What sites to buy aftermarket parts (body/performance)?

I live in canada, and shipping with some of the companies costs a arm and a leg.
Specifically im looking to get a full MS body kit, and a K&N intake with a exhuast (not sure which one yet).

Right now currency for canada sucks *****, so budget wise im cut short. But any good sites to recommend me would be great.

So far im loving the rx8 other then starting up the car doesnt sound nice due to the cold

you could probably get the authentic MS body kit from a local mazda dealer. also you could just get a MS intake rather than the K&N...and a MS exhaust.

Go to Forum Jump drop down on the bottom of the page and go to Canada and Vendors. Good place to start...

Do not go to your local dealer to order the MS bodykit. Well, you can, but make sure you are sitting down. I got mine from mazdaonlineparts or something. Seemed like a pretty good deal. I got hit with broker fees and whatnot, but it is still miles apart from what I would have had to pay through the local Mazda dealer.

Such as? how much did you guys pay for the MS kit? Also what is a good price to pay?

I looked on ebay and saw some urethane kits for about 600US before shipping (shipping which cost around 50% of the actual value of the kit :O)

im not in a hurry for body kits as of now, just the intake and exhaust which i absolutely need

mazdausa.com

Local Mazda Dealer

Ebay (Replicas)

Fluidmotorsports.com

Championmotorsports.com

etc. etc. All of which can be found on the VENDORS section of this forum, there is an entire section where vendors can be found and where they are offering special deals. Thats a good (and extrememly obvious) place to start.
