Power Play Import Prices

[R34NRG]

far out ive never seen a site more over priced then these guys. i dont know the story as to why everything is so expensive but they have the goods and only they have it.

ive herd their quality is very good but far out some of their items are 4x more expensive then other places. ive been looking for a bonnet to fit the bonnet lip.

does anyone else know where i can get it? cuz i think 500 for a peice of plastic and 2grand for a bonnet with the front cut off...is a bit to much

[blk180]

Not sure about the lip but power play sell real carbon firbre products unlike most. a least one person here works there(nik-Tosh).

Most of their products are genuine FRP products eg: East bear and not cheap copies. They are afterall a business out to make money like any business...ppl who have the cash still buy them...you get what u pay for at the end of the day. But if you smart shop..."some" of the stuff on there you can get cheaper elsewhere...

[scathing]

The other thing is that they actually pay import duties and GST on goods. And when I say "they", I of course mean "you".

Certain other brokers, who will remain nameless, do their best to avoid you having to pay said monies so the perceived cost is less and so their business increases. That's why they can afford to sell you stuff so much cheaper than PowerPlay, because they don't have the same "overheads".

The responsibility for meeting Customs requirements is up to you. You can try blame the broker for not telling you or including it in the purchase cost, but ultimately when the taxman goes hunting you will be the target.

Whether they will prosecute you for evading to payment of duties on top of making you pay what is owed to the government is something I am not quite as familiar with. You take your chances....

powerplay I found were very good on their prices for what Ive been looking at

[Kennedy]

Powerplay strictly host "Genuine high quality" products such as Nismo, East Bear, ELF etc etc. I find they are one of the cheapest australia suppliers of genuine Jap/JDM parts.

[Mr Italy!]

My mate bought an N1 block from them, for a very nice price. They're good people, you can trust them.

I would be over the moon if I could find the bonnet I wanted for a measley 2k. If you want good stuff you pay big money it's a fact of life i'm afraid.

There are some cheaper options i'm sure. Powerplay will also backup there products with after sales support and warranty. Can't say that for Joe blogs working out of his lounge room.

Thank You guys, your support is much appreciated

I don't think I need to elaborate on anything that has already been said, everything that the guys have said is true.

Thanks again guys

anDru - I highly doubt you have ever tried to import high quality expensive Japanese parts from Japan, so you really dont know what your talking about.

As an example like Sewid said, I would and will happily pay $2k for a genuine East Bear carbon bonnet from Powerplay. These bonnets in particular cost over $1000 AUD to buy in Japan, shipping is very expensive, then there is GST, import duty and all the other costs associated with legitimately importing parts in Australia.

You pay for what you get, one day you might figure that out.

If you want to pay $500 for some cheap ass flimsy fibreglass bar for your GTT go right ahead Nobody here will loose any sleep over it.

i got my kit from powerplay and the fit quality was amazing and the communication was so much better then the rest . Like most ppl have said you get what you pay for.

If you look under the gallery section on powerplayes website you will see heaps of pics of my car

Tosh,

Can u PM me ur best price for the east bear LIP for the GTT with a standard front bumper delivered to Brissie 4113 as in the pics...

Thanks

[sewid]

If you've ever seriously thought about importing a CF bonnet from Japan as well you'd know that getting one here is a huge roll of the dice.

They are far too large to come by post so must be put into a container. Even if packed right there is a big chance the corners or nose will be damaged or chipped and lets face it, you're not going to want to pay for it if it arrives broken.

Powerplay sort that for you and will take care that it's packed in the container right and that it will arrive in good condition for you to bolt on.
