atleast it's back in your price range.
also, on your email to them you are right about the customs cost, but the shipping would prob be a bit more (you'd have to go via UPS or fedex). another thing, i know they have to make a profit to make it worth their while to import the stuff etc, but they also get the goods at a far cheaper price than we pay for them. however your $2k price range is pretty spot on for the 4 bit kit.
personally, i'd see if they can match your $2k for the full kit and if not, get the bits from america....but shop around. there are many wings west vendors in america.

JUST CONTACTED ACCC - Hehehehe
WHAT I WROTE TO THE ACCC
Interested in purchasing a Wings West Body Kit for my 2003 Mazda SP20 Protege from Unreal Autosports. Found Wings West Brochure on company website.
www.unrealautosports.com/dloads/pricelists/wings_west_2004_product_pricelist_by_catogory_bodykits.pdf
Advertising MPS 4 Piece Complete Set (Product Number 890789) for $2153.00 - Page 20 of PDF brochure. I then contacted the company via email wanting more information on the product. Mr Jason Ting (Principal) replied quoting that the product was in fact $2700 and could do me a deal for $2500. Clearly violating my rights as a consumer by misleading/deceptive conduct. Is there anything else I can do? I still have all emails to/from Mr Jason Ting if needed.

I think first impressions play a big part in conducting business...especially over the net...

Bought from Corksport a few times. Takes awhile to ship, but good customer service. Make sure you PHONE IN your order so you can check if it's in stock. They have a bad habit of jsut holding off on your order if something's not in stock.
