i think he's asking for a non-Mugen model that features the cleaner exterior found on the 04-05 JDM Integra/05-06 RSX

i don't think i've seen takata harness on models before, is this a first?

takata harnesses, as well as other brands (eg. sabelt) are available as a transkit.

The one on the left is the 02-04 model, see how the headlights dip down into the bumper? where as the one on the right is the 05-06 model where the headlights are flat across the bumper

There seems to be one on the page you posted: Here

But I can't read that, is it discontinued? and are these all around $300us?

how much did you pay for the spoon eg?

can't decide whether the premium for the version boxed under the spoon sports logo signed by Mr. Ichishima was worth it... did you see the EK?

You know when you buy too much from HK when I know where Swfk bought his models from just by the price tag.

You know, I got one of those MakeUp / Eidolon LB Works R35 GT-R's the other day... I have to say, not sure what the big deal is with them. Yah they look cool and have awesome paint jobs and the packaging is fantastic, but when you get one up close and personal... the details are pretty sorely lacking. The sticker brake discs really killed it for me. I can't really figure out why these are commanding the kind of prices they are! I think I'm just going to flip mine to be honest.

Are those the 1:18 scale Tarmac versions? Spoon one with the race gas fill where the license plate goes?

Any further info on the Mugen and Spoon DC2R models you posted earlier?

yes, these are from the tarmac release. and yes it has the race gas fill in the hatch.

i had ordered 4, including the spoon Gr. A. race livery version, but as you can see, dabox did not ship it and instead i had three boxes and one beat up outer box from a gt spirit to fill in the space for the missing car. i'm still waiting for a reply back.

i wish i had ordered the plain white one instead of yellow, but it was the first to be sold out.

i thought i posted the links for more info on the mugen and spoon dc2r's? or at least i think i did because i can see them on my end...

boost gear in japan where i'm hoping to buy it from said that the spoon version (the only one i was interested in) will be ready for sale sometime next month.

ignition model is coming out with one as well but it is still early in design stage...

Thanks for the info. Yes, you posted a link but I was having issues with a translator so I couldn't read anything :P.

I'm in a "shut up and take my money" state of mind for those DC2R's so I don't want to miss out on them.
