Hello from Canada / Hallo aus Kanada

[deschlong]

My brother will be moving to Germany in September - thought I'd have a look at the local Honda scene before I visit. Plus - it makes picking up used EDM parts a lot easier.

Hi,

where exactly do you live? We spent our honeymoon in Canada, made a trip from Calgary to Vancouver.

Canada's absolutely adorable. Never felt so good.

[deschlong]

Well, that's the first I've heard that car covers are available in Canada. I guess I can ask at the dealer... I am not hopeful, though.

I'm in Eastern Canada (Ontario) right now.

[Crawnight]

EF9? Marco the EF9 wasnt released in Canada! And why are you looking for EF9 tails - you just have them installed Or are you after some USDM tail lights?

[bene]

ups sorry. mixed that up a little bit.
I am looking for USDM taillights.
yeah i have some on my EE. but they are not in a very good shape. the corners are broken and they are full of water when it rains. i just got my new gasket from the honda dealer some days ago. now i also want some new taillights
do you have any buggs?

[deschlong]

Oops, yes, lots of USDM taillights here. They will probably cost me about $50 at the junkyard. So, add shipping to Germany, plus my time ... what is a reasonable offer?

Hello
