i will have to ask the post office on monday.i had never ship anything to usa.and i will have to calculate the cost of each one,plexiglas,decals,bulbs.i will make it like a kit.i have to buy the gauge cluster too.we'll have to see and how it looks at night with the lights on.anyway i believe the cost will not be more than 50$ shipped.if you add your name you will not commit to buy it before i will let you know the final price.i just need to see how many are really interested because the materials and the hole work is not cheap and easy...
