Everything i've bought has come from forum vendors... Elite Engineering, ADM, and Jannetty Racing...

As far as around here... Mopac may be able to order what you want if you want to go that route.

Ya all my stuff's from the net.

muscle · 09-19-2010, 04:11 PM

so you install them youself or you find a bodyshop?

Rickerbucks · 09-19-2010, 08:18 PM

Mopac tends to be very pricey. I buy all my stuff directly in the US

So you drive down to US or you buy online?

What are you trying to mod? Performance parts will be easier to come by at Mopac, but at a price premium. Cosmetic mods are likely harder to come by locally.

Everything I've done to my Camaro has come from forum vendors. If the vendor can't deliver to Canada, then I get them sent to Blaine, WA and pick them up.

Pypes Cat Back exhaust from Pypes direct.
ARH LT headers, C.A.I. and Diablo tuner from Jannetty Racing.
Interior Trim Kit, car cover, colour matching shark fin and trunk cargo mat from Rodger's Chevrolet.
Various LED lights from AAC Styling direct.
Staggered 20x9 and 20x10 wheels from Speed Depot.
Suspension soon to be supplied by forum vendor direct as soon as I make up my mind.

Buying has been done by exchanging PMs, emails and phone calls with the Forum Vendors. Be aware that it is much easier to buy online or over the phone when your credit card mailing address matches your ship to address. With the strong Loonie, the savings have been very good.

Also, if you have a business address, shipping is much easier. Good Luck.

Bought most my stuff direct from the venders.

BMR
Vararam
MGW
SCT from Janetty Racing Ted is the man for the tune.
Nitto DR's from Discount Tires
MSD stuff from Mopac.

I found that Mopac was close to Jegs and for the most part competive.

I use Ship Happens in Sumas WA. Borders waits way shorter.

I use TSB Shipping in Point Roberts, border wait is a couple mins max, packages are $2-$20 depending on weight size etc... however if you dont plan on paying customs somewhere with a shop is better. There is nothing in Point Roberts, literally 2 gas stations and TSB

Rickerbucks · 09-20-2010, 05:08 PM

I get my stuff shipped to Blaine Enterprises in Blaine. Border is often a PITA though. Do NOT get courier companies to ship over the border. They charge a large premium...
