when you watch Miss HK, you notice the body first, so start on the body first,
if you're lucky with Miss HK then start your supercharger

I just noticed this, well, actually he allowed me to opt out, but I rather take the risk, that's all. I bought my headlights from Taiwan thru the same way too anyway.
I am more concerned about making a choice of doing either the body kit or the G-Power Supercharger right now...
This body kit is going to set me back around HK$18k BEFORE the installation and paint job by AK and "Wah Gor" (I am expecting at least $5k, ie. a total of ~HK$25k), would you take it? Or should I rather spend HK$50k for the G-Power BEFORE shipping and the installation by AK (I have no idea how much, AK?)?
Guys if I am telling you I am willing to spending either amount, but just not both, which one would you choose if you are me? I am right now a little more towards the body kit since it is much easier to resell it later then the supercharger, I think.

As far as I know, AK not willing to install supercharger although he well known how to make it.

you guys are evil!
of course i am waiting for some checks like
is it fireproof, fragile, absorb paint well, fitting- if it fails any of these points i won't get it,
the last thing i want is it to catch fire or crack and melt on the engine, its only frp.
looks like they are behind schedule, so i think i won't make the 28th.
anyway you guys can buy it as well.
they are also doing one like Derricks.
