How bad would shipping to NorCal be? 94597 to be exact.

Very interested in this; thanks for setting it up.

I just tried on UPS website and it came to $120 for ground. Basically more then what it's worth. Dimensions used were 60x40x6.

Just a note, the dimensions for the box were with quite a bit of packaging material. One MAY be able to cut down the dimensions slightly, if someone decided to open and repackage the components into a smaller box. I know for sure the thickness dimension can be reduced, possibly also the length.

i'm not sure why the shipping was only $90 for a single order back when they just released these panels for sale.

maybe a price mistake.

I do believe they misquoted for the shipping originally. I used to do quite a few overseas shipments in large boxes, and what they charged for the box I received was ridiculously low.

yeah, that's what i figured too when i originally saw the $90 quote.

i mean, it's $40 shipping for the 3lbs jdm tips. it just didn't make sense that it would only cost $90 to ship something that's half the length of the car. i wish i bought them when they had the misquote lol.

In the original thread there was 1-2 people from NorCal that was interested in doing a GB. If you can get them to join in you would be all set

How heavy are they? I mean how much weight will be added to the car? I guess I am interested but i guess it must need a shop to install them. How much would they normally charge? Like couple hours to install at most?
