I just wish you was closer to the USA.   :sosad

The prices are fair and the quality appears to be top notch, the shipping and exchange rates are what's hurting your USA sales on the large items. 

These are some of the cleanest OEM sized parts that I've seen.   ::thumbup

from a "Devils advocate" perspective, there are people even on the mainland that will show you pictures and claim they have what you want/need, doesnt mean they have it or can even provide it on the day.
some people are offering kits that dont seem to exist or they show other peoples parts or photoshopped images and refuse to show complete pictures and the ones that do show complete pictures are of someone else' car or a car that just gets used to get peoples money then on to the next victim.
i purchased some hinges from Lambocars, and other than a picture, i had no way of knowing what to expect, and yes it was a small price, but it is also a benchmark...
i found that he contacted me more than i did him over the course of shipment etc. and in the end i have to say the work was incredible. I would and will buy from him in the future without question.
surprisingly enough i find there are more wolves at the back door than in the forest.

Back to paying without seeing is your worst enemy.  If the purchase is overseas, are you willing to trust who you are paying without seeing the product loaded in the shipping container?  Better rethink that deal.  Add on a plane ticket to see the parts hands on.  If you choose to purchase here in the USA, take someone WHO KNOWS WHAT IS NEEDED to build the car that you want.  He can see what is missing and he will know a quality product that will please you when the paint goes on.  One deal gone south is one too many.  Risky business either way, my view point.

   Thanks guys and I will chime in and explain. I have a shop in Fort Worth, Texas and I call that home. I also have a shop and home in Atlanta, Georgia as well as Mexico City, Mexico. The shop in Texas is my fabrication shop for these cars and my Nascar stuff. The shop in Georgia is my fiberglass shop and where the bodies are made. The shop in Mexico is another race shop for the Nascar Corona Series, a Nascar Cup Series exclusive to Mexico. Any kit is FOB Atlanta but I am back and forth between there and Texas with the racecar hauler often so I might be able to get a kit as far as Texas for you. I am in Atlanta now and flying back to Texas this coming Wednesday, unfortunately the hauler is in Texas and going to Atlanta after the Texas Nascar race on April 13th.

Cool. Nice bonus for those of us doing an LP670. :)
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

So the total USD including shipping would be $9,872.34 at the current exchange rate. That is still not a bad option to consider. Does this price include an interior?

fiber is of the highest quality, you will not find any bubble.
The kit is molded from a original.incluye car dvd montage.
the price of shipping to usa by airmail ups of 3100 euros.
you can find something more economical if you wish.

I would love a Reventon, but the murci is a great model also... The most important thing to me is the craftsmanship of the kit (thickness of fiberglass used, dimensions as exact to the real thing as possible) and the price always helps too  ;)

So that is $5,561.88 USD. Not a bad price. Approximately what would shipping to the US be on this much product?

I believe the original poster is interested in a Reventon body.

Thanks for the quick response guys! So ordering a kit from extreme-sportscars.com would be a bad idea since they are overseas?
Extreme has a nice kit but shipping to the states would probably be a killer. Also, I don't think they have a Reventon. I think their only kit is a regular Murci.

Thanks BigPines, I'll contact 76mx... by chance do you know what state he is in?
He has locations in a few states. I think the one he may be shipping from is Texas. Hopefully, he will chime in here.

Texas is not too bad if that is where he really is... I would just fly over and have it shipped home.. Cheaper than the gas and truck/trailer rental I would have to get.
