Does anyone know where I can get one of these? Had a look at importing one from the US from rspeed but the shipping costs are outrageous!
Any ideas?

You did well to get an answer from them. I tried twice but didn't get a reply. Can I ask how much they wanted for postage?

Will try and dig up the emails.
Ah crap, I think I deleted them. Anyway, it was a lot - like about $300 dollars!
I wanted to get in on the group buy through miata.net; $US170 was the asking price I believe.

I've also seen this website
Clicky for link to JapanpartsIf you're talking about the Garage Vary NA Front Lip I was having a look at it before and I think the Urethane (a.k.a. black plastic) one came out to 420ish delivered? (can't really remember because it was a long time ago when I did the sums)

$420 for a lip that's going to be grazed and stone chipped?!

I just checked their website and prices. Geez they're expensive.
MX5parts UK are far cheaper (even after the conversation of the exchange rates to OZ$).

Can you pick out one of the reasons I didn't end up buying it?
It was hard enough parting with $300 for the OEM front lip... some aftermarket bars don't even go for much more than that...
(and I've grounded it twice...

)
Hmmm... those prices are all the catalogue prices in Japan though?
Shipping as always sets you back an arm and a leg...
You have to pay for the JDMness I guess...

Yep, that's the one. Looks like no matter where it's coming from shipping costs are going to be pretty expensive.
Thanks for the help.
