just looking at that pic.. why would you even consider them? that **** is digusting. you would think they would at least try to clean them up a bit before taking pics to promote themselves.... idiots
id never send any money for a clip to anyone outside the US because its way to easy to get screwed.

to add on, since most of you guyz are on the mainland it's cheapier to get the clips locally because to ship a front clip from taiwan is kinda exspensive unless you have a hook up also with flashoptions it helps if you speak japanese or chinese

They also don't own a compression checker...if that's any consolation, nor do they know how to perform a leakdown test.
It's also fishy that a company in Malaysia would sell a RB25DET front clip SHIPPED to the states for less than the majority of em cost in Japan...even on the normal JDM Used Market. As they say....you get what you pay for, and if you're paying below JDM Market for a clip including shipping from Malaysia...I'd be careful.
You have to look at it this way as well: They bring clips from Japan to Malaysia (costs money)...the buy engines in Japan (costs money)...then they pay for shipping to the US (advertised on their site...that also costs money)...yet they sell a lot of the time for under JDM Market Value? If you had a toothpick worth $50 in the US and could sell it to people for $45-$50 plus shipping in the US, would you accept an offer for $25 shipped to England?

take a second look at that picture you posted of the engine and think about it. it looks like it was beat on hard and not taken care of. flashoptions could at least clean it up some if they really want to sell it.
