 here we go again.
the pics above are of a levin from crystal body in yokohama,and only one part of the bodykit is avilable in Australia,though I wouldn't recommend you buy from them anyway,as their glassing skills are on par with those of a 10yr old.
the wing is a TRD group A copy. these are readily available in JAPAN,for about $300.
the flares are specials from crystal body,and would cost you at least a grand by the time they arrived in Australia,unpainted, and then there's fitting on top.
the front bumper is also a custom part,based on the factory series 2 levin bumper. it is NOT an N2 bumper.
bumpers in this style are again readily available in JAPAN,and cost around $600,unpainted,not fitted,and not delivered to australia.
the side skirts are crystal body specials. no idea on price for these. on average,side skirts for sprinters are around $350 a pair in JAPAN.
none available in Australia.
a full bodykit will cost you roughly 2 grand to buy in japan,and you then need to ship it over,pay duties,and then pay someone to paint and fit it for you. you'll be up for about $3500 by the time it's on the car. still keen on it?
the tail lights are series 2 levin,and again,are not generally available in Australia. I know of two sets in Sydney. one on a purple car,and the other set are on the back of mine.
good luck with the search.

Sir ae86:
Watanabes in that size would be close to a grand per wheel.
Satoshi: it's BECAUSE the car is the age it is that the parts are expensive. it's not a GLi lancer,where you can get an evo knockoff kit from anyone who can buy fibreglass resin.
they're an old car that have remained fairly popular,but they're hardly a major player in the market. this makes parts both expensive,and somewhat difficult to come by.
sprinter parts are expensive. either get used to that,or go buy a civic.
as for the tail lights,you need to find a pair before you worry about price. if you know someone in japan you have half a chance,but don't expect miracles. the pair of lights and the centre granish would set you back at least $400,IF you find a pair.
Classique71: they don't match the lines? get your prescription checked mate. if you can't see the pieces that fill in the groove in the bodywork,I'll refer you to the guy that made up my glasses.

the last photo from the back - looks like the rear guard extensions dont match the car just above the black paint - Maybe its an optical illusion ..
in the second picture of the close up i can see white at the back - where it also liks like it doesnt match up with the bumper ..
I guess i need glasses then ..

okiez...so to get a left or right side panel for the sprinter would be expensive?
seems like a 50% good buy and the other 50% is a disadvantage..

I should be having another set arrive soon but am still considering whether to sell them at this stage - most likely will but I'll be hanging onto the centre piece myself at this rate. 
They are certainly getting harder to source these days however I find that front headlights / side indicators are even harder to find in yards as most ppl tend to crash their Sprinters headfirst then at the rear.

someones a little touchy today justin
satoshi, basically mate same as whats been said
you can get the rear wing from nikki streeter on the gc
justin doesnt think much of this apparently
maybe its somebody else he speaks of
but ive heard nothing but good things about their products
as for the lights, they are kouki levin "whiteline" tailights
you can get em on ebay sometimes
usually go for 200-300 USD and then theres shipping aswell, probably another 100USD
so yes they are expensive but worth it when you get em i think
there are a lot on yahoo japan auctions, but you need to know people in japan to buy it and then send it to you, also quite expensive, but then again if you own an ae86 of any kind, you will know they are expensive to own + run
hope that helps
have a good one

Classique71: picky picky... it doesn't matter though. no one local will ever come remotely close to that kit,so it's a moot point.
Daryl: if you get another set of the s2 levin lights in,let me know. I'll work something out with you for just the lights if you want the centre garnish. I'd like a spare pair of lights for my rear end. with the luck I've had lately,the minute I sell my spare set of std lights,some prick will rear end me.
ae86drift: you pretty much got my drift. they have very good service (especially if you're in queensland),but I was less than impressed with the finish and overall quality of the splitters I bought. I was embarrassed to hand the splitter I purchased over to a mate at work for his sprinter,it was so rough if I'd made it,I'd be ashamed to charge money for it.
I sold the one I bought for myself to a mate. I have no intention of putting something that rough on one of my cars. I'd rather not have one at all.
next time I'll go the extra hundred bucks and will get one over from japan.

If you want to get any parts from Japan or even prices then get in contact with SUPRAMAN. He is a good friend of mine and is also an importer of parts from Japan so contact him.

Personally I think a bodykit on most AE86s is a bit over the top and makes not real contribution. And for the prices listed by Justin I would have to have to be very bored or very rich to warrant the cost.
Look how sweet this thing is:
Of course that is just my opinion

I agree with you fergo308, they only have very good service if you're in queensland (maybe), as not long ago I bought the front splitter & spoiler from the queenland couple and I was also less than impress with the final product, it was rough, damaged and very thin, too thin may i add. I had to sell it for half of the price i paid for it  b/c there was no way I was to put that on my sprinter. End up buying another set of splitter & spoiler for .T. aka Toby from this forum, good quality!
But yeah, maybe they have good service for only ppl up in queensland.

Those wheels look oddly familiar
The only reason why this car looks 'horn' is because it has been slammed on its arse, with super damn low slammed springs
Justin...can't agree with you more on anything you've said mate

I think the thing that makes it look so good is how smooth it is. No back wiper, no little lights sticking up on the bumper to light up the number plate, no key/lock for the hatch. Very nice.
