Shipping speed
Anyone in Canada bought a MazdaSpeed body kit and had it shipped from the us? If so how long did it take and where did it come from? I'm seriously looking at getting the front bumper,full side skirts and thinking of rear flares. Not sure about the rear flares, if it will look ok without. Any one got all around shots of the 8 with the full kit? The MazdaSpeed stuff comes painted and matches up good i hope. My car is only a year old and should not be faded too badly i'd think. If anyone can point me in the right direction for a good place to buy with good turnaround and shipping to Calgary Alberta Canada, I'm interested.

Hi there. Yes, I just went through the process of dropping off my car at a dealer, waiting for MS Speed body kit to arrive from USA, and waiting for install. My car was at the dealer for almost 6 weeks. The parts took at least of them. I could have waited to drop the car until the parts arrived but I vowed not to drive it this summer until the mods were complete. It was a long wait and totally worth the results. The fit and install was perfect.

You can have the dealer order the parts and call when they're in right on the day your install is scheduled. Like I said I didn't realize it was going to sit around for 3 weeks waiting for all the parts. Also, during that time I got a few scratches and minor dings fixed (from my kids bike falling over and hitting it).

I just ordered a Mazdaspeed bumper from Online Mazda Parts / Montgomery Mazda http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214264
Cheapest place I found for MS body parts, and great communication.
It cost me $1288.00 plus $145.00 for shipping to Oroville at the US border.
Took 2 weeks. I drove down and picked it up and only payed GST and PST at
Canada Customs. Installed in my garage by me ...2 hours...perfect colour match
and fit. Pics here.
