Canada sucks

Hey everyone. I've been searching far and wide for a company in Canada that offers a service similar to that of HandaAccessories.com. Unfortunately, I have come up with no results. The only option for me at this point is to order the rear and side OEM skirts from the dealer for a ridiculous amount of about $1,400 after taxes. And that's without the front! There is no f*cking way that I will pay that much for those pieces. HandaAccessories.com seem to have fair prices, but they do not do orders from Canada. So, I was wondering if anyone knows of any other solutions or companies that might be able to get me what I'm looking for.

Re: Canada sucks

Yeah the dealers really rape you on the prices, in you US you could probably land a full lip kit used for half the price.


EDIT: The Leafs suck *** too

Yeah, and the best part was that he said, "...and that's if we can even get it." Nice to know

Anyway, I've decided to order the rear skirt pre-painted because I still have a $200 credit due to an alignment they f*cked up the last time I was there. And I'll just go with some Type A sides in welfare abs plumbing plastic. Sucks, but they're less than $200.

Don't be bitching about prices if you want to move to Europe.

That's a great idea, but the problem is that they won't even allow me to place the order at HandaAccessories.com. I get denied as soon as I click 'checkout', so I guess they go by the location of the IP address. The other problem is that I don't know anyone in the US within driving distance.

Gearbox, that's insane...especially because it's in US dollars. I'm assuming it would be a bit more here if I order the full kit. I bought the front lip used from someone for $140 and decided that I now want the rest of the kit. And I'll be going pretty low this summer, so polyurethane is the way to go.

Montreal? Dude, you live 20 minutes from the Lacolle border. Just pick it up in Buffalo.

Re: Canada sucks

This reminds me of the time when the Canadian dollar was worth more than the US and Canadians were hoping the border and buying all kinds of ****, the iPhone was the big one. It got so bad that apparently they started checking drivers licenses to make sure you were a resident of Buffalo before they would sell you one.

And then they got raped by the long dick of the law when people referenced NAFTA. You can't refuse sale to someone from across the border.
