put it this way. People like IPS, etc... make like $200 if that on selling a JDM front.
If you were to get it yourself and get every single part you need that IPS, etc... sell ]you would save like $200. However you will have to ship is and I can promise you that you will pay at least $200 more then people like IPS, etc... pay unless you do crazy looking around a find a crate of your own and do it yourself with others then go to the place and deal with customs, etc... you might meet their price however you have a 99% chance of paying more or not getting everything you need or having stuff messed up in the process.
However if you do a front clip and ship it out here you might make something off it, however that too is $$$$ The clip its self or just used parts are cheep. However you end up paying a ton in shipping (crate, etc...) and also in custom fee's, etc...
Easier and a lot less of a hassle to just call IPS, etc... up and order a kit.

I agree with Mike on this one... Unless you have a hookup with the airlines, or know the grounds people, and could get the kit on the plane with no hassle, it is a lot cheaper to just bite the bullet and order from IPS Racing, R&D Motorsports, etc... Good luck!
