Smile Probably Annoying Some of You by Now - 300ce mods

I have decided to forget about performance mods (for now), but have instead decided on exterior/appearance upgrades as many of you have suggested.

I want to:
  • remove headlamp wipers
  • install clear front indicators
  • tint windows slightly
  • install front spoiler
I have a lot of ideas for the front spoiler. Below is a spoiler I like. The problem is that the distributor at which I found the spoiler (Car Shine) is based in Australia. How much would such a spoiler cost to buy, paint and install, but more importantly, where the **** can I find it? I'm in Kansas, USA, and I don't know where do get/order this spoiler. I know many of you are enthusiasts from the states as well, so I'd like to know if anyone has a clue. Another question I have regards whether or not the fog lights are included. Thanks for the responses and patience; I'm new to these forums and cars in general (shameful, I know.)




Cheers,
Marcel

The fogs probably wouldn't come it.

As for the headlight wipers...make sure you fill in those holes right. I was wiping down my car the other day and stuck my finger right through the passenger side hole...great.

I heard you get clamp-in covers for the holes that fill them cleanly and are easy to remove. Is this true?

You can buy inserts for them without the holes. I have them on my car, but they are actually the baby blue color instead of the metallic grey...I need to get around to spraying them the same color as the car. Its not noticeable unless you look right at it.

Kansas, eh? how about you click your heels 3 times and return to the last mod thread you made instead of making new ones.... a lot easier for everyone (and you) to keep track of questions/answers/advice/etc...

yes, you can get filler panels for the wipers, do a search and you will find where other people got them and probably part numbers too.
for shipping/foglight questions about your bumper, why not just e-mail them and ask directly? sales@carshine.com.au

Thank you, and sorry, I should have continued my other mod thread. Thanks especially to ps2cho, now I have the part numbers, but how/where can I order them, and how much will they cost with shipping?

Thanks again,
Marcel

EDIT: Sorry, I searched and found the "Post Websites to Buy Parts Online" thread. Found what I was looking for there. How does $19.14 (each) including shipping sound?

Another Question: Shipping from AUS to USA is sure to be more than the cost of the part. The easiest way would be to buy one from here in America, but I don't know where to get it. A lot of you have kits/spoilers on your cars; where'd you all get them?

Thanks,
Marcel

for affordable anything, start with ebay, and also really use the search function on this site, you will find answers to everything. i used to spend 3 or 4 hours a night searching and reading old threads, you will get way more info that way, especially since a lot of people that had knowledge have moved on and won't post in your threads...

I saw a lorinser cab the other day on melrose and it almost looked like the front a 500e. Pretty cool car too if you have an updated hood.

one of our customers has a lorinser cab also that was originally owned
by ken griffey junior. He has the updated hood on it but the stock
86-93 headlights on it.
