If your after a talon kit buy direct and save a bit, For any other kit you will have to try the uk, or even CAL16V on here, Or if you have the money and want to spend it try www.carshine.com.au.

I can already tell you as i did this a couple of months ago
For the 5 door. The kit will cost you $3500, and $1500 for fitting and painting so you'll be looking at $5k if you come to melb to get it done, let alone getting it shipped to sydney as well.
Apparently his price for freight and fitting is a bit high so i've now got a quote for $4k from a mate's place. Still pretty exxy though...:D

The exact reply:
hi there sorry about the delay getting back to you.. yes the kit is very
cool...
the kits is around 3000.00 inc GST painting depends on the who does it
but
normally it costs around 1500 to paint and around 300 to 500 to fit
the quality of these kits over most of the stuff on the oz market is
excellent, ads most of the stuff here are copies from Asia and don't fit
very well let alone are not made to a high enough quality..
