Probably wouldn't be THAT much cheaper buying it from HK than here, if you have the hookups. Don't forget about the hassle you have to go through carrying that big box back here, and dealing with customs.. etc

MongKok District...

Then go to Hak Po Street...blocks and blocks of aftermarket shops/accessories/tuner shops.

Check out GP Sports, ask for Alan.
There's also Tom's Accessories, and other shops I can't remember.

Hak Po Street is where you will spend a good full day at...I did.

nothing is cheap in HK.
go to taobao.com (chinese ebay) and you'll find everything you need.

Ex: Spoon CF spoiler for FIT ($100cdn)

Spoon CF spoiler for Civic ($120cdn)

you going to HK? I think most of the info was posted above. Mong Kok (lady street) area has general car accessories (think ricer shops), and car audio. if you wanna get into real tuning shops, you'll need to go to a few different areas of Kowloon as they're spread around. I heard Sai Kong is one of them.

if you wanna shop online, goto parts4euro.com

Super GT Ltd.
