits on if I can get it.

I'm really liking those LEDs they have now on the new Audi's.

BTW-I find it funny that I reply to most of the posts you're in.

I wonder if someone on here has ever dealt with a Japanese company before. There's another company that sells even more stuff like prepainted headlight housings (joey mod), body kits, and non-S engine parts.

I bet the import fees are pretty high if we can even get them.

However I bet someone could make a fortune if they could figure out a somewhat cheap way of getting them over, but even from them in $US it's looking like over $1300 for one of those front bumpers..a tad steep imo.

Very very steep, I converted wrong, I was thinking they were $130.

Anyone else notice the gauges were a different color at startup....

The numbers light up white, while the needes stay amber. Looks really nice....

Very nice parts, I'm curious to know how much it would actually cost.

A lot but if you want quality you gots to pay. I would save up and put something like this on my car but I would be ultra **** about it. I would have a super senitive alarm that would go off when someone came within 9ft of it. I would be afraid of tearing it off.

Interesting. The LED's are nice. With the smaller lights you could make one side a true CAI. or brake duct cooling.

They also have a sweet looking intake straight and about 5 to 6 inches long with what looks like a 5in cone filter. Right from the turbo. No bend and CF. There could be numbers in that on. You could expand on it and take it down in the front bumper making a true CAI. Their intercooler is no good though. Its a better flowing version of the stock one but the same size.

Anything from Japan is pricey and exclusive. Duell makes really good quality stuff as I was considering changing my aero kit to theirs.

Portos,

Sensitive alarms? Go to Moscow sometime and you'll find that if you get within 20 ft of some cars, the alarms go wild. At night, you hear alarms going off all the time. Appears to me that the alarms wouldn't be that affective.

I ship telescope parts to Japan. Shipping on something like a bumper is going to be incredibly expensive, or incredibly slow.

3D Ships parts fast. My 335i Rear Diffuser got to me within 2 weeks. However their parts are expensive. Front lip for the 335i ran $1300, rear diffuser was $2200

Not to keep people from stealing but more to keep someone from hitting it

Just for the front spoiler or is that the whole front bumper? Cause that is ridiculous. I want the carbon fiber cowl part where the wipers are.
