just have to have a paypal account and make sure you have your address listed on the account. and you're pretty much set. delivery was pretty quick, about 5 days or so.
should do it when you can. cause when i placed my order, the aspec front lip in NBP ( 07) was discontinued. so i had them ship i different colour instead... still gotta get it painted... >.>
PS: try not to buy anything from dealerships, they're called stealerships for a reason... i needed some bumper plugs for my front bumper and they wanted $60 for 2.. so i was like fuck that and ordered from online for $25 shipped to Point Roberts..

yeah, just get it shipped to your house. You'll just give yourself more trouble with trying to tetris it in your TL and getting it across the border. Not worth saving the $50. Save yourself the trouble. And pretty much what AegisZero is saying is what you have to do lol. Pay the money and sit back and relax and wait for the packaged to come. I think they choose the courier and you don't.

yah im just gonna have it shipped to my house as i've never really picked up anything across the boarder yet,I was just wondering about how much difference you'll end up paying by doing that but if its only around 100 bucks then i guess its not really worth it..again thanx for the info.

mmm yeah..it might be best to have it shipped to your house... thats what i did. cause of the size of the box, you might have to pay $10-$15 for the shipping depot. and you might even have to pay tax crossing the border.

im probably gonna get court date ticket soon too i didnt pay my cell phone ticket.
word of advice to everyone watch out for russ baker way richmond.. cops are doing cell phone checks they stand on the overpass and watch when theres a red light for people using cell phone and they use a slr camera to take a pic of you
i got caught texting but i told the cop i was talking on the phone on speaker phone so he dropped it to just talking and driving.
because texting while driving counts as points and talking on phone doesnt

no i have seen people argue the opposite, and win.
as long as you can show some doubt on the cops word..
for example i saw a taxi driver in court keep saying that the cop mistook his cab for another cab and didn't commit the offence. judge then ruled that he showed enough doubt and let him off...
its not about proving yourself innocent, more about the cop proving you guilty. only evidence cop has on you is his word and his ticket, which is both iterated by him.
it's worth a try if the ticket is >100$

i think im pretty much screwed since they have a picture of me lol
ive heard that the cop will most likely show up to court since they are paid to and could get in trouble for not doing so

aspec kit came in today box is a little damaged but the kit is fine aside from one really small nick on one of the sideskirts not too obvious so im ok with that overall pretty satisfied with the price and didnt have to pay extra for brokeage.

the box gets damaged a little bit, but the parts inside should be fine. When i got mine there were like damaged corners and stuff from handling but nothing wrong with the parts itself. If anything you can get an exchange or refund if it is... they'd prob send you a shipping label also so they can take it back.
