OEM license plate frames: where to buy in Canada

[stingertig]

Does anyone know an online shop in Canada (or a physical shop in GTA) where I can buy the OEM license plates for Stinger?

I found several online shops in the US but shipping+customs tax doubles the cost. Can't find any in Canada and my nearest KIA dealer was unable to order them for me.

Those guys are really good . I bought my heavy duty rubber matts , trunk liner and mud guards from them . The US accessories dont always make it here . I had my stuff shipped to Blain Washington to my PO box then drove down and picked them up.............send them to somewhere in NY maybe .............

Thanks, @westcoastGT, I also bought my rubber mats from them and had them shipped to Canada. The mats are great but I ended up paying about $60 more just for customs and import charges (on top of shipping charges). I am just looking for a Canadian shop to avoid paying double the cost for the frames. Maybe I should do as you say and do a nice weekend trip to NY

I shop in the US frequently and find that the border guys are totally cool bringing back up to $300 , but when you ship anything in , they nail you . The PO box is the easiest thing but those frames will be available through a dealer in Buffalo or elsewhere. Good Luck !

Yeah. BTW, if you spend more than 48 hours abroad then the tax free allowance for importing goods is $800 per person: Personal exemptions mini guide - Travel.gc.ca
