Exclamation Shine Auto Project

Has anyone ordered from them in Canada, or wherever you did order from, what type of duties and shipping costs did you pay? Looking into a kit from them possibly and just wondering if there's some ridiculous costs that our good old Canadian border is going to throw my way. Thanks.

Toronto RX-7 Club did several times of group buy from Shine Auto before, on shipping rear diffusers, side skirts and front bumper etc. I recall their big box can fit like 4 diffusers or something, and its around $250. Since its Made In USA, Shine Auto claims there shouldn't be import tax or something. RX-7 Club group buy last time didn't hit tax either, if I remember correctly.

But communication is a big problem from Shine Auto (Ken). He rarely replies e-mail, nor pick up phone calls. You have to call them like 5-7 times to reach him once. Or maybe he will call back you. Super busy guy

Yeah, I called today, he picked up first time. Great service, he said they include broker fees, duties and all that in the initial shipping cost. Shine Auto Project it is.

I was thinking the lip kit, but I'm open to other ideas for a group buy. I like the look of the black lip kit on the WWP. What were you interested in? I'm calling Ken tomorrow so if you're interested I can run it by him and see what deal he's willing to entertain. I'm going to KC tomorrow night if they're planning on meeting. You going?

If you are calling Ken, please also get a quote for RX-7 FD3S RE Pro Diffuser (FRP) & Center Air Diverters for RE Pro Diffuser (FRP) for me. Thanks.

Can't make it tomorrow night to KC, got a birthday dinner to attend.

^ Yeah, $350 + $80, that's the same price on their website. So there is no better deal if we both order together? I think the box can fit your lip kit and my rear diffuser. Can you please ask how much is shipping to Toronto?

We can split the shipping cost in half, if you are ordering.

No, not buying anything for the 8, just for the 7.
