Bl**dy shipping costs was more than the items themselves (pays off to make a bigger order).

Shipping $249.70 (UPS - 4 days)
VAT & Customs €68.xx

Surprised how low the VAT and Customs was on this....

Well, I want my things now, not in 2 months..... ;)

So far, have new wheels, the OEM strut braces, LED bulbs, number plate holders & frames, OEM rubber mats and more coming :D

Considering strips (matt black), Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs and will do for sure tinting of the back windows.

I'm also interested in some mods, (mainly aesthetics and interiors) but in no way I will throw away all these money in shipping and customs :)
Probably I will buy from US only the OEM sunvisor with garage door opener and the redline hood struts, since are small parts and should have low shipping costs (I hope).

I'm also interested in US fog, parking and turning lights (ours are different): I found the entire assembly on ebay for 450$ but have to be sure they will fit..

ugly nickel wheels

Well, Received today my Corsa Extrem Catback system for my Pony :headbang::headbang::headbang:

And also ordered and received the Black Ford Performance wheels because I really don't like the ugly nickel chrome wheels :barf:
They are good enough for the Winter :lol:

What will you do first over your Pony ?

I want to change the exhaust on the EB, can't decide which one. My favorites are:

Magnaflow Street
Magnaflow Competition
MBRP Street
MBRP Race

MBRP Race sounds the best IMO, I'm worried about the volume level tho. The same goes with the Competition series. All of them offer a deeper sound. Videos are not enough to evaluate the volume, I would like to hear them live. Anyone planning to buy one of them?

For $250 shipping you can buy half a plane ticket to Florida and get them yourself at Steeda :)

Yes, it's called "Sardine Class" and if you are lucky, you may even get there this year... a bit like our Mustangs then :lol:

Seriously though, $250 in shipping cost is considerable amount, but if you buy many things, it's still the same cost.

Btw, CJ Pony Parts are only a couple of hours drive away from Washington DC so I may pay them a visit next time I am over there.

I use to ship with this Company if it is bigger parts, cars, wheels, hoods etc.
http://www.shippingcarsrus.com/
Send them an email and ask if they deliver to you country, I know they send some cars to Netherlands.
But it can take some time to get the parts...

If you are in a hurry this is better: https://de.shipito.com/
If you get the virtual mailbox you can make your own invoice for the custom declaration so you don´t have to pay tax for the domestic transport in the US...

Hi Tom, the nickel wheels are exactly the same as the black ones.
But on my white Pony it not looks good. For the contrast I really prefer the black ones.

Here a picture (sorry I don't have a better picture).
