Question Any Rubi Canadians going to D?

Have any Canadians with Rubis orders gone to D in the past week or two? Just wondering if that info about Canadian production shipping to the states is accurate or not...

Thanks,
js.

No news for you guys but you're going to love them when they come in. My dealer was great but make sure they mount your front plate for you.Got it in Dec. and drove around with it on dash because He told me you have to drill the bumper to mount. I had a hard time swallowing that and they were as rare as hens teeth at that time to see how others had the plate mounted. Went back to shop and a different feller just ran the screws through the plastic where there are 4 pretty inconspicuous dimples, using a nut driver.

Well, that depends on your plans for the front bumper. I wanted to get a stubby for it & I had the front bumper sold before i got the Jeep, that is, until some #^%@*#&&@%!)&&$)@%^@*@# at the dealership went and screwed a bunch of holes in it. Then the guy i had it sold to didnt want it anymore, there went better than half the money for my new bumper. I was furious at them because i SPECIFICALLY told them NOT to put the @&^%#&@^%#&@^%#(*&@#^ thing on there in the first place.

Yah I"d be more than a little peeved at the dealer for that if front plates aren't req'd in your jurisdiction. I really liked the clean look of the front end for the couple of weeks having the plate on the dash, but after getting the stare from the same local cop a few times...... and drawing a blank searcking for an alternative legal location......I just went and bit the bullet so-to-speak.
