Default Who do you buy aftermarket parts from?

Self explanatory title. Which online vendor do you use to buy all your aftermarket parts from? There's a billion of them out there, and I'm sure a lot of them carry less than stellar parts. Who has stood out for you in terms of aftermarket performance (intakes, headers, exhaust, etc.) and cosmetic (wings, body kits, wheels, etc.) parts? Who has good customer service, decent prices, and a wide array of parts available?

I ask because I just picked up my first RD1 Tiburon, and the search for a reputable online vendor that carries a good array of parts has been a daunting one so far without feedback from actual customers.

while other places can be cheaper...summit racing and jegs cant be beat in terms of QUALITY

ive returned $2000 parts to them before....and they paid the shipping to return it no questions asked

always got things within a few weeks, and if you dont see it listed in the website, but they are a vendor of the part, they will S/O anything

i got my wiseco pistons from summit, paid 10 bux more than elsewhere, but i got them EXACTLY how i wanted and in 4 days

what more can you ask for

If you dont mind waiting 12 months or longer for certain things, then its ok. They tend to rip people off too.

Each company out there is different in terms of quality, shipping, items they offer, and so on.

If you tell us what parts you're looking for exactly, we can point you to a couple of companies that are good. Every company will be different depending on what you want to buy.

Performance parts, mostly. Cams, intakes, headers, exhausts, etc.

Why's that? I don't quite want to get into the whole mess and cost of turboing the engine.
