Question Ever heard of this company?

I was looking into ordering a front clip, and was wondering if this company was any good? Anyone else know of a good place to order a good quality front clip for about $1500-$2500?

I'm looking to do a TII swap, but dont want todrag the project on for an extended period of time, so I figure that ordering a front clip would be the best way to get started. -i have all the drivetrain taken care of, but need the motor and everything that makes it work. Thanks alot guys.

<(thats just ammusing)

so, how much would a good front clip sell for typically, and would this be the best way to do the motor swap?

welll...that s5 clip for 1300 bux is a pretty good deal.....I'd go for it and spend another 2k on rebuilding the engine....


on the other hand, though, Japan2LA can source all that **** for good prices IIRC....and he's on the forum...

I'd only buy a clip from Jarco (www.jarco.com). Talk to micheal. They're top-notch folks and you'll get a whole front end...including straight fenders, hood, and the bumper. Plus you'll get the tranny, shafts, rear, sometimes suspension bits, and micheal usually sources cars with aftermarket goodies.

That's subject to debate. I've at least heard one horror tale about nippon, and have yet to hear anything bad about Jarco...and I've been dealing jarco for a long time...

Why does the link take us to a propane truck sales site?

horror stories on flash options? Well you will get your motor but thats it and don't expect it anytime soon, two friend ordered from them one a honda h22 and the other a nissan sr20 det, both took over 9 months to get here, they were very hard to deal with and anytime we could reach them which was rare we'd reach a gujy who spoke hardly any english. also both people bought entire front clips and just recieved the motor and some parts the sr20 didn't even come with a ecu so don't order **** from them
