european parts has cheaper prices because shipping, customs and duties are not factored in... and a lot of the time they are not "COMPLETE" kits, you need to buy a lot of the little parts seperately which can and will increase the price quiet quickly! which is the case for the RS parts you have choosen:
Quote:from euro-parts.net:
1998 RS Edition Front Bumper Cover 289.00EUR
Taken from the European Ford accessories program, made of Polyurethane this is just the bumper without fog lights, grille or mounting hardware. Modifications to the front rebar are required on some US cars to clear the turn signal indicators. Turn indicators are also required, please see lights section. There is a DTM lip available from Stoffler Autotechnik as well for 119â¬. Made in Germany, approved by the TÃV. Shipping Note: Flatrate shipping price available for only 129 EUR to any international airport!
you are also most likely using direct market exchange to get your price listed above. that wont be how much you pay as even banks do not give that sort of exchange rate. tack on an extra 5-15% and you will get a much more realistic price to what you will actually pay.
if you priced it out with the "KITS" you'd come out to $1357euro or $2150cnd using direct market exchange without tax.
a more accurate number would be $2250-2300cnd with an exchange rate you would get from paypal or a creditcard company. Plus tax, plus duties, plus customs brokerage you are easily looking at over $2500-2700 and then there is shipping... $130euro or about $225cnd) flat rate from euro-parts.net per bumper to a major International airport(you pick-up). side skirts will usually cost more than the bumper to ship for some strange reason.... so we'll just cal it the same for the sake of argument, $225cnd.
to ship the headlights, you are usually looking at about $80-130cnd/pair
so in total you are looking at another $700-900cnd on shipping and possibly plus tax on that too AND you have to go pick it up at a MAJOR international airport, not a big deal if you live in TO, Ottawa, Montreal or Vancouver.
please remember my prices are landed prices so customs and duties are already factored in.
the 98 RS complete front bumper will be around: $950cnd (includes: front bumper, fog lights, indicators, stainless steel lower grille, tow hook cover)
the 98 RS rear bumper will be about: $800cnd (includes: rear bumper, stainless steel rear grille, reverse light, rear fog light)
98 RS Side skirts will be about: $495-515cnd
the ST170s will be about: $495cnd
what about grills?
i just got new pricing on the standard grills...
the Stainless steel mesh RS upper grill to match the mesh in your bumpers is $450cnd :blink: :o
98-01 trend upper grills are $90cnd
02+ trend upper grills are $90cnd
02+ ST170 grills with paintable trim piece are $160cnd
i am putting together an order right now with my new supplier and should have the parts in my hands by jan if all goes well.
if you would like your stuff for march, i would suggest making a deposit so i can order it in on this shipment otherwise you would have to wait till late spring for my next order!
deposits would need to be 50% of total value.
if anyone else is looking for parts, please do the same. a deposit means you are 100% getting something i order. no deposit means parts go to the first person with money in hand!
i have about 6 sets of STs and 3 sets of 02 headlights coming in for stock but they probably will go within a few weeks!
