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.

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

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

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.
