I'm going to get them local..., I checked with Tire Rack and they are about the same price as buying them local once I added in the taxes and duty and shipping..., it was within 50.00 and so I would rather not wait for them.

Costco has them for about $200.00 cheaper but I would have to purchase a membership to buy them which is $100.00 so not a real savings there either.

I am looking at the Bridgestone 760 Sport and you wanted the Dunlops..., Actually I'm not sure if the place I am ordering from has the Dunlops but I can check?

Oh and shipping was $135.00 to the front door from Nevada I think it was (tirerack).

^ when I signed up last year I signed for the gold membership..., it was $100.00 and I think I only used it once..., I really haven't looked into what other memberships they have.

There are still gaps here and there and the rear flares didn't give as many millimeters as he said it would. It didn't give me half as much as he said so it was for looks and not really function =S

I figured I didn't need a review thread.. If someone were to buy from them they'd PM me about it and I'd show them the problems I had with it. A few other customers of theirs had issues too. I dunno. I contacted them but no reply yet. If a review thread is needed I'll do my best for one but as for interest in Vancouver about this kit is probably very low.

Thanks vince for suggestions and consoling me =p

@Mike: That's cool.
I know how you feel. I spent 10+ hours of bodywork getting my replica Amuse to fit right. Was such a piss off. Vendor advertised perfect fitment and even the photos showed decent fitment. The actual product was not as advertised.

But Mike does have a point, at the end of the day it's still a replica. You get what you pay for.
