Keep your eyes on the trading post, they quite often show up in there....

Other than that, im not sure. I guess just ring around at a few local spolier shops and see what they say. I know that Fibremaster in NSW does an aftermarket kit....

if you want a full kit, i strongly suggest you buy privately, unless you got money oozing out your arse!

i was quated from a few shops between 2500 and 3500 for NON genuine,, i ended up getting it for 1600 privately!

the one i got? was a copy, already been fitted to a car, so was VARELY easy to install myself :)

got it off these forums actually! from a guy in brisbane, who happen to know someone who was a truck driver between brissy & melb, how lucky is that!

good luck with yours!

i would say (from experiance) that copies are MUCH harder to fit than orig ones, makes it a bit easier if its been fitted to a car before.

would image it being a huge pain in the ass if you bought a copy from a fibreglasser aand tried to fit it yourself...

Yeah, a mate of mine bought an copy kit, brand new and it was a real pain to fit.... He had 2 do sooo much work to get it to fit properly it wasn't funny....

speaking of batmobiles, when we were looking to buy a car we test drove a 5ltr vl, 5spd with a full walky kit. and it was black.

didnt end up buying it. was $6000 i think. about 280,000kms on it.
