Default Vendor that'll ship to Hawaii for cheap?

Does anyone know a good place that'll ship parts to Hawaii for cheap?
Subispeed wants to charge me $600 to ship a single lip to me.
I want to start building my 2016 WRX badly so if anyone can help, that'll be appreciated!

Is the lip you want only available at Subispeed? They pretty much are one of the worst vendors as far as shipping charges to island. Otherwise you need to shop around like anything around here.

Have you contacted local shops on-island yet? Sometimes they tend to be the better options when dealing with shipping prices.

There aren't any shops here that have parts like these.(That I know of) I'd have to look through other islands and find out where everyone gets their stuff from.
I've tried Subispeed, MAPerformance, ImageRacing, SubiMods, and Andy'sautosports. So far, all of their shipping quotes would be atleast $370 or over just to ship a lip.

There's no shops that sell those kind of parts on my island. I'd have to go off-island and ask around.
So far I've tried Subispeed, SubiMods, Andy'sAutosports, ImportracingImage and so far, their shipping quotes are at least $370 and up to ship a single lip.
Also, I'm just looking for a carbon fiber lip. The sujin style is what suits my style, but if I can find something else that I can get shipped to me, that'll also be fine.

Which island are you on? Shade Tree on Oahu carries some carbon bits.

No, shops here that normally don't stock those items, but since they are vendors/businesses, they can sometimes order things and have it be brought on via a bulk container to a business address as opposed to a singular item delivered to a residential address. Shipping costs between the two can be significant. Sure it is no mainland prices, but it'll be better than what you are seeing.

Have you also picked up the phone to call those online vendors? Sometime the shipping costs calculated online for HI is on the high side just so they don't lose too much to shipping. Sometime having someone look in depth can yield a better price.

I’m on the big island. I’ve tried contacting Tokyo auto to see if they had something in stock, so far no answer. I’ll probably have to call them but I’ll check Shade Tree.
It’s just ridiculous on ordering stuff from the mainland.
Thanks.
I’m thinking of getting rims from DiscountTireHawaii since they gave me a quote to ship a set of rims with tires for $320
