If the price could be $200-$250 I'd buy one. Ofcourse a bumper from a junkyard in japan is $50, I don't think we should be paying several times that plus shipping. But hey, I don't know how much they are over there.

the problem is the intial cost... The previous GB had the right idea..... Import one and then use that one as a template for a mold to create duplicates in the states... No shipping on a large # of bumpers, and no import fees or anything. It fell thru b/c of not enough ppl with the cash to back the interest if I remember correctly.

Well I for one don't like putting out money to show I'm interested. I would rather see the product and buy it, not send money to be able to buy it.

thats the problem, and why the first one failed if memory serves... importing stuff is like a business.. you need a good amount of $$$ to get started. The problem is if we as buyers dont pay before, then someone has to pay before they get shipped and that creates a middle man. Dave on our site is a really good importer and get alot of cool ****, but he cant afford to buy all this stuff then sell it to us. He keeps it cheap by showing us the auction and then we pay him and he gets it here for us. This keeps that middle man price down (in daves case he is a good samartin (sp?) with tooo much free time to look at overseas auctions)

shipping is a flat rate at USD250 to anywhere in the world. For usd250 i can ship 3-4 engines, 7-10 gearboxes, 1 halfcut, 10 bumpers & strut bars, 3-4 pairs of seats, 2-4 sets of sport rims.
This is just some idea for you guys and i actually have shipped items like the above out b4. So in conclusion, for the price of USD250, make full use of it either by sharing and splitting the shipping costs or shipping more than 1 items along.
regards
