Has anybody dealt with them before? If so, how do they rate? I'm thinking of buying a front clip from them.

DONT DO IT!! IF you do buy from them get the money in an escrow account before you pay them anything...that way you can release the money when you get your clip...
I have been waiting 17 months and counting for my GTX front clip from those A-holes... They want the money wire transfered which was a total pain, and then still no replys to my emails or a refund...
I hope this helps.. If you talk to them ask them were my clip is...
Thanks.. -
17 months? Holy crap that's a long time. I've ordered parts from half a world away and it's taken a lot less to get to me. I'll move this thread over to the buyer/seller feedback part of the forum. Might help others in the future.-------------------------

But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

if the prices are too good to be true, then they probably are.
Just think, how can you expect to have some guy in another coutry pull a motor out of a car, put it on a pallette, ship it thousands of miles, and only pay a couple of hundred bucks?Comment

Yet another reason to wonder.Originally posted by protegebob
As far as other options look up Raceup in Florida. They are well known. Bascially look for an importer site that has a number that you can call and talk to someone. If they are a legit business you should see the veri Sign logo on their site to verify that they are legit, and have a contact number that is within the US that you can call with any questions.
Raceup selling one (a clean ass looking one at that) on eBay currently:
