Even if we have to pay import tax, it'll still be cheaper according to my calculations. Autosport charges 72000 for the M-Tech bumpers, thats over 1700(USD), plus you gotta paint and install say 15000(400USD), thats super cheap and it could be more. All in all you pay about 87000 (2100USD). I also asked RPM for the price including paint job and install they are charging 89000 baht. If we get it from Tony, 1499 USD + about 400 USD install + 100USD tax (which I doubt we'll have to pay and it couldn't be more than that), its only comes out to about 1999. I mean, its saves you about 2-300 USD, you could use this money to get your DVD player. 
Thats just what I think. And if you're buying things like M5 spoilers, etc. you'll continue saving with Tony. Just my opinion, so please do as you see fit.

Tony,
I think its best if you call UPS in Thailand and see about the procedure. Obviously everything varies country to country. As you understand shipping and have experience in that part, its best if you talk to them for us because we dono what to ask them. Please find out exactly if we need to pay import tax on sample products or gifts, if so how much depending on the stated value, etc. Please let us know.
Sam,
I think that when you ship your parts for your cars from other countries, you guys do it according to the law perfectly, so you have to pay import taxes, why don't you try next time when your business partner ship car parts from China or Korea; tell them to put the product as sample or gift or used, see if you still have to pay import tax. I think its very possible about what Tony said, delivery companies are not allowed to open up your boxes anyways, they are only suppose to ship it and deliver, so no one will know whats in the boxes exactly, plus they dono if its for BMW or Toyota. All in all, if we don't try, we'll never know. If possible I'll take the first stab at it and see what happens.

You are right but the import procedure is not as easy as we think, it's quite complicated and it's for your information that when we send something by Any courier service then they ask that what's inside and suppose if it's parts then we will declare whether it's sample or gift, Fine, when we send frm this side, NO PROBLEM, but when it reaches to the receiver (any country) it will go for the scan (x ray machine) and they will find out what's inside and then if the item is supposed to be duty or whatever then it will be processed according to it's type and Value, i hope this will help you understand the whole process that how it moves,
Yeah you are right, i think when i bck to BKK, i will startup by something from Tony so we will find out how exacly it moves,
Cheers Bro

Just order the M5 set or just rear and see how that goes. Like I said many times before, the M5 rear with quads would be the next time for your car. Don't let those shops cut your diffuser, its gonna go to waste..
