I bought some parts from Bob at FA and they were fine. I am watching this thread closely and will not direct further business there unless I hear an explanation.

Doug,

JAS doesn't need me to explain for him, but I think he was refering to some pricing he had difficulty getting from F/A.

I had a similar experience with F/A. On 3 separate occassions I tried to get information/pricing on the TT Aerokit and some CF parts - I never got one phone call back! Told me all I needed to know, except that I never should have called after the second time!

Eric

Don't you think if someone is posting their experience with someone else in dealings with the car, it should be allowed to be told good or bad? No one ever censures compliments so why should criticism be censured so long as the party is telling the truth (really their side of the story). It sounds silly to ask permission to post an experience just because someone is a board sponsor. If they are deceitful businessmen, then we don't want their money or presence here. Am I wrong?

Ahh, then he had a basis for his comments, and that makes sense then.

Thanks for the clarification and insight.



Although callbacks are very important, I know that anyone can get swamped and miss returning calls (although 3 seems like a lot). I have yet to buy from FA, but I know I will. They have always been responsive and helpfull when I have called for info, pricing, etc.

There has to be two sides to the story. I just completed a ground up project that in many times we replaced parts like an ECU to see if it would correct "X" problem if it did not then the shop would put mine back on. I always get my old parts back if I use a shop or I watch the work being performed. Most shops do not make a fortune on parts it is the labor where they make their money replacing an ECU is maybe an hours worth of labor and if the end result was the same as before then it's the shop mis diagnosis. Anyway I hate witch hunts on Internet Boards, before we get the noose I think we should hear both sides.

As for FA I have done one deal for a GT3 wing, B&M SSK, and Lit lights not only did they ship quickly they answered each and every question I had. Plus they had the best prices out there on all of those items.
