Post a request in here if you need help to get stuff for your 9g in Australia from either a dealer or Team Mitsubishi Ralliart.

cheers

wow thanks for the hook up.. last time I had someone in Australia look into the rear visor and spoiler, the visor was $130 AU and the spoiler was $230AU.. i believe those prices were direct from a dealership.. i'd definitely be interested in a spoiler.. my Ralliart is Kalapan Black which I'm pretty sure Mitsubishi has used the same black forever.. shipping to area code 01960?

and i would be interested in some TMR parts as well probably down the road.. i contacted them to see if I could get a rear bumper but never heard back... doable?

You better give me more than "area code 01960" as a destination, because Australian Postal workers will just give me dumb looks at the counter with that as the destination.

I need something like..."Texas" or "Arizona" etc....:003:

The names are different and the steering wheel will be on the wrong side but you'll get the idea....

This is an excellent forum with mainly adults who are friendly where you can get some help.

^^ that looks pretty awesome...

with regards to parts, i live in Peabody Massachusetts.. i'd probably be purchasing a rear spoiler before that TMR rear bumper but at the very least i'd like to know a price since they never got back to me when i emailed them

when you say rear bumper...do you mean the entire rear bumper with dual exhaust cutouts etc?

(the exhaust cutouts can be bought seperately and are simply carbon fibre "U" sections)

Thanks for the info.

Rayth

thanks for the link.. i've contacted them to see about shipping to the united states...

with regards to the rear bumper, i'm planning on doing a custom dual exhaust set up so i suppose the dual exhaust cutouts would really be all i need.. the only other thing is the fact that i am working on a custom front lip so i don't know if the stock rear bumper will flow with it... oh, and is the TMR bumper urethane or fiberglass?

Rayht I emailed them as well. When you get the cost let me know and we can compare $$$. I might be cheaper to order them together.

Sorry about the NZ crowd fellas....when they say they ship overseas they mean to australia from New Zealand only.

I got pricing a few minutes ago from an Aus dealer.

They now come only unpainted and retail for $225 Australian which converted today is...

$176 US....

Then we have to add shipping costs which i need to find out tomorrow.

Sit tight, will get all the $$$ numbers for you soon.....

BTW...there are ten thousand in stock, so will not be in short supply...

appreciate the help as always... and it may be cheaper to ship both in one package and split them when they get to one of us in the U.S... just a thought

Speak for yourself. I am hoping to be ready for paint in about 2-3 weeks. I hate driving around with the front end busted up.

Just joking. Let up know when you find out something.

redblower

Some info for you guys.

Using standard post the cost of postage is about $US150 per spoiler to Texas......by first class AIR MAIL....!!!

BUT....the maximum sized postal item is 140cm.

You wouldn't believe it...the spoiler is 147cm and my local post office will NOT do it....that's about 3 inches too long.

I need to make a few calls to get an executive decision somewhere....somewhere...

Maybe I can cut it in half.....?.....LOL

Seriously, I am looking at packaging so the spoiler sits in diagonal fashion in the box to mitigate the length.
The cost is calculated purely by weight....

i believe it.... people thought i was crazy for the price i paid for mine. Bulk shipping is the way to go, fyi

Rayth

07-20-2009, 08:31 PM

we might be able to get a few more people involved if it would put us in a different shipping situation or if it will split the shipping costs to make it more reasonable

redblower

07-21-2009, 12:06 AM

If you can muster up say...10 spoilers for a bulk buy, then it would give the ability to negotiate a better price from mitsubishi also.

looks like at the moment you are looking at around US$480 per spoiler delivered.

(cost plus postage)

Of course it would be wise to take out an extra US$100 for insurance.

You would still need to paint it, it comes in black undercoat.
