use shipito . com!!! its parcel forwarding. the site ships it to shipito's US warehouse and in turn. shipito ships it to you!

I used it for a grille from sewell before they closed down a few months back when shipping to Canada was not an option

Do they have a big mark up? Shipping the items within the states cost less than $50 and these aren't small boxes...

not really. sewell shipped it to shipito for about $20... shiptio sent it to me for $40... so 60 total for shipping to me.

You only have to pay $1 for each shipping charge to shipito... its really easy and I had a decent experience with it... they have customer chat online during the day and i found it helpful for account / order questions

Also any time I order parts from the states, regardless of which route, I always end up with a brokerage fee from ups, sups, etc, when its delivered to my door... no way around that (in addition to shipping charges)

I just used their online estimator for shipping the skirts and rear lip. The side skirts alone cost a bit over $300 to ship it to me... which at that point I might as well get them at a dealer. (Since they still have to get painted)

I was just about to ask you that, good to know. I will give them a try with smaller boxed items, I guess I'll hold off on the lip kit and keep looking on the forums and/or locally.

Yup. Everything that Sewell has, the local dealer has... at a higher price

But lately, they have been matching Sewell's prices, but now that Sewell is gone, I'm going to assume that their back to sky high prices...

For the price, it might be cheap enough to have the part respray if they dont have ur color.Good luck.
Thanks for the head up. I took your advise did order side skirt and rear lip $140 included shipping . Can't beat that. I'm just gonna let my body shop to respray it still cheaper than stealership cost....

Yes, can't beat the price. I believe they will email you with an invoice for additional shipping charge (the boxes are quite big). They charged me extra $24 and change for the side skirt. You will have the chance to accept or cancel the order then.

These are legit OEM parts with factory paint. I only purchased the side skirt so i can't speak for the fitment of the front and rear. The side skirt fit perfectly with great color match (i have SMG so it is an easy match).

OEM parts = perfect fit.

It's the replica parts that you'll have issues with...

The issue is that the GFX parts were never sold in Canada, and cannot be ordered by a Canadian dealer, so in some cases shipping internationally just has to happen.
