I've been looking at getting a Abflug bumper for my Stagea from Japan and getting it shipped over to Aus. I sent them an email asking if they would ship to Australia and they replyed stating they would but it would cost $800-$1000 as they the box is fairly big. I was pretty shocked as i have been looking at bumpers on Import Monster and by there shipping estimate to have a bumper bar sent from Japan to Australia by ship it would only cost $300.

Does this sound right? and would i be better of sourcing my own shipping from Japan to Australia?

Import monster would ship it in a container, not individually, hence the price, which sounds about right. You will be hard pressed getting it cheaper, since the size is the factor here, not weight. Possibly you could contact import monster or slidewize and see if they can ship it for you in their container for a price.

Yeah, already contacted them mate. They've told me they can also source parts from Japan not through the auctions and will happily put it into a container to ive provided them all the errelivant information now im just waiting for a reply.

Now just gotta keep my fingers crossed. Hopefully what was quoted at $1400-$1600 for a bumper with shipping will be under $1000!

I also would go with Importmonster, they have heaps of contacts apart from yahoo.jp, easy friendly people to deal with in my experience & I believe they are in the process of loading a container right now. Leastways thats what they told me a couple of days ago. They do markup 25% but the service is worth it imho.

Goodluck

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
