would it be cheaper to have my cousin in japan with the marines ship over parts for my car? or would it cost about the same because of shipping?

 

The same compared to what??

 

i guess u mean in comparison to buying it here!!

the good parts(reliable) are made in Japan, so i dont see why not!

 

it would be MUCH cheaper for your cousin to ship you parts directly from japan... the markup on jdm parts if frickin rediculous. take for instance ctr headlights from passwordjdm is 500 bucks, if you were to buy them in japan they would be 150 to 200 for the pair.

 

accidental double post...

 

ya i was referring to buying parts from sites as opposed to having him buy them...any idea if the shipping from japan would be expensive?

 

It would be alot cheaper to send your bro to a Japan junk yard and have him go to town. The shipping really isnt all that bad for internation ground shipping.
