Yea, we can import it no problem. I can fit up to three bumpers inside one carton, so getting two fronts and a rear won't be a problem.

Also be wary of used bodykits, since it's virtually impossible to determine from pics (or even an initial inspection) if there are any spider cracks or inner structural integrity issues that can cause significant problems down the road. IMHO it's much more worth your time and money (and also peace of mind) to opt for brand new parts.

Oh and, if anyone has us import a Zefiro bumper, I can do Zefiro sideskirts for only $175/pair!

I know, thats the issue I had with mine. I've had the same bumper for at least 5 years, and I've scraped dozens of times, hit an exhaust, a tire, a bunny, and drove over a median with it. I kept fixing it, but the paint kept cracking. And then it just pretty much fell apart.

Mike, how much for just the front bumper?

Well, since we don't stock these anymore, I'd have to special order it fresh from Zefiro. Just to import a single bodykit carton will cost about $600 for int'l shipping, customs, brokerage, etc. (It'll probably cost more, but I won't hold you to anything over $600). The cost of the front bumper is normally more, but I'll do $400 even. So in essence, your total cost would be $1000.

Now though I understand this is pretty expensive, keep in mind that since we can fit up to three bumpers in a single carton, I'd strongly recommend that you try and hook up with someone around here who might also want a Zefiro front and/or rear...such as BrakeRP. This way, the import costs are dispersed amongst each part ($200 apiece). In this case, your total cost would be brought down to $600--which is more or less what these bumpers used to retail for anyway.

$600 would be do-able. I'll have to convince Rich to go in with me, lol.

How long would it take to order it and have it shipped over?

Oh I'm sure you can use your feminine charm to convince him. wink1.gif

It'll take about 4-6 weeks to import and go through customs. My last shipment took 24 days exactly, so hopefully US Customs is still running on such a smooth schedule by the time yours gets in should you choose to proceed.

It doesn't take much for Liz to convince me of anything.

Pass Liz all the numbers broken down and we'll take a look at funds and payment.

Figure $750 shipped to a business in Canada.

And no, Zefiro's certainly not out of business. Who the heck said that??
