Have you packed it up yet? Dimensions and Weight would help because this will all play into the price.

shipping is going to be pricey. Just for a ball park figure, I shipped out a front bumper cover, cost me 200 bucks. I also shipped out the evo 8 stock lower lip, that cost me around $75. Considering it's carbon fiber you'll have to have packed nice and neatly, which is going to bring it up higher. I'm guessing 150? If you don't have packing material, get it professionally packaged.

Depends on the size and weight. Shouldnt weigh too much, but depending on the dimensions -- most couriers use a dimensional weight now...meaning something weighing 10 lbs could be considered weighing 75 lbs depending on the size of the container its in.

Friend of mine got a front bumper cover shipped through GreyHound as in the BUS company and it cost him just $40.00...He said it is like buying a bus ticket for your bumper cover.The only thing is that you have to bring it down to a greyhound bus terminal and the person picking it up has to go to their nearest terminal to pick it up but it would be worth the savings...

i shipped my spoiler, yet Freight was paid by the vendor (I sold to a company and they sent DHL) so i don't know the amount. The box i put it in was a "clothes moving box" yet it was fully extended and i had to cut more cardboard to put a lid on it. Really tall/long box, but damn light. It was tought trying to find a box that big.

Fedex Express has the best rates in my area. You'd be shipping a box that's basicly 5' x 1.5' x 1.5' so depending on the weight . . . that'd be right in the 75 to 85 dollar range going Ground from NW Arkansas to Chicago --- which is longer than from NC to Maryland. I guess rates are different in some areas, though.
