Which tire stencil size do I pick?
The size is your rim size, not the tire: it's the number after the R on the sidewall (195/50 R15 → 15"). We make them from 14" to 19", the Nankang from 13" to 19", and 15" is the one we ship most. Not sure? Send us a photo of the sidewall on Instagram and we'll tell you which one.
How long until my order arrives?
We make your order first: 1 to 3 days for anything printed (stencils, banners, race numbers, stickers), 7 to 15 business days for exhausts, which are welded by hand. Then transit, in business days from the day it ships: mainland Spain 1-2, Canary Islands 5-8, European Union 3-5 (1-2 express), UK, Switzerland and Norway 5-8, USA and Canada 3-7, Australia, New Zealand and Asia 10-20. You get the tracking number by email the moment it ships.
How much is shipping?
Mainland Spain €4.95, Canary Islands €9.95, European Union €12.95 (express €19.95), UK, Switzerland and Norway €12.95, USA and Canada €14.95 (express €24.95), Australia, New Zealand and Asia €14.95 (express €34.95), Argentina €40. Exhausts weigh over 2 kg and have their own rate: €14.95 in Spain, €19.95 in the EU, €34.95 in the USA. You see the exact amount at checkout before you pay.
Where's my order?
When your package ships you get an email with the tracking number (check spam too); the Shop app lets you follow it from your phone. No tracking yet means your order is still being made. If the tracking hasn't moved for several days or your zone's delivery window has passed, message us on Instagram or by email with your order number and we'll chase the carrier.
Exhausts: what's the "final section", which cars fit, are they street legal?
The final section (Straight Muffler) is the rear muffler only: it hangs on the car's stock hangers and bolts to your existing exhaust, OEM or aftermarket, with the donut gasket. The Race Spec center exit is the full system from the header back, two pieces joined by a V-band, hardware included. Both are stainless steel, hand-made in Spain and numbered, and fit the Civic EF, EG and EK hatchback with a D or B Series engine (sedan or coupe: ask us before ordering). They're not street legal: they're built for competition and track use, not for public roads.
Do you make custom products?
Yes, on request: another color, another size or a design of your own. Send us what you have in mind (and a photo of the car if it helps) on Instagram at @racing.spirits or through the contact form, and we'll tell you if we can do it, the price and the lead time. Custom pieces are made for you, so double-check colors and measurements before you confirm.
How can I pay, and in which currency?
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and PayPal, plus Klarna or Bizum depending on your country. Prices show in the currency of the country you select (59 currencies) and you're charged in that same currency. If your card is in a different currency, your bank may apply its own exchange rate or a small fee: that one's not on us.
Sizes & compatibility
Kuru Kuru: which bulb base do I need, and how do they fit?
They're rotating LED tail-light bulbs imported from Japan, in two versions depending on your car's bulb base: P21/5W or T20 (check the bulb you're running now). They go in place of the stock bulb, no adapting needed; they also work on motorcycles with DC power to the tail light. Don't fit them in a badly sealed housing or anywhere water gets in.

Products
Stencils: how do I use them and how long do they last?
Clean the tire sidewall well, hold the stencil flat against it and paint through the cutouts with your tire paint or marker, in thin coats; lift it off carefully and let it dry. For the first few hours, skip the car wash, hard driving and curbs when you park. They're flexible plastic: they wash, they follow the curve of the tire and they last around twenty uses if you look after them.
Banner: how do I apply it?
It's a self-adhesive vinyl, about 135 × 20 cm (53 × 8 in), that you trim to your windshield. Apply it on clean, dry glass and leave the wipers off for the first 12 hours. It holds up in sun and rain; wash with water or alcohol, no harsh products and no pressure washer on the edges. Special colors last a bit less outdoors.
Race numbers: what size, and do they come numbered?
Each one is 39 × 41 cm (15.4 × 16.1 in), original Japanese dimensions, and they come in pairs: one per door. They come blank, no number. If you want yours on it, ask us before ordering and we'll tell you if we can.
Stickers and slaps: what are they made of, do they hold up outside?
Printed, laminated vinyl made to live outdoors: sun, heat, water and dust. Slaps are the small format, same material. Wash without harsh products and keep the pressure washer off the edges; special colors (holographic and the like) fade a bit sooner in the sun.
