Hello everyone!
Im new to the forum and to the aftermarket car scene in general and Im looking for advice on the best approach to getting aftermarket parts for a decent price.
I've looked around online a lot and I've visited a local performance shop as well - Im kind of blown away at the cost of some things. Maybe its just sticker shock because Im new but Im wondering if I should expect the prices on places American Muscle and CJ Pony to be par for the course?
The best example I can think of is RTR. I really like their grille and spoiler but that's going to be ~$1000 USD (Im in Canada). At the same time I can see knock-off items for a fraction of that. I don't want "cheap" parts but I'd like to know that Im spending no more than I have to if I want to keep modding my car.
Any advice from more seasoned modders would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!

- Does there tend to be better times to buy? Black Friday/July 4th etc?
- Would I be better off shopping around local stores?
- What about buying things at shows or used?
- Any other tips?
