Exclamation Calling all fellow Canadian TL owners

Hey guys,

I'm looking in to further modding my car (damn you AZ *shakes fist*) and I can't help but feel shafted when comparing US and Canadian prices. For example all season rubber mats would cost me $190ish (CAD).

So Canadian TL owners, where do you get your stuff (performance/cosmetic) from?

I've been searching around for parts places close to where I live (Toronto) and it seems that many of you talk about Woodbine Acura. How do their prices compare?

Thanks for the input!

I personally bought my 4 season mat on AZine with a groupbuy, cost me around 90$ shipped if I remember.

All my simple mods like Short Shifter, LEDS, TailLight Tints or specific parts are coming from EBAY or Internet from the US.

Tint: www.Lamin-x.com

All big mods like ASPEC KIT, WINGS, you should shop and check the prices on different places.

www.acuraoemparts.com is a good reference for part numbers....

Mostly from the US...even with the exchange and Customs....you're still ahead. Mind you, prices have been equalizing more as the Loonie maintains its parity with the Greenback.

Woodbine has some good deals and they carry a lot of stuff. They are the official Canadian distributor for Ron Jon wheels. When I was leaning towards a set of Legend LGs (changed my mind and got A-Specs instead) their prices were very close to the US.

There's a place that I deal with in Ottawa that has competitive pricing with the US, not usre how it would stack up with shipping to T.O., but it should be comparable.
