People who bought front clips, shine some light on me Options

Okay im trying to convince my dad that instead of a rebuild, a 3sgte swap is a better route.

Already contacted RpmGarage and they gave me quotes on shipping and other stuff.

Those who ordered front clips or took part in the process of someone ordering a clip know how long it took? Also their experience with Customs, taxes and fees, getting the clip from point A to point be.

They told me the clip would be in Hawaii in 3-5 weeks (pretty damn fast ) but i would have to battle through Customs and taxes and all that good stuff Then there's getting the clip loaded and driven oh....35 miles to my house where the magic is supposed to happen

Soo...........share with me. Make me feel more confident in getting the clip

Also so i can show this to my pops <--will delete this sentence after

rpm garage sells good stuff, but he is expensive, and his shipping is killer.

if you know what to look for, a nice complete engine set would work perfectly, and would save some $ on shipping in your case since its going to the islands.

i'd look for a nice clean 3rd gen setup, search around to make sure you know exactly everything you will need.
a clip is really the easiest way to ensure you get everything you need, but again, if you know exactly what you need, and know for sure everything is included, its usually cheaper that way, and cheaper to ship.

trust me man, doing the swap is 110% worth it, provided your willing to put in the time, money and effort to do it right the first time.
otherwise, you'll end up spending 2X as much in the long run replacing and fixing things that could and should have been done right the first time.
