Shipping is beans to a mainland destination. Most of the time, it's free. That's why I send all my stuff to my brother's place, and pick it up later, or have him find cheaper shipping and use proper shipping materials... if you know what I mean...

Crap, $153 is half of the $298 for a roundtrip ticket to AZ. Alot of friends still live there in Phoenix, and I know some are coming over for Christmas, and they might just haul it over for me.

$400 is what EVERYONE was quoting for shipping.

Also the whole shine kit would end up costing less then just the Varis side skirts, haha.
What do you guys think about the C20 front bumper? I like it, but its just soo different I'm still trying to wrap my head around changing the look of my car so drastically.

EDIT: grammar ****
DJ kickz i don't quite care for the front bumper on the central20 kit but i think the sides and rear are nice.

I hate to be the poor guy that has to check a an engine if you ever get a forged longblock! Hell Technicaly you can bring heads as carry on as long as one bag has a laptop in it. I can see some one now with 2 duffels comming through the X-ray machine. The TSA guy would be like, "UM... WTF!"

I'm very interested, but I'm from Spain, is there any problem?

Shine only makes the front bumper or does it the sideskirts too?

That pile I bought back in that pic was nothing. The goddamn midpipe box was huge, at least twice the size of the cannister box. Hawaiian Airlines was "confused" as to whether it was the maximum legal size allowable on as check-in baggage. A pissed off face at the check-in counter always straightens things out.

Thank god I got the exhaust out of the way.

The taillights I thought I would get nailed for, but they didn't even say a word. Airport security is hilarious.

Hmmmm I have about 400,000 frequent flyer miles. I may save alot on shipping if I just start taking trips all over the US to pick up stuff. It may be fun... hmmmm I need to see where these guys are locate, there just may be a road trip in the future .

EDIT: Well it looks like its an hour from the airport. Truck rental and a hotel, thats less than the $200. Do able... Now if I can get the boxes onto the plane.
