Hey Doug, you've got to patient with this forum. Not all questions can be answered right away. Everyone will slowly give you their input.<P>Depending on what type of body kit your looking for you can try Boom Plus Toys in Van, they can get the Erebuni kit. I don't know of any perfromance shops carrying the FX Designs kit. You can only get the CS MS style front bumper and Mazdaspeed front bumper from Cork Sport in Portland, OR. Most performance shops won't do body work for you, they will only get the body kit painted and then install it for you. Your best bet is to buy the kit from the performance shop and take it to a body shop to get everything done at once. See if the body shop would do cash deals or not, especially with the independantly owned ones. There's so many shops out there, its hard to say but I've dealt with Starlite Autobody in BBY and recently with Dams Ford. I was in a fender bender about a month and a half ago. Cracked my front bumper and they re-fibre glassed it. The bodyman at Dams Ford did an awesome job. It looks brand new again, can't even tell that I was ever in an accident.

[Doug93MX3]

daddy is a jobless bum.... <P>does anyone know if there is a place in vancouver that can get me the gforce body kit?<P>or, if not, does anyone know where i can get the kit from? do you order it from gforce? im just curious cause its a pain calling gforce during the day for me because of the time difference... I have also read about problems with shipping on the group buy as well as people who buy direct from this company... any info??<p>[ May 28, 2002: Message edited by: Doug93MX3 ]

No idea man, you'll have to call the performance shops around town to see if they can get the g-force kit. Try Overseas Auto, Driver's Edge, Team Works, A2(I was told they either closed, changed names or something to that nature). I'll have to call one of our members to find out exactly what it was. Definately stay away from shops like AJ Racing, Rev or most of the shops in Richmond. They are geared more towards the Honda market and won't even give you the time of day. You should also try e-mailing g-force to see if they have a distributor/dealer out here if you can't get a hold of them by phone.<p>[ May 28, 2002: Message edited by: MX-West Car Club ]

tried phoneing gforce, long distance, didnt get through.. left a message, but i doubt they will return it long distance back.<P>I cant find an address for email on gforce's website though???

That sucks man. You'd figure if a company has a website, they should at least have e-mail as well.
