SEARCH FIRST! '93+ Front spoiler lip pricing

[jack mayhoffer]

For the front bumper?

Ill take pics of mine when I get a chance. Its definitely at a different angle.

Its not the whole bumper, just the 2 lines that come down to the outside of the foglights... where the protrusions meet up. Its way off. Every other angle fits right on.

[Bern]

I'll need some pics of that to prove what you're saying. Whos is this guy and how is he posting if he's banned?


Aaron, how many lips could you fit in the UPS box? I'm planning of buying a lip, and thought I'd get a few others guys to buy to help split shipping. I'm thinking 3 lips would fit safely?

[AdReNaLiNe]

Bern, i'm in for a lip with you. So put me in as #2 with you. we can split shipping if he is able to do this.

[Bern]

K, I'll put you down. I'll give you a shout after Xmas...

The lips come individually boxed, and all the retainers etc can be tucked inside the box with the lip. The dimensions of that box are 68x20x5 inches, and it would be very easy to tape or strap them together side by side. Two lips would then be 68x20x10, three would be 68x20x15, four would be 68x20x20, and so on.

i have a 93 with 93 lip, and im wondering if i could take the lip off to sell it, would there be anything under the lip?

[te51levin]

Yeah...lots of holes!

[charto911]

what is the difference between the 93+ front bumper and the 91-92's (any pics)? how much extra are fog lights and if you get a 93 front Im assuming it more than likely will not come with the front lip? Thanks in advance

If you do a little searching, or just look around, you will find that those questions have already been answered in this forum.

All MkII bumpers are the same, discussed in a sticky labelled "MkII Front Bumpers".
Fog lights have been priced out under a thread titled "Fog Lights".
The lip is separate, and has been priced out in this thread. It does not come with the '93+ bumper, because the '93+ bumper is no different than the '91-'92.

How does UPS charge for this? Is it by weight, or box dimensions? I'm trying to get an idea so I can tell the others in the Ontario club...You gave me a quote with 'prepaid customs' by UPS for 1 lip, just want to know how much it will change if we ship 2 or 3 lips (strapped together of course)...

Also, what is the lead time for shipping? I plan on ordering in the first week of Jan, how long before you can ship? (no rush, just want a ballpark idea, looking for 1 040 superwhite lip and 1 202 painted black lip)

Payment through Credit card (mastercard) I assume is ok?

Thanks for your help Aaron!!

UPS charges primarily by weight, but if a package reaches a certain size, they start charging extra for oversized packages.

Unfortunately, during the phone call to UPS I found that "prepaid customs" was not accurate. What that actually was is just bill me the brokerage fee ($15) in advance and then bill me later for duty and tax charges after the fact. Nice for you, not great for me, and no actual net savings.

There is one black and one white within a couple of days of our dealership. There's also a red one nearby. Other colors are either several days away or would need to come in from Japan.

Yup, any major credit card will work.

I'm trying. We really are not set up to sell or ship outside of the continental US, so let's not assume anything is on just yet.

Just not neccessarily well, right? Luckily Aaron has the patience to help us Canucks get things straightened out when they're lost in translation somewhere at customs

Question: So in the case of 2 lips and all retainers, what would I be looking at cost-wise? Are 2 lips 'oversized' or is it by weight?

Question: So cost-wise, there will be the product cost + shipping + duties + CDN taxes + brokerage fees?

Would it be possible to get an idea of the Total cost of getting the lips, including everything?

Last Question: Are there any other shipping companies like FedEx or Purolator that we can try (and is it worth it to try?), or is UPS the only one?

[AdReNaLiNe]

Bern, i know that DHL is the US division of Purolator, and we may want to look into using them. Fedex is another option as you have mentioned

Even one lip alone falls into the 'oversize' category, so two would definately be oversized by their standards.

Exactly correct.

For two lips, you're looking at part cost (which varies by color) + $51US shipping + duties + CDN taxes + brokerage fees. I just don't have any means to calculate or predict what those other four costs are going to be.

UPS is the only one that we are set up to ship with. If you'd like to investigate other carriers, feel free, but I don't know how in the world to coordinate payment, etc, since we don't have accounts with them.

[Bern]

Thanks for the help with everything Aaron!

1 super white lip + retainers ordered!

Just waiting on Adrenaline....

[canadam]

Do not ship with UPS if you can avoid it, their brokerage fees are outrageous.

[Bern]

Too late, and no other options...but we're splitting it 2 ways so the price is definitely right!

[koenig]

I'm interested in a lip in yellow as well. I'm curious about the total cost and time to get one to my door in Kelowna BC postal code V1V 1N6.
I would also like to get the two little extensions on rear bumper in yellow as well.
Thnx
Kris

I'm in Prince George, Kris. If you want to split shipping on one of these, I'd be interested if you could throw it on Greyhound and send it up to me after you received it.

Let me know
