Anyone have a large box that they received some sideskirts/bumper or something in? I need to ship my buddy back in Ohio a set of sideskirts and a rear lip for his RX-8 - was hoping someone had a box they'd be willing to give me - if you have something, let me know...

otherwise i am gonna have to go mcguyver on some old boxes...

 

Sorry, nothing here.

Try a local grocery store, usually at night when they replenish stock. I've always been able to get boxes of varying sizes and shapes from HEB when we move.

Otherwise, is the sideskirt/lip made of polyurethane? If so, you can bend those and it will regain it's shape after a couple of days (or heating with a hair dryer). IIRC, Stillen used to ship some of their polyurethane lips like this. If unsure, don't do it, or you may break those things if it's made of FG or ABS.

 

Call these guys and tell them the dimensions you need to ship. They may have something that will work for you. Reasonably priced. Local.

Awesome - thanks guys! I will check the HEB and that website

 

what're the dimensions that you need? I can see if my friend's job has some boxes laying around

 

If it's urethane, you can always fold it... hah! j/p don't

 

try furniture stores,alot of times they just recycle their big boxes,im sur they would care less if u took one.

 

If the body kit is poly then you can just wrap it really good with a bunch of layers of bubble tape. I shipped an OEM lip that way and received a rear bumper packed like that with no issues.
