Hey everyone, I am starting to really make some progress on my Tamiya '99 Celica... And I have decided I want to put a GT style wing on it. I know that there are the SAS wings, and the Aoshima wings, but i dont know which one to get. The only issue with me is that I think the Aoshima wings are cheaper with the shitty Canadian dollar.
Could someone please let me know what the big difference between the two are, and post pictures of both if possible.
thanks

i''m looking for the same... but the Aoshima and the SAS are the same price even in Canadian (ok maybe 0.50$ difference)
I think I will order SAS one cos you can make 4 and aoshima only 3

I just looked into it... and including shipping, the SAS wings would be like 16/17$ ... and the Aoshima would be like 9/10 without shipping, So im guessing they would end up about the same price in the end... So now i just want to see pics of both
if anyone has them please post them

Aoshima Wings are 12$Can on HLJ... with shipping it will be the same
anyway, i'm not sure, but I think Aoshima are made of plastic while SAS one are Metal and resin.. so more quality....

Paypal is an online payment system as used by Ebay etc. You can send cash in post if you want.

I have the plastic aoshima wings they are not that bad but they lok bulky on a car.. Im waiting for a order of the sas wings now and ill let ya know how those are from the stand point of a newbie to p.e. stuff and looks.. But from what ive seen the sas wings are the better choice.. As for price be careful with paypal.. on the sas site the converter said the us dollar was close to the euro dollar but on paypla for my order of 30 odd bucks i had to pay 46.00 us.. paypal list it as 1.00us=.60euro it sucks..
:bandit: but to answer your question get the sas wings.. that way you can order some killer body kits at the same time...lol....:bandit: Later Rick S

I start to think it's UK Pound and not Euro.. that make a big difference if it it..... 19£ would cost 46$Can insted of 30$Can... that hurt

As the people of Great Britain are so reluctant to give up their beloved £, that's why all my prices are in £££'s not Euro's;)

Not sure about the Ultimate Celica, haven't worked on it for a while, i'm not sure it will be very popular.

23$Can with shipping... Twice the price of Aoshima, but quality look better
€ and £ is very confuse :rolleyes:

Hm, where'd you get 11.5 Can Aoshima wings? They're listed for retail at HLJ for about ~$10 US
Vric
01-22-2003, 03:29 PM
8$US = 12$Can
Price on HLJ
but still, I'm not sure I like the all plastic of Aoshima.. Will go with SAS
Aoshima: 4$Can each
SAS: 5$Can each... so it's close
I just need to find some money.. I just made an order of 105$ today :rolleyes:
