Have you seen or heard about the AAC Bumper Brackets? Have you seen the great improvement they make to the look of your BJ Protege / Astina front bumper that has started to sag or has broken headlight clips?

Have you thought "That would be nice but ...
- I don't want to deal with overseas shipping
- Shipping one set from the US is so expensive
- I don't have PayPal."

Well, Noah (AAC) and I have done a little deal and I can supply you with AAC Bumper Brackets. Kit includes all brackets, hardware, detailed photo install guide, and limited AAC vinyl window decals.

!NO BRACKETS CURRENTLY IN STOCK!

Guys, I currently don't have any bracket sets in stock. The last lot took a while to sell so I'm not keen to get a whole new batch in at the moment. I will probably look at doing a small order in the future once there is a bit more interest in the brackets.

In the meantime, perhaps there are other AAC products that you might be interested in (see below). If so, post up in this thread or PM me and I will see what can be done :)

Very nice, where and when do we order?

Very nice, where and when do we order?

I will be getting an 'Aggresive Auto Culture' (AAC) email address sometime this week. This will give everyone direct contact with me and will also be something that Noah will be able to monitor as well.

A bit more information about this batch of brackets. Noah is out of the States at the moment and will be back on Wednesday. He has a box of brackets with my name on it, which he will be sending out immediately. I am hopeful that they will arrive in Brisbane before Xmas, but I cannot guarantee this.

If they arrive before Xmas, then I will be able to send them out on the Tuesday (27th December) and I imagine that they would arrive at people's doorsteps in the first week of the New Year. I might be able to arrange something with local (South-East Queensland) members over the Xmas / New Year break.

To order, just post in this thread or contact me via PM. Payment will be via bank transfer and I will supply details via PM.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,
Darryl.

Yeah, let me know if you have paid Noah yet (either by posting here or by PM).

I will add a list to the first post to keep track of who has ordered, paid, and when each set of brackets has been sent. This will keep everyone in the loop with the status of their order.

Well, that detail has not yet been finalised. The only other product AAC has available at the moment is the rear lateral link kit:
http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123804609-AAC-Protege-Track-Series-Adjustable-Rear-Link-Kit

But of course, Noah is developing adjustable endlinks:
http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123796462-GI-AAC-Protege-Adjustable-SwayBar-Endlinks

And Willwood brake kits for the BJ platform:
http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123807170-AAC-Protege-Brake-Kits

Probably the best I can do at the moment is to suggest that you PM me with what you are interested in. If there is a reasonable amount of interest in these other items then I might be able start a thread to deal with that.

Cheers,
Darryl.

If you mean the lateral link kit, then PM me please.

I'm not sure of the compatibility with the BJ-I (SR2) style bumpers :confused:

I'll direct Dan to this post and see if he has any insight into whether they will fit.

Otherwise you might just have to be a guinea pig ;)

EDIT: you could go through the installation guide and see if the bumper holes and mounting points look similar.

Good news!!! :D

The brackets have landed in Australia and I expect to be able to pick them up in Brisbane sometime next week.

That means that I should be able to post brackets out to those that have paid by next Friday. This all depends on what happens next week but I will keep updating this thread as this progress.

Nope. They are in Sydney waiting to clear customs. They will be in Brisbane next week and I will send them on from there. Still probably a bit more than a week before anyone gets their brackets.

I will update the first post as individual sets of brackets are sent out ;)

I know that the previous GB had stickers in them.

When this latest set of brackets arrived the postal envelopes were already sealed, so I wasn't able to check whether they had stickers or not.

I will talk to Noah and find out whats going on with the stickers. I might be able to get some extra ones in the next batch of brackets.

Orion
16-01-2012, 11:22 AM
Ok, got some info from Noah about the stickers

Those faf stickers are only part of the link kit. I did send some with the previous AUS bumper bracket order but that was a one off. I can most certainly toss a few in the mail.

they'll also be up for sale on the soon to launch aac website.

I'll see what I can work out with Noah for getting a batch of them in a future order. But that will depend on fast the remaining brackets get sold.

Speaking of which, can any of the Sydney guys that have contact with familiagtx outside the forum please let him know that his brackets are in hand and I am just waiting for payment before I send them out. He might still be on holidays as he hasn't posted since before Xmas :p

Well, I have sent Pete an email and still no response. So after several PM's, an email and two months of waiting I will have to take his name off the list.

So, that means that there are only two (2) sets of brackets available at the moment. Get them while they're are still here, as it will be a little while before I will have stock again.

Thats an interesting question :rolleyes:

The previous lot went for $60. I will not be able to offer that price again and the price of the next set will depend on how many I get and what I can work out with Noah. I would guess that they would be $80 shipped in the future.

If your luck you might be able to nab a set from either Kris (Ice88) if his car is a write-off and he no longer needs his or possibly from Rhys if we discover that the brackets won't fit the BJ-I models.

Thats an interesting question :rolleyes:

The previous lot went for $60. I will not be able to offer that price again and the price of the next set will depend on how many I get and what I can work out with Noah. I would guess that they would be $80 shipped in the future.

If your luck you might be able to nab a set from either Kris (Ice88) if his car is a write-off and he no longer needs his or possibly from Rhys if we discover that the brackets won't fit the BJ-I models.

Cheers.


NOPE!!! They do not fit on a BJ1!

Aahhhh, well there you go :rolleyes:
It probably answers that Ford Laser (incl SR2) question as well.

Rhys, hit me on PM on how you want to arrange the refund and return the brackets.

Cheers all :)

Rhys
11-03-2012, 10:16 AM
Cheers Orion. Yeah the BJ1's only have the 1 bolt holding them on at the back whereas the BJ2's have the two (hence the brackets have two holes)

Oh well at least I got to Clean the dirt from under there ;)

Don't forget that Ice88 has a set too ;)

Friday is not vey doable for me as I have to head up to Tbar early on Saturday morning.

Rhys if you want to leave them in Auchenflower thats fine, and I can pick them up either on my way home on Sunday this weekend or when I swing by to collect the wipers and my front swaybar ;)

Unfortunately Fri is my best mates bday so I'm gonna have to just say a quick hello, get my goodies and then dash.

If people are after a set of brackets i have an unused set as my car got written off before i could install them :(

I'm sorry, I originally had planned it for Saturday but Friday is a possibility. Everyone seems too busy. Saturday night would be better as i don't work Sunday mornings... Let me know I'm assuming you'll be in toowoomba sat night?

Hey man, im pretty sure nearly all the BJ owners now have a set. But ice88 had a set un-used. Not sure if he's keeping them for a future mazda though. perhaps PM him

No group buys for these any more.
I have one set left and its $60 shipped. I am not allowed to sell them any cheaper than that.

Yeah, you could ask Ice88.
Not sure what he is doing with his but I think his were $60 plus shipping costs.

Let me know what you would like to do :)

Orion
24-04-2012, 11:09 AM
Last set shipped out today! :D

I don't think I will be getting another shipment of these any time soon as the demand for them has just about been exhausted. That I don't have spare cash to throw around just to have stock sitting on a shelf - I would prefer to buy parts for my engine :p

If you want a set of these let me know, but unless its urgent you will probably be placed on a waiting list until there is enough demand to get another batch in.

Otherwise if anyone is interested in some of the other AAC products that are coming to the market, let me know as well. Shipping is always going to be cheaper where items can be packaged together ;)

I haven't got a shipping quote from Noah, but I have taken a guess at it and I should be able to do these for $70 shipped.

Perhaps you should start your own thread about borrowing brackets ...

You probably could make something that would do the job but you will most likely spend much more than these are to purchase or end up with something of lesser quality.

Wish I could help you out this time but the last couple of GBs have had a couple of brackets that sat around for a month or so. With a wedding to pay for, I cant justify sinking cash into another GB with only one person interested. If you can drum up two more people who will send money immediately, then I will get the ball rolling on another five brackets.

Bumping this up.

I have had a couple of inquiries about brackets recently. With a few new SP20 owners joining the forum in the last few months perhaps there is enough interest to get another batch into the country. I would need at least 4 people to place an order.

All the details are on the first page and please read through the thread before asking questions as most of the answers are there.

Cheers, Darryl :)

You could always use a freight forwarder to get cheaper shipping.

It'll still be a bit more expensive than doing a GB but you'll get them quicker.

These fit into an A5 padded envelope - I doubt a freight forwarded would bother with them at all.

USPS is the other option for those who want to contact Noah directly - you will get them a bit quicker but it will cost an extra $10-$15.

If I get 4 people, then the ball starts rolling straight away ;)

Ok, now I'm fairly sure that Bec has already gotten hers.

So, that leaves the following people wanting brackets:
- kusuma18
- Rafferty
- BG1.8sp
- wheeler33

If you guys can confirm that you definitely want these and can send through money by Friday then I can do this.

Please be warned that I am heading overseas in 6 weeks for 3 weeks. Therefore, any delays by anyone in confirming that they want these brackets may mean that I pull the plug on the whole lot. I just dont have the time to go chasing after people at the moment.

Just incase people want to know... These brackets can be ordered direct from AAC and they will set you back $100 exactly posted to you.

So just because no GB... Doesn't mean you can't get them. ... Just means it costs more

Sorry dude, Raff and I already ordered ours direct.

Best option would be to find 2 other people in brissy that want them, then order from AAC and get them all shipped to the one address.
Would save you a few $$ ... But won't be the GB price (obviously)

Orion
03-03-2013, 08:34 AM
Hmm, I'd be interested to see if the shipping cost stays at $12 as it might be just the generic cost for postage to the US only. International shipping may turn out to be more.

Keep us posted on this. If that is the final price, then that is a pretty good deal.

ninja-chris
03-03-2013, 08:47 AM
