Shipping Company's Failure

If he's talking parts in general, I'm pretty sure there's plenty of them in the salvage yards or reservations, being a cougar and all.

And where do you pick up a carbon fiber hood for your car locally??CF is for ricers. I do know where i can find a finished fiberglass one tho. Pretty sure he has a deck lid too. The plastic bumper covers are another story but I did manage to find a rear one for $25 within 300 miles. Also the parts in general are so much easier to find, Faber mentioned plugs. Every brand that I carry, I have in stock for my car, all 7 brands. Plus the price is usually much better. IDK about you guys but if I'm gonna have a car that is a little older, mine is 20 this year, I want the peace of mind that if shit happens, adn it always does, its not going to cost me an arm and a leg to fix, and its not going to take a week to get the parts. My tranny shit out just outside of Carrington a couple of months ago, I limped it to Minot on Friday night. Monday was a holiday, got a tranny on Tuesday for $250, put it in Wednesday, and was back to work on Thursday morning I missed one day of work. What if I drove a Celica?

Ya, we just order in like 20 at a time from one of our parts places we buy from. plus, they are 1/2 the price they were at the parts stores.
Well, napa has them instock in moorhead. But, I won't pay $4 each for a plug that is $1.77 or something like that at advanced.

yup, I can not even find the plugs I run instock in this town. However, I have more S13 parts then you will find in all the junk yards within 100 miles.That sucks.
Our local 240 board has become larger than fargostreet and it's only been up a year. Not trying to down FS, just stating how huge 240ATL is.

Ok but timing belt VS transmission. Apples to Oranges my friend.

I have a VIS hood on my accord. For the first year and a half or so it stayed in excellent shape, I made sure and polished and waxed it good when I washed the car but it got cloudy in the middle of the hood anyways, almost looked like a somebody scratched it up with steel wool or something, but it was under the surface. I tried everything to buff it out but nothing seemed to work so I ended up painting it Krylon ultra flat black. Plus, it has no warranty to speak of except the usual manufacturing defect warranty. Seibon on the other hand I personally haven't heard anything bad, I think they use the dry carbon method of manufacturing which is far better than the old wet method.
