I have had international shipments sit in customs for two weeks in the past.

USPS is NO better. Ordered euro tails from Latvia,they sat two weeks in New York. Was a month to my door.
I have some interior pieces coming from Germany est. delivery May 1-May 16. Will see.

my worst experience???
bought a complete Hydro trunk set with full wiring, fuses, pump, hosing, button, etc for $450 shipped in Feb 2016.
Shipped from Germany DHL.De
1 month later - zero updates
2months zero updates
3 month item sent out for delivery from Northern California ??????( I live in southern California)- the post office address points to an empty building on google street maps- SMDH
1 weeks later called USPS and the man told me NOR CAl USPS received status update of package # but the package never left Florida
Package RETURN TO SENDER
4 months- paypal sent my money back
Left high and dry and no hydro trunk

This is the kind of nonsense that drives me crazy. Just got a call from Lowes today. I ordered a Gladiator black hammered cabinet first week in April.
Cabinet is back ordered till first week of June. WTF,

That orient Blue on black is nice! Looks like the owner did alot of work considering black interior wasn't included in a US pkg? At least i haven't seen one without beige or gray interior...

I wish they would post the VIN so we could check out the original options. I thought it did look pretty nice although its twin just sold for $1250 on ebay.

And "blazingly quick"? lol.

[740iSport303]

But the Orient Blue on Black is not on iL Sport. Adding M-Pars and Sport seats does not make it an iL Sport!

Still looks great though. All it really need is a 3.15 diff. Who knows it may already have one...

iL sports do not have the 3:15 dif....

I am aware of that. I meant considering he most likely swapped in the full black interior including headliner and pillars, he may have already put in a 3.15.

[740iSport303]

But other iL sport options are missing. Shadowline and S.EDC to name two! So far a pretty decent clone but advertising as a sport and probably expecting a higher price tag because of it just reminds me of so many of those shady dealers that would mount a set of M-Pars and market a car as a sport, or with dual pane or break resistant glass and claiming a protection model. That's my only beef. From pictures it is a fine example of an iL and some tasteful mods have been performed.

Think the guy could snap a few more pictures or give a little more description? Looks pretty sweet though.

But 130k with a starting bid of $10k? Seems like he's reaching a little even if it is rare over here.

Not bad looking but it looks like you give up autodimming if you have that but keeps heating. Can't make up my mind if I'd do that or not. I usually go with no unless my brain gives me a firm yes.

Got basically a new Bosch alt for 180 shipped off ebay. I don't think there is a better deal out there besides maybe taking your alt to a local shop for a rebuild.

seems like the going rate.??

The going rate for the smart way. Just pointing out that you can have the Bosch bad boy for much less than the $700+ a new one costs. Some people need parts education
