That's true. It does take a lot more time to make it from scratch. People don't even want to pay $3700 for replica. How many original one do you think they can sell here? At least they made one sale because I bought it. If you think I am taking away their business, you shoulld ask yourself if you are willing to pay $6500-8500 for a set of bodykit. If the answer is no, then you should realize I am not taking away their business at all. I like RE Amemiya. I have bought about $20,000 worth of stuff from them already. I would like to just sell their products without making copies but no one wants to pay the price they are asking for. Besides that, they don't really keep their stuff in stock. Ask Dragon FD3S how long he has waited for his AD Hood9. I ordered mine back in September and it's not done yet. Hopefully it will be done along with the 2002 GT widebody. The availability, the price, and the waiting time just make it extremely hard to sell original parts. I am more than willing to sell you the original parts if you are willing to pay. I do have a few customers that only wants original parts but it's like 1 out of 100. If I just depend on those few customers who only wants original parts, I am sorry to say that I will starve to death. I don't know how much sales JT Imports has but I don't think he can just do this full time to support himself. Want to share with us, Jaosn?

remember JT is in japan...... hours are all weird. i'm sure he will reply that he doesn't sell too many ORIGINAL parts. i know i would not pay $2000+ for a front bumper....... lol

JT-Imports

To tell the truth, I have only sold one bumper....



I dont feel bad about it either, almost every single FD I have seen in the states, with

exception of a few, have had STOCK bumpers still. We even thought of stopping selling

bumpers, and just stick with, spoilers, lights, accesories, strut tower bars, engine torque

dampners, you know the small stuff..



BUT since I have started may I have probably sold $12,000 worth of RE and double that

from FEED. Could I live off my business? I already do. I dont even touch my normal job

money anymore, I just live with my small bills off what I make importing to the US.



So answer your question, all I do is sell ORIGINAL parts, nothing but. I do get some requests

for fake/replica/copies, but I do send them to Rotary Extreme, since Chucks place is the only

one I know of sells those.



Thats why I will starting more, more, and more GBs. Soon I will have a contact in the US, that

way I will be able to ship in bulk, and prices will be BUTT LOADS cheaper then they are now.



I LEARNED BIG TIME, PRICES ARENT THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS...........

I do fiberglass myself and wouldnt put the time nor money into making a front bumper, I know no one will buy one. Any body parts for that manner.

I talked to RE about the AD9 hoods, and he say they can only put out 15 a month and depending on what time during the month you order, that will depend on when you get your hood. They did run into a small problem, but I was told its fixed, but still the 15 hoods a month rule still applies..



Just good info from your Friendly JT-Imports owner
