Need Help from our Canadian Members... - HondaClub.com

**EyesofFreedom** · 03-12-2008, 02:34 PM

I am thinking of doing an EL conversion...

But the EL was only sold in Canada.

What I need is someone who lives near a junkyard in Canada who wouldnt mind doing a little searching for me to see if they have an 01-03 Acura EL trunk...must be the sedan...preferably Nighthawk Black Pearl...and how much it is.

I would like to get one and ship it to Georgia zip code 31326.

If the lights are included great!

Also would like the outer taillights!

Just trying to find out how much this might run me...

Thanks guys!

good luck finding a trunk for an acura that new....i tried finding parts that fit a 94 to 97 accord for my 96 at the wreckers but the newest accord i found was a 92'...you'll probably have to contact a dealer

**EyesofFreedom** · 03-13-2008, 04:46 PM

nah...canadians wreck all the time!

I tried the dealer route and just like here they are out of thier minds on the mark up...$500...I laughed him off the phone!

haha i dunno man...normally the one's with the newer nicer cars know how to drive, except for older ones cuz i was on my way home from picking my gf up and some old grandma was supposed to yield to me but just went without looking, lucky for me i could swerve to the lane beside me without hitting anyone, i woulda been screwed if there was someone beside me...someone woulda got hit

The dealer wanted 500 for an unpainted stock trunk?

**EyesofFreedom** · 03-14-2008, 01:15 PM

$500 for a primered trunk before paint, shipping and customs fees and the lights as well...totalling about $1100

But if I "buy" it from a person instead of a business all I have to do is ship it...no customs fees!
