    One thing to consider with buying cross border is a situation I am going through right now where Cervini shipped me the wrong hood. Was shipped to Buffalo and brought over with CBP. Not until I paid the fees and duty upon pickup in Mississauga did I discover it was wrong.
    Trying to get them to cover my costs (sent them my CBP receipt) up to this point and pick up the hood I have in Milton, but not sure if they will end up doing this or how it is going to get resolved

    it's kinda what I'm worried about right now - have to order a frame and only one place makes it - and their rep in Canada is not too on the ball in past dealings...I'm not much of a gambler especially when it's not my cash

    I did not find them the most pleasant to deal with when a hood I purchased for the Cobra did not sit flat on one corner, would have taken hood pins to retain in position. Blamed the car, oddly enough, stock hood sits flat and aligns up as it should. Saving grace, bought locally and they took on the argument after I returned.

    New hood is enroute to CBP with a zero dollar invoice/ warranty return statement from Cervini. Hopefully this is enough for the border agent

    Something to consider if you do very much cross border shopping is credit card conversion fees. The majority of card companies tack a 2-3% conversion fee onto the exchange rate. Home Trust Visa is one of two cards available that does not charge this conversion fee.
