OKAY I hope this thread finds all you Canadians out there.
Wanted to start a thread to discuss where you get your aftermarket mods from.
As you all are very aware it's hard to source places up here.
So far all my mods (only 2 so far) have been shipped up by the US.
Just wondering if any body knows good sources up here.
Feel free to post pics of your G,s.
Cheers n beers

I'm super late to this post but lightspeedinnovations carries a lot of good parts including coilovers, catbacks etc, they're located in red deer, the prices are good too if you decide to pick it up at the store they give you a nice discount.
I'm in vancouver, BC. Usually here we order parts to a parcel box across the border and we go pick them up. This saves a fair amount on shipping and often we don't even get charged duties as long as its not over about 500$.

Same over in the GTA, I used to use a drop shipper in Buffalo or in Detroit when I'm out in Windsor and order from american websites for many things. I've never been asked to pay duties on anything at the border, but if its over $200.00 usually you have to pay GST but its at the discretion of the Officer. more recently I've pretty much been sticking to Rockauto and Amazon Canada as they tend to have the best prices and include shipping and duties but ebay has been good for this now too b/c they have the global shipping option which gives all in pricing....Unfortunately the local options (except Amazon Canada) tend to not be even close to being competitive on most things so these have been my go to.
that being said J Spec has been decent for some stuff, but Touge Tuning in Mississauga has G specific items and is really good price wise. Other than that Whitehead Performance is really good for prices and service they are amazing and they are Z/G specialists, the only thing is with them they are so busy you can't get them on the phone and they aren't good with email replies so you have to go in but when you do they are great.

Haha yeah, and I heard if you have the nexus pass they are more lenient towards you and just tell you to go even if your bringing back expensive items (or sometimes they do not even ask how much it is). Just applying for my nexus pass for next summer hoping it will help me out when i bring over expensive parts.
