I'm looking forward to having this kit on my wife's GX. We bought it on 6/3 through Jegs and the expected ship date was 6/18 (shipping direct from Eibach) but so far the item has not even shipped yet. Hopefully it ships soon because we are about to go on a cross country trip in early August.

Any chance you'd eventually release a "blank" grill without the large lettering?

Hello, I've bought an engine from an importer in Canada before (Japan Domestic Motor in Quebec). It was an overall easy process, I paid for it over the phone and they actually handled the freight on their end. I paid $3500 shipped for a complete 2005 Subaru WRX STi swap with ~51k miles. It...

Good Evening, real new member here. My name is Duane, and we own a 2004 Lexus GX. We bought it last year from a dealership in Scottsdale, AZ for a great price ($8900, 102k miles, single owner). We also own a STI-swapped Subaru wagon, I didn't like the STi engines we were offered in the US so I...
