Where do you guys order your performance parts from?

Well, I plan to start modding my 1994 Trans Am a bit. I would rather not pay for parts to be shipped over the border as then shipping is rather expensive, and you never know when customs is going to tack on a nice large bill.

So where do my fellow BC'ers order performance parts from? (For an LT1) I'm looking for an exhaust, intake, headers.

And if anyone has *anything* used for an LT1 that would upgrade it from stock, send me a PM. Wheels, tires, intake, headers, suspension, anything.

I live in Kamloops, but am willing to take a trip down to Vancouver or any other area's close by to pick up some goodies.

Thanks!

Re: Where do you guys order your performance parts from?

I've recently just shipped parts to TSB Shipping in Point Roberts.

Drove across the boarder, picked 'em up and drove back. I declared everything I bought, paid 7% tax on it, and still saved 100' s of dollars from ordering locally...

--
edit... hmmm, maybe they did charge me full pst/gst? I can't remember... but maybe your right Shaun... But regardless of tax, it was still WAY cheaper then local, and WAY cheaper then having it shipped directly to Canada and having to deal with UPS/Fed-Ex brokerage fees and such

hmmm

they SHOULD be charging you PST and GST, but that what I do. Ship to Blaine and go pick it up and declare it.

Stick around these boards though, some parts come up for sale

from kamloops to point bob isn't really worth it, unless its a big thing, with bigger than not savings...

for 'most' stuff, mopac is ok, they can get most stuff for you...

other than that, if its imperative to get it from the states, point roberts has plenty of shipping places.. but, i'd buy multiple things, to make your trip worth while

Ive ordered a bunch of things from www.fasttoys.net They were really good to deal with and I had my stuff in 2 weeks. And their prices are comparable to almost everyone else.
