romcarusa,

I've moved your post to the tech section, you posted an intro earlier.

That's quite an undertaking keep us posted on the progress, will Tony be sending you pics?
How was it shipped, container, ro-ro?

Waited for more than one year, did nothing on the car...just staring on Paragon website and Tony's work..like somebody mention on forum "Tony is a God"
Hope he will have time to take some pics for me...
I shipped the car in a container along with 2 more cars...I did not care how will get there as long all the body will be work on...on the way back for sure will take a 20 foot container an put the car by itself
And Tony was kind enough to help me with the pick up from the port

What's an estimated cost for the shipping alone?
I did the same thing, constantly finding myself on his web page coveting those kits. But if my car hadn't needed some major mechanical issues solved, I would have at least gotten the parts shipped here.
Good luck and look forward to pics!

philhef,

it cost me 995.00$ from NJ to Uk. There you have to pay unloading fees. I paid another 800.00$. They where kind enough ( this also with the help from Tony at Paragon) to waive the temporary import charges ( you get them back when the car leaves EU if they end up charging you).
But the estimate for the labor is the same like in the States and nobody wanted to do the rear bumper and when I found somebody to do it, they estimated me triple than Paragon...so I was who know better than Tony in UK

Isn't it the return container quite expensive?

Which rear bumper style did your US guys not want to install?
