my samco gun metal hoses came in... joe @ zspeed top notch service also my clear overflow hoses came in... they will match the top secret breather hoses for the oil cans... and to make my day even more awesome... my top secret cans left japan and are in bound to guam should be here this week

NOW... here is the bad news.... hood comes in tonight and i just got the invoice... the qoute i got was around $650 or so... give or take..... i thought that this price was fine and better than the $1000 dollar to air freight it to guam... the only problem was i had to wait about a month since its a consolidated container... OK FINE i get it thats why its cheaper... NOW i get the "official qoute" and its a grand WTF?!?! are you fugin serious? the freight forwarder i used was off by $300-400 dollars wtf is that? jesus christ man im so mad right now... IF they told me it would reach that much i would have ******* air freighted that **** over since last month and got it in ONE DAY

Jon, I am really sorry to hear that about ur hood. How come it doesn't surprise me here on Guam. What shipping company did u use? I would complain to the management of the shipping company. But, aside from that the car is so bad *** I hope we can meet up soon.

well update on the shipping... still havent moved my hood from the port to there main office... the lady was pretty nice... STILL way off but i liked the way she saved me money KINDA.... i was suppose to pay an extra $250 for import tax too... when i found this out i raised hell lol.... so it would have been like $1250 for shipping... final price i almost fainted... i almost lost my kool at that moment... but thankfully she negotiated with her boss and got me exempted from the import tax bull crap and got like almost a hundred off the grand total before the import tax so all i have to pay is around $917

like i said still way off but... im fine with it... (as long as my hood has no scratches or cracks.. im happy) they showed me all the paper works and i made sure they werent pulling numbers outa there asses.... i did mention to her that getting a qoute from them was pretty useless because its not reliable.......

my next headache that im so afraid of shipping in is my exhaust..i hope that thing can fit EMS
