Dear Mr. Goda,
You have provided a favorable response, and I thank you for your time.
I do, however, think there has been a mis-communication. I am in charge of a not-for-profit organization for Subaru enthusiasts. Although I believe there is much profit to be made off of the product, I would much rather see the availability of items from K2 Gear in the United States without adding middle-men to increase the cost of such a product. Also, if I did register a business and provide a business certificate I would be doubtful to meet your minimum order requirements.
Based on your response, I assume that 5Zigen USA only provides products to registered distributors in the United States, and not to individual consumers. Would it be possible to organize a group buy of 5-10 people to pay at once for the item in order to deal with 5ZigenUSA directly, and not go through a distributor? If not, I assume I will need to talk to an authorized distributor for your company. If this is the case, I would appreciate details on such a distributor.
For reference, the product that we are interested in can be viewed at http://www.k2k2.jp/news01.htm . This is an S401 replica front bumper for the Subaru Legacy. Based on my limited knowledge of Japanese, I gather that the version to fit revision A-C(similar to USDM design) is still under development. Through various contacts, I believe that I can organize at least 5 people to purchase this product from K2Gear through 5Zigen.
I apologize if I was not clear before and look forward to your continued interest. It is much appreciated.
With best regards,
