i never know what i'm doing whenever it comes to wires or electricity (except for plugging in power leads for appliances and connecting PCs etc), so if there are any published guides or workshops out there that can help with the installation (in Melb) then yeah I'd be interested to get one fitted too...

Yeah, good one if we can get this going.
I was about to get one from him too. Good guy to deal with KMC, very helpful.
I've got a copy of the instructions if anybody is interested. A guy from FunkyProduct emailed it to me. Funky sells the KMC kickplates as well - among other things.
I'm sure we can get a group discount out of KMC if we can get it going. He's on a 2 week holiday at the moment though (from last Saturday).

Yeah, I thought about that as well.
Maybe give him a list of buyers, and once everyone pays (he accepts PayPal), we can get free freight or half price freight??
Freight is already 20 pounds. Kick plates themselves are 60.
Any other ideas? Or maybe he already has a method of taking care of group buys.

sh*t, why didn't i start this post a week ago??? anyway, i got my kickplates today, suprisingly it only took less than a week to arrive. Just thought everyone should know that the kickplate doesn't look exactly like whats on KMC's site.
the 'FTO' bit is written in white, and the rest of the box is blue, instead of black... doesn't look as nice during the day, but looks good at night. When you look really closely at the whole kickplate, the workmanship looks quite dodgey, but once you stick it down its unnoticeable.
Btw, i have alloy wheel stickers for sale from kmc, check out the 'parts for sale' section. I'm open to any offers.

FTOBOI, do you have pictures of the ones from KMC, illuminated and not illuminated?
I have the orignals from Mitsubishi, but it has been well used to say the least. So I don't mind replacing mine with some polished looking ones. Plus, I would like the one with red illumination. But if you reckon they don't look as good as in the pics, then maybe not.
If you got pics, that would be great. Then maybe we can all decide for ourselves! Thanks mate!

A group buy sounds awesome guys, i'm in no major hurry, so i'm prepared to wait for D-Trains contact to get back fro holidays. So how many people are interested and from how many different states. At my work i can courier stuff out for nothing so i don't mind recieving everything and then shipping out from melb. If we can get them down to maybe 45-50 pounds (bout $120), down from 65 ($158).

I'll post picks up soon... they aren't too tricky to install, its just the instructions are pretty crap. the diagram is hard to see and they don't label the parts, so for all those non electrical ppl out there who don't know what spade/pin connectors and inverters are, you might be confused... i just asked my friend what was what and from there on it all makes sense.
Don't get me wrong, they look really good at night, its just it would've been so much better if he just copied the original mitsubishi kickplate for the fto lightup bit.
