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

[808celica]

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

If you really really really love your celica then the clip is worth getting. You can expect to pay around 4,000 to get the clip to your front door. Plus you have to anticipate problems during the swap so that will only cause the total to go up. If your celica is your baby then these numbers won't mean anything to you but if you plan on buying a new car in the near future you will never get back what you put in. As for Keith with rpmgarage he is your best buddy right until he gets the wire transfer and then he isn't to friendly when it comes to any issues after that. Rpmgarage is just like anyother boneyard the history of the vechile is rarely known and you don't really know what your getting yourself into. There is my two cents for what its worth. I forget to mention I bought a clip from rpm last fall.
