Did anyone buy Rotary Crests?

Hi guys! I just got quoted 130 bux Canadian for the Front Crest and 115 for the Back Crest from the Dealer. Is this the right amount? Just curious hehe, I am already spending about 410 bux of my going to be credit on 2 extra master keys and the side Strakes, and am wondering if I am getting a good deal on the Crests.

That's MSRP for the crests, do a search for "pembroke" I believe the crests are $100 + shipping and $88 + shipping. Something like that.

I would be more worried about the strakes. Are you getting them from your dealer? I want the strakes but they are selling for $195 USD or $270 cdn in the US! Here they want $388!

What kind of deal are you getting on those?

$70 cheaper through the US, can't be much for shipping, maybe $10

Yes, but better to drive down to get them, lest your shipment be dinged with customs when it comes through... if they send via UPS, the customs + brokerage fees could come close to eating up your savings.

Yeah, i figure they may ding me for customs, so I will probably just order them here in Vancouver! One more thing, RX8 Rules!

Get them to ship USPS! I have received TONS of stuff from the US and never pay customs or anything.

Just ask them to mark "gift" on the package and your good to go :D

I'll be ordering from the US when I get them, unless a local dealer will match or come very close ($300 tax in) on them.

I paid full list for my accents (Front and Rear).

I think they are essential pieces for the RX-8, and that the car looks odd without them being on there. Definitely should be the first couple of pieces you get for the 8 if you're on a budget and want to add slowly.
