BlueLude1 · 03-13-2002, 06:08 PM

Ok I am building a aftermarket parts site an I wanted to know where u guys get parts so I can compare prices an try to give u a better deal. I know all about the groupbuycenter.com but they're inconsistant on what they offer an their dealers get in trouble alot for the prices they post . Also would like to know how often some of u guys buy parts lemme know tryin to build a one stop shop

. OH an what matters the most? price,shipping time, how easy the people are to work with ?

Thanks for ur help in advance

www.thepartstrader.com
www.greddy.com
www.apexi.com
www.aempower.com
www.skunk2.com

it also helps if you become a regular customer at a local shop...you'll get discounts and and be able to get most anything you want.

do u actually purchase from those sites?

Well I've dealt with www.coximport.com and www.wholehyper.com. Both of these sites have relatively reasonable prices. I believe coximport does not even charge shipping. If you are looking to compare prices so you can give good deals, I would try these two (2) sites.

I think price is the especially important, followed by shipping and how easy the people are to work with. If it takes longer than promised for me to get a part OR if the person I speak with is rude (if I call and talk to a representative), then I wouldn't order from their site again.

Good luck!

I'd like to know your site address if and when you get it, assuming you have the best prices around

later

i talk to a guy down by my house, and if he got something he don't need he sell it cheap to me, or i get a five finger discount sometimes

I am looking for somewhere to get turbo components for my car this summer, so let me know when the site is up so i can do some price comparing. Good Luck.

Jose, do you know if there's a Skyline-style front bumper for 4G Ludes? I saw a skyline bumper on a yellow 4G, and it looked NICE. It would accentuate my intercooler nicely. I'm kinda dumb w/ body kit knowledge, so excuse my ignorance. I want that bumper, though.
