body kits in alberta?

Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows where I can find urethane body kits in Alberta. I want to replace my fibreglass front bumper but all I can find online are American sites that are going to kill me on the shipping. I would really like to find a local place where I can pick it up

Oh yeah...

thanks

You're going to have to buy used most likely.

Any shop in Canada is just going to import the kit from those same shops in the states and wrap the shipping charges into the final price.

Or go pick it up yourself - it can be worth it. I ordered about $300 in parts from Himni Racing a couple years ago - shipping to Calgary was going to be about $220. Shipping to a PO address at Montana Shipping Outlet in Sweetgrass was $69. Can I drive 3 hours to the border and back for $150 in gas? Yes I can, even in the 7, let alone one of the more fuel efficient cars. Or make it into a shopping weekend and keep going on down to Great Falls, or a ski weekend and head to Big White.
The plummeting dollar does take away some of the appeal of shopping and ordering in the US.

OMG you're a genius!!! it would cost a little more for me coming from Edmonton but I would be saving about $500 so it would still be worth it. Any advice on easy ways to get a PO box down there?

Just contact Montana Shipping Outlet Montana Shipping Outlet... your resource for professional shipping, receiving, packing and business services!, register for an address at either Sweetgrass or Eureka, supply that address to the shipper (you should verify they will ship to an address other than your credit card home address - or use PayPal and add the MSO address to your address list). They do charge for holding your items, but it's not much. When your stuff arrives, MSO emails you, you head down to claim your stuff.
