Hello everyone I'm about ready to buy a ca18det front clip for my 89 240hatch. I really want to stay zenki on my little project, so I'm doing my best not to buy a sr front. I have found this website...
http://www.flashoptions.com/
Their selling a clip for pretty cheap but that price has gotten me kinda concerned. If n/e one has experience from them please tell me their feedback. Greatly Appreciated !!! Or if there is another site that sells clips for a good price and good feedback that would also be greatly appreciated.

Dude I heard really bad shit about that place.
There was a guy long ago on another forum that got pretty jacked up from them if I remember correctly.
If your in Burbank Ca. There's so many companies local here that sell front clips. Go to them and check it out in person. Don't buy from overseas especially if you have all these resources here already.
This is coming from a guy that used to sell engines for a year. So take the advice as you will.

^^^just like azndoc said. socal is where its at man. you can walk around and find any motorset from easily. why go overseas when you can get in here in your own backyard?
-at least in person you can check it out and some shops even offer start up gurantees.

JPRmotors in el monte is the shizzle!
the best service ever. and a HUUUGGE warehouse of engines. they quoted me 1800 for motorset on ca and 2300 installed. mind you that was a few months ago but still one of the best shops in socal

i think that rnd was running a ca installed special also.
-correct me if im wrong
RnD doesn't seem to have too good of a rep lately either........
flashoptions has always had a terrible rep.

CA engine sets from him will run you about $1200 before shipping...He's usually good but its always better to deal with Venus face to face. He'll usually give you better deals when you go up there yourself and wave the money in his face.

Do your own research.
I'm tempted to consider this thread to be trolling, as EVERYONE knows flashoptions is a bad idea.
