I am looking for a new body kit. Does anyone know where I can get either the r34 or the ixion in Canada. There are alot in the US but shipping is killing me.

Well, unfortunately that's all you are going to find. There are no Canadian distributors of bodykits.

Well actually I found a guy in Calgary. But He wants like $1100 for the r34 kit. I am actually only looking for the front bumper. There are actually 2 other sites that I know of that are canadian that carry the evo bumpers and the bomber (bmx) ones. http://www.onderground-design.com and http://www.contemporarymotorsport.com but this one you have to call. ANyone else know of anywhere?

Thats only $150 shipping within the USA. It another $100 plus taxes plus duty to get it up here. thats close to $300 just for shipping. The bumper is only worth $175. Just it's hard for me to pay twice as much as the bumper is worth just for shipping. Anyone from LA area coming to Canada anytime soon?

That is an option. IF there is anyone up near the montana border, I will drive down and get it. Make a weekend trip out of it.

well my family is in CT so sorry!

but my dad is the maitenece manager of a major private airport, the ship crate motors from Socata and lycoming who have plants in canada.. pratt and witney too, so I could easily find out the next time he is shipping something to canada, ship him the bumper and he'll toss it on the truck heading out that way, that way you only pay the shipping to him.

yoda sed on aim if you want to chat about it

That sounds like a decent plan. Could find out what shipping would be from L.A. to Florida. That might save me a couple dollars. I have no time to chat tonight though. PM me and I will get back to you.

only cost me $200USD to ship my entire kit from Cali to Toronto dude.
Deal with your own shipping company/Broker and you'll get a wayyyy better deal.
When purchasing, more precisely, PRIOR to purchasing, ask the seller if they would be willing to use a "warrenty replacement, no value for customs purposes" Then you will NOT have to pay taxes on the product. There is no duty on items like these from the US.
Disclaimer if there are any customs ppl reading. "I do not condonne this practice"
