Im new to car modding. i recently got a 2012 6mt pw sport+navi. i have no idea where to get aftermarket parts. i have a few mods in mind already but i dunno where i can get some in vancouver, cuz the rest of the site is all in the states. =(

i go to drivehard performance for parts mostly.
you can also PM venders here for quote shipped here or to point roberts where you can pick up your stuff. shipping to point roberts will save you quite a bit on shipping.
i've bought many parts for my 370z and have found that drivehard offers good prices around here. If they are a distributor of a certain brand, it should be cheaper than buying from the states. If special order, then it might be better to contact an authorized dealer on this forum
what kind of parts are you looking for?

^I went to drivehard for installation of exhausts/HFC/spacers. Bought a shine auto kit through them too. Fairly good prices/service. I sent my exhaust to point roberts and just picked it up there. Saves so much shipping time to clear customs and cost. If money is not an issue and you just want to get everything done at the same time. Maybe SR Auto Group is an option too. Search up Project Karnage. Its Ztoon's, hes a member on here also so maybe send him a PM for info on SR auto group.

Drivehard is pretty good. What parts u looking for?

SmallermouseZ · 03-29-2012, 05:09 AM

o wow, thanks for all the info. Im looking for a set of rims+tires. 19inch Ce28s or 19 inch TE37 SLs. HKS high power dual TI exhaust or amuse exhaust and Y pipe(thats if price is right). Really want a authentic amusekit, and Tein SS coils. also i dont mind if its 2nd hand. ummm for shipping to point roberts, how does it work? i have never picked up anything from the states. Do i have to pay an extra tax? or declare that i bought it there when i cross the boarder back to canada?

For shipping to point roberts, you give the address of one of the post offices there ie (the letter carrier). They get the shipment and you bring the tracking # to go pick it up. You have to pay them some $, look at their site to get accurate pricing then just bring it back through the border guard. They get people bringing things over all the time, most of the time they will just let you go. If they do tax you its no big deal, given the fact that you save so much time and potential shipping damages from shipping to the states.

For the authentic amuse kit, I have asked David @ drivehard and he says he can get the replica with ease. Didn't bother asking about authentic though. You might have to go through SR Auto if you don't want to do it yourself (ie contact amuse).

Dam man... I don't want a replica...
