Default Crossing the border

Taking the wife to Niagara Falls for her birthday,and I will be crossing the border.
Is there anywhere to buy some parts (dynatech headers) close to the crossing?
I can't pay the fees and taxes @ the border when shipping is involved : *****:
I don't want the trip to be a total loss

Please help me.......

Suggest you post a similar thread over in the Northeast Regional section and put "[NY]" in the subject like. That might help.

You'll probably have to find a place in the U.S. to ship the items to. Maybe you can find a forum member near there to accept them for you...

Bring a box of Cohiba's with you and, you will probably get the parts for nothing. Can't buy them in the U.S.

We all go over to your side. The only thing that we have for you is cheaper gas. Buffalo seems to have more performance cars than here (Rochester region), but I'm sorry that I don't know of any shops for you. I mail order almost everything.-Or you can come back later this summer for Corvettes At Carlisle (PA). Great deals and people.

There is no better cigar than a Cohiba La Habana Espendido. ring gauge 47, 7" length.
I was told that Any good cigar store in Canada carries Castro's best.

I live in Sarnia, and I have a UPS box in Port Huron Michigan. You can ship to my box anytime, but you will need to bring your parts in from there.
