Default Where can I get a Fabulous bodykit from?

I'm thinking about staying with Lexus with my next purchase and with that i'd be going back to a GS (this time a GS430) I searched everywhere and the only place I could find was...

http://l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=962

Now thats $2,655 but if you convert the Yen its only $1,505. Now I KNOW it dosn't cost $1,050 to ship a kit from Japan (or maybe it does and i'm just dumb) I'd want the grill too.

Can anyone help me out?

It does cost about that much...you know that it's an add-on lip kit right? I'm sure l-tunedparts can get the grill for you as well.

It is a pretty sick kit. You could always have it molded on

Yeah, it's hard to tell because the front is molded onto the bumper.

that's baout right, you won't get cheap on the fabulous kits. shipping, customs, fees, and the money carson has to make over you, that's about right. jdm kits are going for a lot of money

Yeah, it can easily cost $1000 to ship a kit to the US. I think besides the actual long distance, you also get charged for "oversized" box which is almost 50% of the cost of the original shipping fee itself. Then you have customs fee to slap on to that, and what little margin your neighborhood dealer needs to make to survive, and you will end up paying quite a hefty sum...
