Branew Aero
 

Wanted to share some pictures we found of the Branew kit. Unfortunately, the silver carbon version is expensive to say the least and I have a feeling the front bumper won't be most people's "style", but even with that the FRP version of the kit is pretty nice IMO and not too pricey. On top of that, no one that I've seen has this kit in the US which is a + in my book. It's hard to be unique these days.

Let me know what you guys think... let try not to talk too much about the bumper now.. :tiphat:

The rear diffuser I like.

I like the wheels but would look better on my G. :p

They got this kit in the works at Baker Tuning. I will post some pics when its on any painted.

+1

Ima have to say that front falls under the category of fugly. :icon14:

The lip kit looks good.

I like the Rump! I hope it's not too expensive lol.

The rear skirt goes for $890 for the FRP version. The carbon versions are over 3x that price so I won't mention those.

how much the front and sides shipped to Canada J8P7Y3 thanks.

That front end absolutely ruins the car.

I love Branew...but, I'm biting my tongue.

Roadster >>>>>>>>>> Coupe in those pics

im buying a roadster for 2012 :tup:

edit: do you guys know the reason why these kits are so f..k..g expensive?

Materials used, importing, etc.

is it same quality as oem? the lip n paint wont crack if i hit a speed bump?

Unless you hit something I have yet to see a JDM part have many issues once fitted, and paint is done on the user end so it is up to your painter.

would my celphone break if i dropped it from 10 meters?

:icon14: depends... on the lawn or concrete? :icon17:

with a kit that expensive trust me ill pay extra for a good body shop :tup:

edit: i love the front lip... but id have to wait 8-12 weeks :(

of course not. it's JDM quality.

wait, do you have an iphone? never mind then.

Love the vert kit!

Wow, the bumper looks horrendous but the lip kit looks nice.

Thanks for the help Dreamer!

Regarding the cost, the biggest factor that makes the price so much higher than it should be is the current ¥ to $ conversion. The value of our US Dollar is ridiculously low. If we were back in 2008, the lip would probably be more like $600-700. Since the core of the issue is the poor value of our currency, it affects everything we import from other countries; especially Japan since their ¥ is so strong right now.

They're feeling great about buying from the US though, that's for sure.

I did forget about that, I believe it was the beginning of this month a lot of Japanese companies redid their prices and for the US market is jumped up another 5-10%. :(

im telling you, ANA ran out of money to buy the 10 or watever dreamliners (which Boeing delayed) so they are messing with the currency exchange rate to make the planes more affordable. :D ;)

didn't you see the Japanese gov't actually stepped in and adjusted the yen to trying to improve international commerce recently? The Yen is really strong against the dollar right now, they're trying to dial it back. But now is not the best of times to get JDM stuff...

and ^ lol @ ANA. They should've just gone w/ the A380s, those things are monsters~ hahahaha

Sometimes there is a reason why a body kit is "one of a kind" :icon14:

ok so our exchange rate is bad enough that a stillen bumper would cost 47,000 yen but a the branew bumper would cost 178,000yen? (shipping not figured in either way and the stillen kit price is figure from the us amount times the current exchange rate and the branew amount is straight from the Japanese site) They're just nuts over there, that or their poly has gold flakes in it.

On a side note phelan it seems like you've been rockin the misaki avatar for over a month now tired of mixin it up lol?

The exchange rate is not the reason for ALL parts being expensive; it is just the greatest overall contributing factor and affects everything imported to the US. Some parts are just expensive regardless, like the Branew Carbon Aero which I was clear to state so there are no surprises.

like 50% markup by 370ztune. :D ;) jk

lol, we wish :rolleyes:

-Mike

man, i though 370z was a sports car, not VIP ride...

I like the second one. The first one reminds me of a couple 3 story buildings for some reason.
