Lightbulb Aftermarket parts in Canada

Hey guys first off sorry if this is in the wrong location.
Im looking for aftermarket parts for my car such as racingbeat parts and a rear bumper. Amazon and CarId seem to have what I am looking for. Only thing is I don't want to pay the $260 shipping on a $200 bumper nor the importing fees, so where do you guys shop in Canada for aftermarket parts to avoid shipping fees and what not ?
Thanks for your help

Aftermarket parts in Canada

Depending where you're from, you can ship the item to a town across the border and pick it up. Otherwise, you'll have to eat the fees...

There are these guys: rotaryengine.com | Rotary Engine Specialists | Mazda Performance | RX7 Specialties

I have never bought anything from them, and their inability to write OEM doesn't inspire much confidence.

I heard that shops in calgary ship stuff to some place near the broder in montana and go get it once a week.

I've had very little luck finding aftermarket stuff at reasonable prices in Canada, so end up ordering a whole bunch of stuff anytime that I'm planning a trip to the US. I usually get it shipped to a postage facility across the border and pick it up on the way home. Other times, it's just not worth the hassle to drive 1 hour each way, so I bite the bullet and pay the shipping fees. It's not cheap, but still reasonable when compared to the aftermarket part costs for things like BMWs and Porsches.

Aside from that, the only reasonable source in Canada seems to be these forums if you have the patience to search and wait for what you need.

Good luck!

Haha didn't even notice that before... 'OME'

I bought my Racing Beat catback exhaust from them, and I'm located in Toronto. Adam was very helpful and good service over the phone in general.
The price was as good as it was going to get considering the current exchange rate and shipping fees; but it beat ordering from the states what with the brokerage/customs/duties blah blah.

Depending on what the part is, they'll probably have to order it in; but you'll have to call and find out what they have and the pricing.
