What a coincidence... I was just gonna call you about this.. So what was the cost (including taxes, import assistance, etc.) to buy this bad boy?

Dam, is that how it came! All thrown in a box together not even protected from eachother. Oh well, its all made out to steel, the worse thing that could happen is that you scratch the nice yellow paint on it.

You better get going. We are waiting for pics. Good luck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Funny..

The manual is about 20 pages. limited text on each. Just a side note kinda to the pics. I'm sure any translation would help. I'll hope to have it scaned by the weekend.

I haven't had much time to really look at it. It's heavy though. The steel used is really thick. The yellow paint looks like it way sprayed on.(thick) Wondering if I should powder coat them or just put it on the way it is.$$$

it endend up being exactly $306.96(customs+forwarder)fees. Then there was the stupid $45 "fork lift" fee at the wherehouse. The box was laying on the ground in fron of me but the wouldn't let me pick it unless I paid for the "fork lift" fee. So I paid the wherehouse and the fork lift moved it a whole 15ft to my truck where then I picked it up. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

the lift was about
lift $1079.30
shipping $ 276.10
customs $ 306.96 ($75 of it was forwarder)
forklift $ 45.00

total- $1707.36

Ok.. looks like I'll be biting another bullet. I'll be ordering the 4.90's for it. I'm going to be talking to a local mitsu dealer guy that I met at the MOD. Should be able to get a discount. If not I'm going to use carlos's guy. Should take no longer then 1 week for it to get here. after that I will set up a time for the install of everything. So keep your panties on for now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />

Man those pics rule way better then some of the english lift kits I've installed here at the shop. Pics alone tell the install from what i see very nice. Don't know if you have ever installed a kit before but sometimes holes don't always match up and pry bar may need to be used or mods to the kit.
