CF hood in Canada

jotapeh · 05-03-2010, 02:24 PM

Just curious if anyone has imported one of these? I've been looking around and obviously all the retailers are in the states. What's the hit for bringing it across customs I'm looking at here?

I've got quite a few dings in my OEM hood and rather than pay to touch it up I'd like to just swap out for CF...

Cool - I will PM him - I think a CF hood would go smashing on a Sedona Red car.. then again obviously you must think the same

the 15i has weird fenders that do not suit a off color hood. cant explain it to well but i'm againts it.

price+duty(6.1% of price)+shipping(insurance). Don't ship UPS and you avoid their bullshit brokerage service fee

by 15i did you mean 135i? I know the bumpers are slightly different on the two... and I run a 128i, I think it would look good on it tbh.. just my 2¢

thanks for the 6.1% figure, I will factor that in when pricing it out.

i meant 135i sorry.
I just don't think the 1series have enough hood relesate when compared to the fenders a cf comes off looking weird. Just my personal opinion. I know different strokes for different folks.
