that rear bumper looks really good. if its made of urethane then i'll get it. so yeah, just get a pricing on the fog lights and rear bumper, i'd be interested in both.

ps: by the way, thank you for trying to help us USDM lancers. we appreciate it.

Yeah I just got my Apex installed and both my front and rear reinforcemnt bars had to come off. Also how much does that grill run for it would prolly be cheaper to paint the ones we have but just wondering or mayb you know somone that would like to trade for a U.S. grill.

Ok. pricing is as follows:

Rear bumper (colour matched) - $265usd
Grille (colour matched) - $144
fog lights - $300usd (each)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I thought these parts would be much cheaper over here.

Make sure you can get the australian reinforcement bar, so there is SOMETHING there, not just a bumper.

sorry bro but aus/japan cars have JDM rear, they don't have reinforcement bars because its not required... we in the US need them because people don't know how to drive.

also shipping is going to cost a sacrifice... so look in to that there's customs tax and other bull **** you have to pay... I was going to ship side skirts until a found out it was about 300-500 in just shipping and taxes...

Hehehe about the people not being able to drive

Ouch. Shipping shouldnt be that much, I regularly ship servers to and from the US, 20kgs runs about $200aud ($110usd) for 3 day express delivery. US taxes / duties im not sure on, we're excluded from them because our business operates outside the US. Arn't online transactions taxfree in the US ?

Maybe a friendly dealer over here could mark them as a "gift" for you

Please get me in contact with that friendly dealer! I really want those fog lights, but I don't want to pay as much in shipping as I do in purchasing the lights themselves. Thanks for the info so far.

If a group of you can get together a decent sized order, I could pick them up from the dealer then ship to one address in the US using my fedex/ups account, then one of you can send them to the rest in the group at the much lower US shipping rates. In return I want the US style rear antenna, so if someone can get me a price i'd be happy to do this. Our antenna sucks
