Bodykits

[ukazn]

If i was to order a bodykit overseas from say America or Japan, how much would i be expecting to pay for shipping?

Just been qouted $400 dollars for a company in america to ship from their door to the nearest airport to me.

I ordered some parts from the States.. wish I hadn't now. It takes to long!

Like Scorpion said contact jdm-partsguru or look at the TDI link at the top of the page.

Order from Japan is fast, but then the Custom and Duty also high, i will talk to Alex (jdm_partsguru) if you guys want to order stuffs, hes is very good, i got my Cnetre Arm rest from Alex, first class service...

Lextasy.com...

customs and duty - vat will be the same from wherever its sent from its uk duty!!

japanese kits will fit uk models - usa ones wont without modifications

in my experience japanese shipping is far faster and cheaper than american

I order my swaybar at Lextasy.com one month ago (22 dec. ), they tell me that it will take 6-8 weeks, they tell me friday that it will arrive in five days now.

It cost me 76$ for shipping. Wait and see...

I've have, in the past, ordered the odd small item and had no problem. But I have heard some mixed reports about Lextasy. Stick with our man Alex (jdmparts_guru) you won't go wrong. B)

I ordered my CF grill there and received it 2 weeks later => very smooth transaction

[RoadRash]

Once I asked for a bodykit and I got told, it would take about 1 month to receive it in USA and then about 1-2 weeks to get it here.

Because for the IS200/IS300 the bodykits are not in stock.

400-500$ should be normal for bodykit shipping.

Bloody yanks! :P

if you can have a nice word with your supplier they can tick the "gift" box on the transport form, that way you wont have to pay VAT as you didnt actualy purchace it! lol. get them to send the recipt seperately.

also buy from states now as the exchange rate was $1.82 to the pound!

$300 is £164 which for such a bulky item aint bad!

[jdmparts_guru]

Don't think that the Customs people will fall for that. There is a limit in what you can get as gift.

[yemgi]

a bodykit is too large to be considered as gift, express shipping (DHL or UPS like ) will make you pay the customs :(

[marcus]

I got my Bodykit from the US, it was $320 and the shipping was $120, and then i had £79 customs, at the time the $ was $1.62 to the £<, so i payed £271 + £79 = £350 not a bad price for a full KIT

[ukazn]

The company that has qouted me was www.booststore.com. I'm Basically after the Wald fender flares.

Have dropped Alex(jdm_parts_guru) a pm and waiting reply.

Marcus where did you get your kit from?

[marcus]

I got my Kit of WWW.ebay.com the guy to look up is "marowdbr" this is the guy i got my Body Kit of.

The 'Gift' thing definately does not work. I have ordered rims from the states marked as gift, I even had them sent in four separate boxes and I got hammered for £490 customs duty. Did the same thing when ordering on various occaisions from ProLex performance and again got charged customs. Just accept you are going to have to pay it, and if it manages to sneak through take it as a bonus.

It is a bit of a shock when the postie knocks on your door and asks for £490 before you can have your packages

Is this the one you've bought? Vizage

Do you know or anyone else know if this will need to be modded for the IS200?
