and here's one thing I found.
If you go with Z1 and buy the whole "kit" -Ducts, Foam Core and Retainer - on the SHAVED bumper you'll spend $872+shipping.
If you go with Coz and buy the same whole "kit" with a SHAVED buper you'll spend $880 BEFORE and discounts + shipping. AFTER discount, the price ranges from $840-815+shipping.Basically it goes something like this shipped:
Z1
JDM Front w/ Basic Kit --$584
JDM Front w/ Full Kit --$781
JDM Shaved w/ Basic Kit --$774
JDM Shaved w/ Full Kit --$971 Coz (Range due to # of buyers)
JDM Front w/ Basic Kit --$592-$617
JDM Front w/ Full Kit --$777-$802
JDM Shaved w/ Basic Kit --$742-$767
JDM Shaved w/ Full Kit --$927-$952 You can see that with highest amount of buyers (11+) Coz offers the best bang for the buck. And if you plan on buying the JDM Shaved Full Kit as I do (might as well take the opportunity) Coz offers a significant savings compared to Z1. But then again if you simply want the JDM Front Basic Kit, Z1 offers the best price (I have a feeling most buyers would fall into this category?) The reason Coz pulls a little ahead on the price of their full kits is the fact they charge $120 for ducts when Z1 charges $150. However, this gap is narrowed by Z1 savings of $13 on shipping. So in a nutshell if we could get Z1 to bring down the price of their ducting to match Coz, they would most likely offer the largest average savings over list price. Also, it would be helpful if those interested could state what "package" they wanted. Then we could estimate which vendor to go with. As of now, there are 31 interested parties. **Disclaimer - Feel free to check my math, I made this post to take a break from studying and my brain is fried.
