Has anybody ever had good luck when buying from flashoptions?I was going to go through them, but talked to a few people with horror stories about them. also wondering about racinghard.com. I just found out about them a few days ago. Good deals, but I never heard anything about them. Let me know, thanks

I HAVE HEARD STORIES ALSO, SO I DECIDED AGAINST THEM. OHH AND BY THE WAY THEY CAN SCREW YOU OVER AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. THEY'RE LOCATED OFF US SHORES SO OUR GOVERNMENT CAN'T REGULATE THEM. SO THEREFORE THEY CAN TAKE YOUR MONEY AND ESSENTIALLY NOT SHIP YOUR PRODUCT IF THEY FELT LIKE IT, JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT WHEN MAKING YOUR FINAL DECISION.

I found out from customs people who are buying single order clips are getting screwed. Custom are holding most of the single order clips, i don't know why they won't tell me. The only people who are getting clips are BIG importers who buy by the container full. If u plan on ordering a clip make sure its from someone who buys containers at a time. Its getting harder and harder to get SR's and RB's in the country not unless u buy it from a Big importer who has the money to buy in large amounts.

So beware ... i would only buy from someone who has it in stock not from someone who says that they can get it!

Atlanta Facilities, is up but because of the price difference,we sell clips at USD2800.00

customer walks in and make an order... it worth much more than a mere USD1850.00

we make almost USD1000 per clip.That's why we're sending to atlanta and having them sold.

that's the reason why..

hey flashoptions if we buy a clip from you, and then we swap it over turn the key and hear a rod knock or anything that sounds real bad will u replace it for us?

Do u make sure 100% the motor is in working condition before u send them out to people?

Also, if we were to cheat, we would have cheated them long time ago... we have almost USD300,000 worth of our customer money in our bank and some of them that cannot wait any longer we give them a refund + interest... we want to keep a bit of dignity at least even thou refunding them... we must find the correct way of sending before expanding our business....

Give us 1-2 month... to clear all this shipping problems.. .. then we'll be having a 1 Year aniverssary...

7 Front Clip SR20DET Red TOPfirst come first serve.... USD2000 SHIPPED

only 1 customer at one time...

we'll be sending to long beach port and once it's cleared only we're selling them...

We'll keep you posted...

i think its fair to give me a refund plus interest. my name is Dustin Vitek and i paid you for a CA18det clip almost 6 months ago. you keep saying you have shipping problems and everything, well sorry but thats not my problem. its your responsibility to get me the motor that i was promised. if you want to have a better rep, this would be a good first step.

I'm with you! If you want a deal on a sr20det (clip or no clip) Id have to go with someone with a rep! ! Like ala HEAVY THROTTLE or PHASE2! They have a very good reputation and also have many peps that have bought from them! phase2 can get red top front clips for 2500 or something like that!?Its pretty much up to you on to who you want to buy! But if you or anyone else gets jipped, just rigt it up on the F-alloy or Nico! i'm out!:ylsuper

Fellas,

most of this kind of traffic should be via emails.

I'll go ahead and close the thread.
