I can compare cause they're a dime a dozen here and not desirable. We'd probably think the USDM bumpers were quite cool because they are different :)

Totally understandable but your car factory comes with a nice front bumper,nice sides,nice rear lip, killer fog lights, etc etc etc etc our cars here no rear lip, no sides, an ok front bumper etc etc, no VR4 option, no 5spd option nothing... everything is a swap for us.. sorry I'm not trying to change anything its your car and your taste.. you just have something that people here really would love to have since Mitsu US sucks

Well since the bumpers are quite common, if anyone is willing to pay the horrendous shipping, I don't mind picking one up from the local pick a part.

I still got the factory side skirts also sitting in the garage...can't sell them here, no one wants them. So yeah.

You are crazy, lady. lol

How about this, you can have my 8Gb USDM front bumper, if you send me one of those dime a dozen VR4 front bumper, grille and fogs? Preferably the old style. :D

Why? I've got the bumper I wanted now, so it would be superfluous to my needs.

Besides the fact I was quoted $350US for a set of headlights just to ship...so I'd shudder to think what it would cost to send a bumper.

You mean the prefacelift when you say old? It's what I just sold :) Can get them from pick a part for like $30 or something NZ. Facelift are harder to find. There were three Legnum VR4s at ONE of our pick a part the other day, we got some manual bits off one of them.

Haha sounds like a plan Skyforger!

Get as many bumpers as possible, with fogs. Put them in a huge container and ship to someone here. $$$ lol

If I win the Lotto, it's so happening. lol

But you have to visit the 'States at least once in your lifetime. I may be biased being a fellow New Yorker, but visit Manhattan, and veture out by Long Island...there isn't any other place like it in the world, mainly Manhattan.

My plan is to buy a house. IMO OE's have never appealed to me.

I don't even have a passport, never been outta NZ (though travelled the entire of NZ). One day planning to visit some mates in Aus, maybe one day when I've got my house and living comfortably, but that's a big maybe.

$350 for a set of headlights shipping?

That can't be right, I have sent them into the states plenty of times and it has cost a max of $100NZD. Someone must be ripping people off for shipping big time lol

Also, just to note, to send a bumper, side skirts, headlights and a couple of other bits in one go cost me about a grand last time.

And Jas: nice steering wheel =D You know my work sells MOMO aye?
