I want to get a roof section sent over from California but the seller has no idea who to use. So, was wondering if any of you guys have imported similar sized sections of cars from the states (front clips, large replacement panels, etc...) and if so which shipping companies have you used (or the seller of your item)?

I dunno Cam. but maybe we should find out if some other forum members need stuff shipped. might work out cheaper if we all chip in bud. i might have a couple of things that might need shipping from SoCal.
