If you want to order genuine FQ400 parts, then email either..

Indigo-GT in UK or Ross Sport in UK.

Thanks spikester! I'd like genuine, but I'm ok not paying the extra 150%+ genuine tax

Have you heard anything about the Jap Performance Parts guys by chance?

I've emailed them in the past and they respond pretty quick so hit them up if you have any questions. Just know that they make parts for RHD models so any interior piece may have fitment issues.

Thanks Hudson! I'm only looking at the front, rear bumpers and side skirts

I'm exchanging emails with them too but just want to verify the rumor that they get the body parts from the same supplier as RalliArt UK did for the 100 car FQ-400 run.

I didn't know jap performance parts were doing the FQ400 kits, so no, I haven't heard anything good or bad mate.

There are ways of dodging the tax you know? one way is... if you perhaps know an American soldier based in Germany or something they get free shipping and no import duty, so you could always get them to order it for you? I can buy the parts Tax Free from UK as I'm a brit soldier based in Germany I don't think I could dodge the import Tax shipping to the US though.
