They seem to have very fair prices. Seat covers especially. I also need exhaust tips and some other stuff.

Like stated, you get what you pay for but at the time legendary didnt have what I needed so I went with PG. The material was very nice but the fit took a lot of tweeking by my upholsterer. All said and done they do look nice in the car. 69 1/2 A12 BEE 4 spd 1968 Charger 383 1970 Roadrunner 440+6 Survivor 2019 Redeye 2005 FORD GT Red/White 2017 Viper ACR Extreme Red/White 1979 Branco Red/Red 2018 Porsche GT3 Miami 1971 440+6 Cuda 4 speed V2 2020 Sebring Orange Vette 1979 Chevy Boogie Hippie Van

I buy from BE&A and I'm in Canada (same as PG) if that tells you anything.

I ordered a set of headlight bezels for a Challenger from them and the box had Chinese writing all over it, looked wierd. But they looked ok and I put them on the car. I have never bought anything from BE&A so I can't say where it comes from and its quality. 2004 Dodge Rumble Bee 5.7 Hemi 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner

Dougsmopars top fuel D Joined: May 2005 Posts: 2,295 dark side of the moon	I bought quite a few things from them. Console top set was junk. Took hours of tweaking to make them fit. Side markers were fair at best. One fell apart when installing. Dash pad fit but not perfect. Head rests fit very nice. Fender mount turn signals fit and look real good. Gauge bezel looks good but lettering doesn't line up with gauges very good. Yup most is China made. Most of my stuff was shipped direct from China. But they had the stuff. Not a big choise on suppliers. Probly all coming from same manufacturer anyway. Better then the 42 year old parts i had . Seat covers used to be best from Legenday but now plenty of complaints about there product also . Face it nothing made in USA any more.

If you can't find nice original stuff, then PG is a good option... some of their items are excellent some are garbage, but all can be made to work if you have no other option... we're having an issue with the charger side marker where the bulb doesn't fit or turn into the socket, and one of ours fell apart on install also, but we're making it work, the bezel is nice and thats the important part! The charger taillights they sent are pretty nice... It's hit and miss for every supplier out there for aftermarket stuff. They all have items that are good and bad... As for china and u.s. made... look at the bare steel patch panels from cross canada or sherman auto parts....They are u.s made and are about the crappiest thing I've ever seen offered, my 10 year old daughter could form them better! Don't put your faith in what part of the world it comes from! Last edited by smac77; 09/21/10 10:07 AM.

Peter Gee, the owner travels back in forth all the time. I've heard that he's actually staying in China now. This is the same company that makes BE&A's parts as well. *CHECK OUT MY NEW WEB SITE !*

I appreciate what they do to offer alternatives to NOS and used parts. After that, I bought some stuff from Mike at BE&A. What a great experience that is! Mike is very into Mopars personnaly and professionally, fun to talk cars with and a true resource of knowlege and experience, especially regarding ebodies. He's one of many on this boad who are true assets to the craft of Mopar restoration. Twenty years ago, one could only dream that someone would produce parts like these for Mopar. 6208969-The11milehike4-08002(Large).jpg (338 downloads) 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

The woman who answered the phone could barely speak any English. And had no knowledge of the parts. Mike knows the parts. They pretty much both offer the same parts so go with BE&A if possible.

Got told by Peter himself that they wont be coming but that somone from B,E & A was coming. I asked Mike and he said no they weren't. So to me that is a lie. One simple "no it just isn't in our budget this year would of been enough for me and I would have even checked them out for parts but since that as done for me I am done ith any parts buying from them. If they are going to lie then what else are they going to do. Mom's old saying that a lie will come back to bite you in the end. Guess that is true here for me. just my .02 but buy from Mike he is so much nicer to deal with than P.G.! Contact Me about AMD Prices

(that and he threaten me with a law suit) Mike's a great guy, I think if he had a chance to step up and help sponsor your show then he would have! It sounds as if people were making excuses not to help you out by just pointing the finger at someone else... Last edited by anlauto; 09/22/10 08:59 AM. *CHECK OUT MY NEW WEB SITE !*

I do have the feeling that they were trying to pass off the buck and I amsure had no idea that I had dealings with Mike. Again I was just rubbed wrong by his doing this so again this is my .02 on this subject. I also agree with the talk about it being hard to understand the lady who answers the phone all though have heard she does know alot just hard to understand her. Contact Me about AMD Prices

Canada	As I said before (and dozens of times in the past) PG's stuff is sold through BEA in the states and Mike is much easier/better to deal with.....you really don't need to know anything else! as far as the parts themselves, some are good (most, I'd say) although it's certainly hard to beat the original stuff. Some is not (i.e. the ramcharger duct which Mike was upfront about with me) Overall I'm happy with the vast majority of my purchases and I've very happy with Mike's customer service.

With PG I will caution you to open and check every item in every box the minute it arrives. I cannot tell you how many times that parts are missing or in mislabled boxes. It is very frustrating to have a car going together and open a box to then make this discovery. But quality is very good

I was just hoping to hear about some first hand experiences with stuff purchased from this vendor. I know that people are always gun ho to write a review when they have a bad experience and alot less likely to comment if things go smooth. I think I'm going to try and start a shopping list thread so people can chime in and help me by reccomending decent parts they have purchased for their car. Thanks again for all the comments. 2016 Diesel Ram 3500 Mason Dump 1971 Challenger 2013 Jeep Wrangler 1979 Dodge Ram Power Wagon 400 Mini Pumper My other car is a Fire Truck.
