The jury is still out on this one. The fellah seemed nice enough and all, and he offered a decent deal if you acted before the new year. I don't remember if any usual members purchased an engine from them, but a newb showed up with a post count of 1, saying that they had ordered one and would report back on the quality. Haven't heard word since.

I am still waiting for my front clip w/ bodywork. I recieved all of the shipping documents UPS last week, and the clip shipped out Dec. 24 according to the paperwork so I should recieve it in a week or two. It is being shipped to Milwaukee WI, so it will be a couple hour drive for me to pick up. so far flashoptions has been great.

Have you contacted them yet? I'm not sure how they are going to like installing an engine that you sourced elsewhere. I'm sure they will do it.... they're not going to turn away business. I would just feel safer buying the installation AND engine from them.
