These companies are driving me crazier in the last month. 1st I spend $2,500 total for a Choo Choo SS nose (that they raised the price $600.00 in Jan. of 2018 when Lauren went out of business) the fit is really crappy. DisHonest Charley’s sales Mgr. kept saying, well it is an after market fiberglass part. I had to shim alonh the core support 5/16s of an inch to get the top hood,fender alignment. Where the bottom part wraps around the fenders is a nightmare. He told me I could send it back “at my cost “ for them to check. Hell they glued the headlight adjusters in wrong, they’re cockeyed. 2nd the LED headlight kit I bought from Top Gear Motorsport was a joke. They recieved it back over 2 weeks ago and iI still haven’t recieved the refund. 3rd the headlight kit I bougt from Headlight Experts was easy to install once I figured it out without any directions. But the one glass houing was broken in they’re inept shipping box. I send it back 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard crap. And I had to pay $13.00 shipping to send back 1 headlight housing. Going CRAZIER in Pgh.

Wouldn’t be surprised to find out Coker owns both instead of just DisHonest Charley’s
Never had a problem with Speedway, but they do sell some real crap (especially the private label stuff). Just have to know what you're buying.

I'm a little miffed at Procharger. I had my Dick and Jane instruction book out and they weren't real clear on the supercharger bracket. On the page pertaining to my setup ( they used a lot of 6.1 SRT pictures also) they show the same 3 bolts removed as the previous pages, where a midplate not included in my kit bolts to. I called ATI Procharger and got ahold of "Preston" who didn't know if I should or shouldn't have a midplate, took my phone number and said he would get back to me...………......Still waiting for that. Figured out where it bolts to (not the 3 bolts they said to remove) and moved on. No callouts on spacers needed on the intercooler and the one that grieves me the most, a picture of the engine cover cut saying "cut it like this" ,would it f$%king kill you to send a template with a $6500 kit? Overall, everything I needed was there and it makes the car awesome, but if you're going to make a 30 page instruction manual it should at least be accurate or have the common decency to call back and at least leave a voicemail like you care.
^^i agree^^some company's are either lazy or assume that anyone installing their products are master techs/rocket scientists that sh*t ice cream and never need help @ any turn.but maybe there's no good help out there.i was working on something this week and all it came with a was a warning card of what not to do.nothing about the revised wiring.
i bought a wiring kit to wire my car a few years ago and called the tech line maybe three times over the coarse of that summer and the person on the other end was just so bother to answer my elementary questions.he did but very poor attitude.I'm a doll when calling for help because I NEED IT,I'm not all condesending blowing smoke looking to waste anyone's time.their's not enough hours in my day to be that guy.

No one can forget my joy with Pypes with the 2.5" MCSS style dual kit. Still can't believe the admited there was on issue with the one tail pipe & told me to have a shop fix their mistake.
Yep, many aftermarket parts just plain suck. Sometimes I wish I would've just kept my 85 442 completely original since it seems almost every aftermarket part I've installed has given me problems in some way, shape or form. This is one of the reasons I'm not going EFI. I just don't trust it.
