Theres www.spoilersto.com that just opened here in mississauga, very close. I don't know about the xenon and r34, they do have the buddy club for the coupe and they sell replica's too! Check them out, and the sales rep Julie, said if you are a paid member of this site, you get a discount of tax included.
Just to let you know, i am looking for the kiminari lip kit for my sedan and she said it was 1200 tax included.

called the place and they DON'T do installation or painting. she quoted me $1225(+tax) for the Octane kit and another $1100(+tax) for painting and installation which I have to take my car to another shop to do.
thats $2673.75(tax in) to get the octane kit, and paint + install it. she also mentioned something about the octane sides not fitting properly on a sedan and that i'd have to pay more money to have it molded in.
on the other hand the kaminari lip kit is $1200(+tax, i'm not a paid member of this site). the kit is made of polyurethane which should be stronger than the fibre glass octane kit. hey FLIP114 i'm thinking of getting the kaminari lip kit too. maybe if we buy them together we'll get a discount?

Rep Power: 0 well i got a quote from a bodyshop for $600 to paint and install the kaminari lip kit on my car. so that's $1200 + $600 + taxes which comes out to $2070.00 out the door.
is this a good deal or am i getting ripped off?
i think i can get it cheaper if i get replica kit but the kaminari lip kits are made from high quality polyurethane.

HIGHLYreflective.....just to clear up the quote abit.
$1225 for the Octane Kit
$1100 for paint and install
TOTAL $2325 including taxes , these club prices are for members of seventh gen as well as other club members.
$ 1200 Kaminari Lip kit
$ 600 Paint and install
Total $ 1800 including taxes
When your a club member and ask for pricing please let me know so that I supply you club prices.
Hope this clears up the quotes.
The sides being molded was included in the $1100 , although I am no longer in the same building as our affilliated body shop I still do deal with them as well as others that will shortly become affiliates for quality paint and install.
Thanks Julie

Rep Power: 0 side view.... i don't think this is the real thing because it's missing the blue/yellow kaminari logo on the front part of the side skirts. the shape of the side skirts are a bit off too but other than that it looks like an exact replica of the kaminari lip kit.
YEa, I wonder how much of a discount we can get from multiple purchase? I am really thinking of getting the kiminari Kit.
So Julie, does it mean, being a registered member of this site, gets us the tax included discount?
Is it really hard to DIY installation of the kiminari lip kit?
Are there any other good looking kits out there for the sedan? Something a little more aggressive?

Rep Power: 0 i am seriously thinking of getting the kaminari kit but before i do i need a few questions answered.
first, if i need to take the kit off to change my headlights/taillights is it going to be a problem.
second, how exactly do i jack my car up to change my wheels when the side skirts are covering the metal support beam.
third, will i scrape when going over a speed bump if my car is not lowered?

FYI, 634USD at 1.4 exchange =888 CDN.
Shipping about 150 USD, or 210CDN
Customs broker fees approx 80 CDN
BTW, the customs broker will collect the PST, GSt, HST, what applies for your province
So actual price may come to over 1350.
You decide.

Its always better to buy local if you can...especially when it comes to a big purchase like a bodykit. You never know how the shipping company is gonna handle your product, plus if its local you get to deal with them personally and not over the phone or on the web.
