Hey ladies and gents.

just curious if anyone has/knows of any gta dealerships who are giving deals on parts/accessories????

me myself is looking for a TL 3rd gen 2008 -S lip kit. i would love to go see tim in buffalo but ain't willing to pay duty fees...

maybe we can get a group buy going on at one these gta dealerships?

anyone down?

 

im down

 

im down , i need a kit for the 04 TL...

 

04-06 kit is actually for sale at Acura

I forget the price but I believe it is under $1000

 

Under 1g cdn for the kit is a good deal......i paid for mine last month 790 usd shipped from one of the vendor here call Prestige Acura.

 

hey baby boi gsr,
where'd you get the quote of under $1000.
i'd be all over that.
any one luck on on finding deals?

 

Just go down to see Tim at Ray Laks Acura in Buffalo. I got my A-Spec kit for ~$640 USD. Drove it across the border with everything stuffed in one giant box and said it was only a bumper cover, paid about $15 in tax.

 

I'm down for a group buy (04 TL)... who's gonna look in to it?

 

Did anyone locate any good deals yet?
(in the GTA area)

 

count me in !

 

if u join TAC as a member, you get 20% off toronto honda.

 

Any updates with pricing or group buy??

 

Personally, I'm just gonna wait and get it next year. Winter is coming Hopefully the price will go down a little by then.

 

anything?? anyone??... i just need a front 07-08 type s Aspec lip

 

i jus got off the fone with someone at acura 2000 in b-town , they are nuts!! asking 2100 full kit pkg.. wow... ray laks in buffalo seems to be the smartest choice... i just want to get this kit before it comes obsolete from dealerships...then price of the kits would sky rocket...and hard to find... i rather pay for new then used ...so times ticking...any luck anyone?

 

Acura Woodbine used to have good deals but they closed the door. call Toronto Honda maybe they have some "left over" from Acura Woodbine. they are sister stores.

buying from Buffalo is a good idea, remember, there is no duty if the origin of the parts are in NA. Acura Canada is not reducing the price and there is very little room for dealership.

 

Good to know... so no duties for the skirt as it was made in North America?! say if coming back from border that customs tries to pull a fast one????

i've heard of other members saying they paid duties for their skirts....

 

What colour kit are you looking for?

 

wdp

 

the kits are probably made in Japan, then shipped to the US. (FYI), so origin is not USA.

 

most likely.
automobile parts shall be tariff free under NAFTA, include tires. but i think GST and maybe HST??? will be applied on border.

 

Why don't you guys do like one of member on here did (Kris), he only paid $15 in taxes, so the total less than 660 bucks for the whole kit, can't go wrong on that.
Just a thought.


Peace.

 

how long ago did u get that kit? I was gonna go tomorrow to drive down, tim quoted me $772 usd. but they have to order it so tomorrow is a wash...

 

Did you tell him one of a member here bought it for less?.
The post was 08-06-09 at 12:46pm, i don't think it too long ago.

Peace.

 

Yes everything is duty free under NAFTA. But each item has a specific rule of origin they have to meet in order to qualify for NAFTA, even if they were made in the USA/Mexico.
If the goods don't meet the rule or origin, you pay duty, plus taxes. If you have a business number you're using, you're exempt from one of the taxes.

 

that was the date and time of his post on this thread.. there may be a possibility he bought it a while back but just posting his transaction at that time.. possibly.

 

idolize, you got a pm.

 

just a fyi. 2 weekends ago i drove to Ray Lak's Acura, it was approx a 15 min drive at most after crossing the border. Picked up my aspec skirt ( those boxes are HUGE ) got to customs, told them they were "bumper covers" lol advised i spent $300 us. and they charged me $40 bucks cdn duties.. not bad. so duties and kit i ended paying about $810 cdn

 

Congrats and now put it on and enjoy.

 

i think i may make the drive.. all i need is a rear lip.. i backed into a snowbank and cracked the paint and its coming off now. but its in the area where the lip would cover it. so yeah.im giving them a call tomorow.

 

anyone from the gta.... definately worth going to buffalo.... cdn stealerships are a joke but then again its the cdn acura pricing from head office... not individual dealerships... ahwell. buffalo it is! lol

 

Why not have it installed in Buffalo and drive back - is it that expensive to have it installed by the dealer in the US? I'm thinking of getting the kit for my new 4g tl installed in buffalo and drive back

 

just read the post somewhere, hondacuraworld.com has closed it's door...

 

no!!!

 

or you can just have it shipped. I bought a front and rear lip and it was only $60 to ship it to my door. that included all duties and taxes.

 

from where?

 

hey i know this may be unrelated kinda, but i want to know where i might be able to buy parts from canada online (i am in the US btw, colorado to be more exact), and the parts i want are not exactly available here, and never was , and never will be, cause they came on the 2003 A-SPEC TL, so yes the 2G one

cause i would love some FACTORY blacked out headlights, and then also part of the Factory painted grill also

 

curry acura. coming from toronto it would take atleast half a tank roundtrip, atleast half a day and maybe taxes and duties at the border. so for $60 I had it shipped

 

Just call up some local dealers, you'd be surprised what they do. I'll be picking up a full kit for the EL (front, rear, side and rear lip) for under $1000 total. It used to be about 2300 dollar option, so not a bad deal. Their old stock is just lying around and they want to make space.
