They are in Canada. Have heard mixed things but have never bought from them. They did get back reasonably quick, but for me that means a couple days is ok.

Once they learned I was located in Canada they would not reply to my e-mails anymore??? Have not heard anything good about them.

I had trouble getting through and finally did. I ordered 240Z fender flares and front and rear spoilers through them. The prices were reasonable and I didn't really expect great quality.
The guy was pleasant to talk to and the parts finally came. I was very surprised when they were much better quality then I anticipated. I don't know about their Mopar stuff though.

Smaller stuff like a spoiler can't be too bad. Especially if you have nothing to judge it against.

Alot of these wild body kits young dudes like to put on their "rice" type cars love their products.

I bought a pair of fibreglass fenders for my 69 Coronet. They ONLY save me weight. The quality is major scrap, junk, wavey and poor fitting. Also without sidemarker light hole and missing all the holes and captured nuts a steel fender would have to hold onto the grille, headlights and trim.

I am going to try a shaker hood from these guys. They are not very computer literate. Price seems ok. I do not expect perfection with any fiberglass part which is why the parts are less expensive. They all seem to need work.

I have ordered from this place. I paid upfront for bumpers and a trunk lid for my 77 volare. Good prices and fair workmanship. Only had a problem getting the pieces. They kept promissing but took for ever.

hi there,

Me and my dad bought a couple of things totaling to $1,500 bucks. They are based out side of toronto ontario. Two years ago we bought 74 charger fender and two 72 javelin fenders with a front valance. Long story short, made a special 10 hrs trip to pick up items, to not even having them ready for pick up, he said he would ship them free of charge to us for the inconvenace. after two more months, we final got the fenders but no valance, i guess he kept it to pay for the shipping. also fender for the 74 charger, i got a fender for a 71'72, so that useless. Iether way full of lies, empty promisses, can not even come close to meeting deliveries, and and just a wast of time. So donąt wast your time or hard earned money.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!! #199346

Stay away from these guys!!!
I paid $850 for a hood and a front spoiler. They stopped responding to phone and emails about 3 months after I purchased them. Whenever I could get someone on the phone, I was placed on indefinite hold! I finally got the POORLY made parts after 1.5 years! Their service is terrible and the quality is so bad I can't even give the hood and spoiler away.

Bought a bumper from them, 2 months later they sent the wrong one. Talked them into replacing it. 6 months later I got it, but it was warped, twisted, thin, cracked, with thin gel coat and visible parting lines. I could have done better myself.

A good friend bought some 240Z parts from Showcars. They finally arrived after over 6 months and a zillion phone calls. One time they left him on hold for over an hour. Quality was decent once it arrived, but they charged his card on order, and waited over 6 months to deliver, with very poor communication.
