    Default Locating lip-style spoiler + Rear flares...

    Hey guys, I was just poking around on ebay looking for a bday present for the gf (shhh...) when I "suddenly" lost interest in whatever I was looking for and started looking for a OEM lip-style spoiler and some rear flares. Yeah, the exterior of the car is starting to take shape, and I just wanted to give it a little nudge with these additions

    Does anyone have any particular ebay/online vendor suggestions?

    I do realize that there are local vendors/sponsors, however I don't think i'd have the coin to buy both from them. I made an offer to some guy on ebay for brand-new painted rear flares for $85USD shipped, and have seen some OEM-lip-style spoilers going for around $90USD shipped. Locally, i'd probably be looking at around $250 for the spoiler, and around $200 for the rear flares.

    The only issue i see when buying these parts from the states, is that although the prices are good, their shipping carrier to Canada is almost always UPS or DHL. and with that you get hit with brokerage fees (usually in the range of 40-50usd) then add the tax.. In the end you dont end up with much of a saving.

    But if you find something good let me know i'm lookin for some side skirts myself

    Yeah, I get what you're saying... I usually insist on USPS and ask them to mark the items as gifts.

    The issue with USPS and oversized items is that you will be charged like 100 to get it shipped up here..

    either way you look at it we get screwed. lol

    ^^^ Gave thought to that, or shipping the items to my company's branch out in Chicago. I'm going to be at Niagara this weekend, maybe i'll cross to check my prospects, unless someone has experience with this?

    Hey Jay,

    I bought a lip spoiler for my 08 off ebay, it came painted and all for about $120CDN I think. It came from the US with USPS and no fees of any kind. Cant remember the seller though, I'll see if I can track them down.

    As for the flares, I want them as well and they are pricey like you said but the box wont be very big and if they send through USPS it shouldnt cost anymore on our end. Whos the seller you were looking at?? $85 painted is a good deal. Do you have a link?

    Bastid failed to mention he charges $25 to ship to Canada. I just asked him if he'd be willing to do $100USD shipped, and I'll post his response if anyone else is interested.

    As for the rear spoiler, I think i'm going the "boot/lip" style, which apparently will cost me about $28USD unpainted, shipped from Taiwan. I managed to paint my eyelids, I figure it can't be THAT much harder to do the spoiler... (famous last words)
