But the longer its advertised the more people we get in and the more we save. Why don't we try getting 10. Cheaper lah

Why would duty not apply? Methinks more research is needed.

Under the AUSFTA, trade in automotive parts and accessories between Australia and the United States became tariff free from 1 January 2005.

5 frame rails $230AU ea plus GST (worst case $300ish).

5 butterfly braces: $482AU ea plus GST (worst case - $600ish)

so those prices are without shipping right???

Including shipping, not including tax (which wipes out the discount).

Include installation and thats $689ish...if mania sell it for 800 including installation then its not that much of a saving and perhaps not worth the effort. Although it would take mania more than 2 weeks to get it shipped in I'd say.

Are mania willing to give us a discount?

I'd suggest not waiting too much longer so we make the most of the US dollar at the moment. It's really quite a reasonable price considering the strength of the dollar at the moment.

No, they include shipping, GST is 10% so adding it at todays AU$.

Frame rails are approx AU$253.

Butterfly brace is approx AU$530

Trying to build in some buffer for currency fluctuations so am suggesting a worst case including shipping and GST of approx $300AU for the rails and $600 for the brace. These prices are delivered to one address in Sydney too, so keep that in mind if your not in Sydney.

If your interested start a list and put your name down with either frame rails or butterfly brace. Least we'll have some definate numbers to work with.

Might be worth giving the customs office a ring to be on the safe side re:duty... :/

BAM!

I agree with Alfadog too. A phone call isn't expensive, and might save us a world of grief when it comes time to pick them up.
