From the last 2 years of collecting parts and really driving my build I've come across some local and far shops that have been over-the-top helpful and I think it's time to get thier name out.
Just like BC racing and ISR that started years ago with everyone bashing them, this day and age isn't too different.
The only exception is that the internet is so advanced we now have tons of options. Here's a few great companies that I've done business with.
(I'll be adding vendors as I find them. If you guys have any local people in your states that are an asset, throw them up here as well, in the format that I have)

If anyone was interested, I just came across this on Facebook they replicate the OEM floors mats of a few cars s13-15 (LHD AND RHD), r32 and r33 for now (but more will come)
I haven't bought anything from them yet but, figured it would begreat for us on here that always seem to some other floormats or some shit in our cars.
Oem fit and even better quality. Check them out. $300 for a set may sound steep. But, IMO it's brand new premium quality stuff and it's worth it.
The guys here aren't my friends or anything either, just seems like a good company doing honest business.

Here in SoFlo these guys are THE S-CHASSIS GO TO for any s-chassis owner. They buy tons of s-chassis parts and house them for the community for purchase. In the last two years they've done some expansion and now have an even larger inventory. They are now paired with Murderfab and Treadstone performance
These guys are good friends of mine and do an amazing job with thier customer service and getting things to the drivers In a timely manner. Hit them up on Instagram or Facebook for quicker responses.

My boy Kory! This guy is a Miami local that does amazing carbon work for cheap. He's new to the game but, that leaves room for innovation.
Hit him up on Instagram to see his work and get some insight on the process and how it's done. Just for shits and giggles he's got an s15 with a 2j and an s13 so you know he's about that life.

http://jdmbuyer.com/ - Import shop

I first heard about these guys on YouTube. That was 2-3 years ago and here I am today getting tons of shipments a year.
I choose these guys for a fair amount of importing of rare parts due to how easy they make the process on YAJ or UpGarage. Trevor is happy to talk with you about anything you need, and as a plus they import cars.
Customer service is getting there, but they've just become to busy over the years it makes sense.

Right-Hand Autosports LLC. - Specialty Shop - Import shop
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=oY-9EDnJ_R0 (Yep, he built that Clean ass Honda)
This shop is small but, man are they good.
"Founder Mike Buritica has always been a serious enthusiast for older Japanese vehicles. In 2015, the demand for imported, classic Japanese vehicles was increasing. Many importers were bringing in cars by the masses from overseas; however, there were limited importers actually presenting quality cars. In 2016, Mike decided to combine his hobby and skill set for older Japanese cars, and Right-Hand Autosports was established. Right-Hand Autosports is located in sunny South Florida and prides itself on an emphasis of quality over quantity."
Additionally fun fact, this dude worked on the F1 team for Ferrari extensively, so you know his attention to detail is one point.
They help import cars and parts at your discretion but pride themselves on thier work on cars and making them look clean. Very few shops get my business, but this is one of them.

This guy sells the highest quality bags for your coilovers for the cheapest price. $550. mind blown.
On top of that he sells the custom universal floor mats and even sells fabric prints if you wanna reupholster your seats and stuff. Just a really awesome, stand up guy that does honest good work.
