Any experience with cargym?

I'm looking to get some carbon fiber parts from them...been going on ebay and some other places, while ebay has a cheaper price i don't really want to hassle with going to picking it up at the airport and such. Any advice will be great, thanks!

They ain't bad got a few parts from there

My only advice to you is try not to get cheaper bodykit products since they will not fit as well and will not blend into the car well. The only parts I would get replicas would be addon wings or grills not hoods or add on lips. Especially not hoods. That is if you are getting replica items. Try Toppix locally if you still want some carbon fiber parts and add ons ... they specialize in this sort of stuff - but not sure of fitment.

just curious...how does shipping work in hk? cuz back in canada, for example, if i buy something from ebay i would have to go to customs myself to clear the item or if it's mailed directly to my doorstep i have to pay DHL handling charges and taxes. Is it the same in Hong Kong that I have to go to the airport to clear the items or it's delivered right to my doorstep?

Most my parts are delivered to the door ... I have heard some ppl pick them up at the customs - maybe it is cheaper ...?

Someone chime in?

u can actually go to cargym's office in to kwa wan. i got my headlights from them and directly picked up by myself

manster · 12-22-2010, 09:49 AM

that's what i'm planning to do but problem is that i find a lot of the ones on ebay are a lot cheaper and same quality than cargym...

Well when i ordered my body kit from Germany, i had to go pick it up from the carrier after it had cleared customs. It was sent by air freight by Schenker. Ended up having to pick it up from tsing yi.

But have to say... Ordering it direct from Germany and including shipping costs aS still way cheaper than the quotes i was getting in HK.

Be careful of the carbon parts on eBay. I have bought one before. It's from China and it turns yellowish after half year use.
