protomotorsports blows. cars are horrible, people are OK on a personal level but not really on a business level...

best to just stay away haha.

$400.00 overage is normal in life to you? idk where you buy parts from but i would hate to buy a shock and spring combo set for $800.00 when you could buy a full set of coilovers for the same price.

offtopic- I was raised in Lompoc, it was a nice little town at the time.

Now it looks like its getting bad.

Anyways like they said your better off buying it from someone in your area.

Proto nah!!! look around in your area.

also maybe you can try G-dimention ask for James, but most of the shop dont really have 240sx for sale now... if does they are customers that want to sell their own ride. Also too bad.. friend of mine just sold his 93 black top coupe for 3500 super clean he was in hurry to sell it b/c hes moving back to Taiwan on the 11th.

stay awayyyyyyy from them. I went to go look at a car awhile back. It was such a waste for me to go all the way out there from Orange County to look at their POS cars and not fully disclosing anything before I drove up.

everything is over priced and anything decently priced is junk. anything decently price online isnt for sale anymore, its just to get people to click and go to their store.
