Side skirt and front spoiler.

Anyone know where to source the Front spoiler and side skirt for the Liftback in US?
I know it is an option in Canada, but I never see it in US accessory. Anyone know did US dealer carry those thing?

Good luck on the skirts... RiceBoy quoted something like $700 when all was said and done to get a set to the USA.

He tried for us, but its still too high for me.

That is the problem.. if US dealer don't carry those, shipping from international (Canada/Japan) and exchange rate is going to cost us more.
I wonder why they don't carry those items

The answer to your question is the same as in my question why they do not bring in Europe the 1.5lt engine model or the 1.3lt engine turbo kit...

Even the dealer has to pay more to get overseas parts here... if you're in America and aren't a bazillionaire, you'll save a few hundred by waiting for a US-made body kit.

So, isn't it the same story with the Sedan? If they have the sedan side skirt available for a cheaper price, I would try to see if it fit the LB.

Yes, I saw that post too, the front spoiler doesn't work. But I am thinking about the side skirt.

Just saw the spec between sedan and LB... the wheelbase is 3+ inch difference..
So I bet there is no hope to fit the side skirt.

You need to order the 4 door Canadian Liftback RS side skirts.. they are a perfect fit.

Is there any group discount if we have i.e. 10 people buying it?
