I know that website, but the cost to send here will be heaps. they said typical body kit will cost about NZ$700. that is just the shipping cost. nothing local? Like i said, i would like to have my headlight changed and some body kit.

how can you tell how much shipping is with www.autostyle.co.za as it doesn't have a shipping calculator or guide?

i emailed them, and they gave me a quote, it takes about 2 days or so, AUTOSTYLE is good if you're importing heaps of stuff, then you SCORE BIG TIME...

on the shipping page, for international shipping, they quote for around (after conversion) NZ$700 for typical body kit. I'm not sure what country but I reckoned we're at the end of the world. It can only be more expensive than that.

Blake

also check out tunershop.com they seem to be more resonable.

what about this:http://www.tmtuning.com/main/html/main.html

These guys are cheap and seem to be one of the better american tuning shops.

yeah tmtuning.com are pretty good. tunershop.com however gave me free shipping for my keskin wheels. where as tmtuning would have charged me. I thought anything over 1k incurs a duty charge of %10. If it is below that you only pay gst.

Have you got your wheels yet?  Any duty to pay on them?

not yet. placed the order last friday. got a confirmation email back from them and a copy of the proforma invoice which read like this. 4 keskin wheels with bolts etc - total NZ$950 - special price as wheels are ex-demonstration.

That way all I should have to pay is GST.


MRVR6

Hey, have you had your wheels yet? how about some pics?

Blake

Naturally there was a delay with the xmas break etc. I am off today with my gf to the gold coast but was told they should arrive at the end of this week - so I wont know till I get back which is friday week. O the agony of waiting!  :laugh:
