In regards to being different tiger stripes have been done a few times so would'nt leopard print be a bit of a step in the right direction but as long as you like it thats all that REALLY matters. Mo's are cool!

Aaron,
Actually, I think you will find lots of owners who put on wheels that don't fit their cars .

errr.. why are you buying a tremec from the UK for?

Why not buy direct from the US when you have to pay extra buying an imported part? (and a damn heavy one at that - sorry Mike!)

Im sure you can get the box imported for around AUD $2100

Its a matter of the Tremec was imported to the UK and paid for in shipping and taxes, then its a matter of paying shipping and taxes again once it arrives in OZ. Then again I don't know how much Mike or Martin are charging.

If it was me and it it meant saving over a grand I would consider importing one seperately, but like I said, Im not sure what you're paying. In my own case, Ive chased parts from the USA, UK, France, Japan, Thailand, Germany and Lithuania (!) and have saved thousands in doing my homework. Then again, if you dont like chasing parts (which i particularly enjoy!), get it all from a one stop shop like Mike or Martin.

Just looking out for you mate.
