Tropical Island prices

Just a quick experience i want to share with you guys

I live in a small tropical island down in the pacific , and i'm own one of the 2 evos 7 here, ( no evo 8 here yet ) . I'm starting to mod my car , and ordered a stage 1+ signature this week with david. After seeing the Tuner transformation show wich i downloaded , and reading this forum , i became interested in adding a 10.5 hotside. It sounded like a cheap and efficient mod. Seing the prices of this part was only 245$, i figured i may as well see if i can buy this from my local mitsubishi dealer instead of going through the trouble of importing it myself.
So this is it , i jump into my car and go to see the dealer to ask for a quote for this part. He anounced me a nice " You should be expecting around 1600$ for this part sir"

You guys are quiet lucky to live in a big country and have the structures and low prices... I remember when i changed my clutch it cost me 1340 $ here..
Well hopefully we earn more money here than we would in the US , and there's the weather and scenery...

Wait till the customs get me for that
Think i'll have around 1287$ import duty on that stage 1+ signature ( at best , 1600+ at worst )
