Thanks Huy!!

 

Thanks Huy!

 

Wow! Lots of good resources here. Excellent job.

Thanks Huy for putting that all together!

 

Hopefully this will keep expanding and turn into a great resource and reference for everybody.

Kudos to Huy for his hard work

 

Here are my experiences:

Bulletproof:

Parts ordered: Cusco Cage, Feels rear bumper, Airwalker sides, OEM style CF front lip.

The parts they had in stock, I received them very fast, but a lot of JDM ordered parts I wanted for a long time. But its not really their fault though. They kept me well updated through the process.

Overall a great vendor.


Rick's:

Ordered the license plate frame from them. Great experience overall.

Partshelper:

Ordered the Wilwood 4 pot break kit. Might just be my luck, but the kit itself had a few missing pieces. They were shipped out to me as soon as I was able to get a hold of them, but it still delayed the installation process which I had scheduled. Also the rotors themselves that came with my kit was wilwood style rotors, not actual wilwood rotors. And I had orded none cross drilled, but ended up receiving cross drilled version. The return/exchange process would have caused more of a hassle and down time on the car, therefore, I decided to run them, and after they wear out, I will switch to powerslot rotors.

Ground Zero:

Overall a good experiences with the folks at GZ, they did a great job on all of the installs they did on my car, and if I did have issues (none so far), they stand behind their work 100%.

During my break kit install drama, folks at GroundZero took charge and worked directly with Partshelper on getting the missing pieces figured out, instead of having me be the middle man.

Only thing I don't really like is that their rate is on the high side, and they charge minimum of 1hr labor no matter what they do. Also with the recent changes in their personnel, I am not sure if the techs I trusted to work on my car is even their anymore.

PDXTuning: (Please add them to your list Huy)

They are a well known tuning company in the Sti/Evo community. Very knowledge at tuning FI type cars. After talking to them, found out they are happy to work on Honda's, so this opens up more doors for us.

Great experience, great rate, I will have them do some major work in the near future, and will report back with more info.

Beaverton Honda:

Very bad experience. Had them work on the Clutch TSB back in 03, went in with my SC running fine, then got the car back with my supercharger belt completely off my car. Then further inspection, found the belt shredded in to tiny little bits sitting on top of my cross member. When I called them, they claim that the car's supercharger was never actually working (complete BS).

The only saving grace at the time was that the service manager was also a member of S2Ki, and he took his own time at his airplane hanger in Hillsboro and fixed everything for me personally. He also addressed a few other issues while he was at it. I miss him dearly.

Lucky's Auto Body

Great experience. My rear bumper got a bad scratch, and took it in for them to fix it, and they were upfront and honest about price and amount of time it requires. When they found any problems, they called me first before they did anything with it.

Only thing is that they are not cheap. Overall good quality on their work.

LT&T Body Shop

Had a lot of major work done by them through out the years on different cars I've owned. They are willing to work with insurance companies at the benefit of the car owner, not the insurance company. They don't use fake parts, they always use genuine OEM parts on all repairs, unless requested.

Only bad part is that they are too far for me to do anything small. They are on 39th and Haulgate in SE Portland.

 

So Brian,
for Bulletproof
for Ricks
for GZ
for PDX Tuning
for Lucky's
for LT&T
for Beaverton Honda
What about Partshelper? Overall ?

I use to go to LT&T all the time for body/paint work but from what I understand they changed owners I'll find out and post info.

Thanks Brian!

 

Yes. on everything. For now, compare to other vendors/sponsors from S2Ki, Partshelper is not as up to par.

As for GZ, I might report back later on that, I've not been in there since they had the recent change in techs.

Oh, and a couple more.

GoTuningTommy - Bought some spacers from them for drive axle, very good experience.

Berk Technology - bought both TP and HFC from them. Fast shipping, good communication, and top notch quality/fitments on both the TP and HFC. I could only imagine that their headers is equally high quality.

 

List looks good Huy. One thing I think would be good would be comments. and is nice, but I'd like to see the context in which they were given. To be extreme; a could be given for not receiving a tracking # to they destroyed engine and would not admit/cover it.
