To the Canadians out there:

Where could I order an OEM bodykit, outside of the dealership? Using the acura.ca website, it retails for C$775+C$887+C$640 (C$2300 before tax!) I don't know about you ... but I don't think it's worth *THAT* much.

I compared that with the ACP website -- it's way cheaper to pick up the kit from ACP (US$829.99 = C$1330 @ 60% exchange) but what concerns me is how much UPS charges people on duty and handling stuff cross-border.

As I stated in a previous thread, my GF bought me the PIAA 9006 Platinums from the ACP site -- the bulbs were comparable to prices around here but the kicker -- she had to pay an extra C$40 due to duty and a 'handling' fee ($20). WTF?! I thought that was just plain robbery -- it came in a tiny box (less than 1 lb) yet that costs C$20 to handle? Just imagine how much they'd charge for oversized boxes (that the kit comes in) !!!

I haven't had a chance to check out where to get the kit in Michigan but I would do it in a heartbeat if I could find a reputable place that knows Honda / Acura cars. Anyone help me on either side of the border? I don't mind travelling 100 miles to save (potentially) hundreds of dollars. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
