Reputable vendors for LCI M-Sport Bumper to Canada?

justalilbit · 04-20-2016, 01:16 PM

Title says it all, I live in BC Canada and I'm looking for said bumper (E92 coupe, LCI M Sport bumper). Which vendors have you guys had good experiences with? (Even if you aren't in Canada/never shipped one there, as long as they will ship there) I tried Umnitza once but it was quite a hassle, took 4 weeks for them to *start* shipping and things got here damaged... as many reviews warned me of.

Extremeparts.ca?

No personal experience with them

Thanks but I went ahead and ordered one from the stealership for a reasonable price ($1100 CAD). Oem non replicated and I don't have to pay 500 dollars shipping/customs

Is that painted? I think you could score a replica for $400-450 unpainted.

$1100 for oem doesn't sound bad. Sounds excellent if it is painted.

Not painted, I knew going in I would have to pay a premium like anything at the dealership. But I was checking around some vendors, $600 USD = $750+ CAD for LCI. They include fog supports and grids, but every quote on shipping I got was over $300 dollars USD and "likely another $100" to cross the border. Meanwhile at the dealer, fog supports were only $20 each, grids $50. The parts manager gave me a nice discount too so all-in-all it was only a small hit for more peace of mind. Also, I read too many bad reviews of extremeparts to trust them

Are you far from the border? I normally ship to the border and pick it up. Have never had to pay customs fees/taxes either. Think about it for next time.

Vancouver Island, so it'd be $100 for the ferry

You're still saving money though. I know others on the island do that.

I'll have to remember that then, next time I order something. Thanks
