fiberglass tonneau cover

[TasGT]

I actually had a couple rock chips on the edge of my hood so I had my hood painted along with tonneau and spoiler at the same time and it was $1,800. I had some paint correction done and it is currently getting the front clip PPF. I think it came out killer.

Looks stunning, I wish there was an Aussie importer for these

Clinched Flares in the US do ship to Australia. The price does add up but at least we have the option and I'll definitely be taking it up.

Cheers, has seen their site but I shudder think what freight will cost for such a large item. The cost converts to AU$1800.00 then add import duty and freight , but they look stunning

It's $699 USD to ship to Aus /NZ so it'd be about $2k USD all up, a lot when converted to AUD. Of course, you'd also have to add in the cost of colour matching it if you wanted to. I'm still convinced to get it though and being a removable item also has it's advantages. It just transforms the look of an already great looking vehicle into something really special.

Man sorry about that, yeah I love it for sure.

I've just ordered one. Find yourself a freight forwarder and it will save you a small fortune - particularly if you regularly buy stuff from the States.

I use MyUS.

Please keep us updated, I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks on your RHD car.

Hi Will
I also use MyUS services, can you let me know what they charge you for freight in this, once they have it and work out a price?
I am envious
cheers jb

$443.05 USD was the shipping to QLD.

I bought mine from Summit Racing, they only charged $60 internal shipping vs $199 directly from Clinched, so take that into account if you want to get one.

$1802.05 USD is my total delivered cost.

Now to find a good paint shop for when it arrives....

Thanks Will
Can’t wait to see the photos and your report on its ease and speed of fitting and removal

Yeah the shipping cost was high but absolutely worth it in my opinion. Got mine shipped to Australia early 2020. You can see some pics on my insta to show how they look on a RHD: @redpony69

I also have a short video on youtube:

I ended up getting stung quite badly with import duties, which reminded me why I was always 'careful' with the paperwork in the past for more expensive items.

Anyway, it should be here next week, then I'll take it in to get painted Oxford White. My hood had to be replaced under warranty, but the panel shop has to redo the paint due to a defect they identified, so I'll probably give them the spider cover to do as a paid job.

It may be another month before it's all fitted and painted, but I'll be sure to post the results.

Yeah! the import duties really suck!!! Just from experience, I'd suggest to test install the spider cover to ensure that the fitment is to satisfaction as I had to make some small tweaks with a dremel. This way you'll have a fully functional and perfectly aligned and fitted spider cover otherwise it could be a pain once they are painted. Can't wait to see your ride after the install. All the best! cheers

Thanks for the tip, I will do that.

Just out of curiosity, was it fitting the side covers that needed tweaking, or other areas too?
