'sup guys

was just wondering, since shipping to hawaii is somewhat expensive most of the time, where do you guys buy your stuff?

would it be the same if i were to buy bodykits here, like from kitworx or should i just stick w/ the marketplace for everything i need?

just wondering.

i buy most of my stuff off ebay even with shipping its usually cheaper then most shops here. or what i do is price it online with shipping and see if any local shops will give it to me for that price.

Just look for vendors that ship US Postal System Priority Mail. Faster than USPS 3-day, and a hell of a lot cheaper.

^^ most vendors or sellers usually ship out usps.. also ask for delivery confirmation with your order.. even if they make you pay for it. well worth it..

I never bought locally. I bought through Bulletproof Automotive. There are others cheaper, but I wanted to make sure I had a good kit with good fitment.

Actually this is the perfect thread for me to bring this up. I work at R&D Automotive (formally Vakamon Motorsports). I work up stairs in sales and I thought I can arrange something for our G community. I got the okay to put together monthly group orders. By doing group orders we can cut down on shipping and give everyone a cheaper price. Like maybe one month it will be a certain brand and the next another. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and maybe if you can tell me what brands all of you are interesed in. You can call me at the shop from 9 to 5 everyday except Sunday. The number is 808 593-7455. Ask for Scott.
