Shops /Stores in the Bay area selling aftermarket car parts
 

Any suggestions on stores/shops that sell aftermarket FRS parts in the Bay area? I'll be in the Bay area later in the year. For instance tail lights, front lips, etc. I'd appreciate any info. Thanks in advance!

I don't stock a ton of "dress up" parts, but I can get a lot of different stuff, and typically in only a day or two's notice.

PM me if you are interested in something specific!

If you were hoping to just walk into a place and grab stuff off a shelf you'll be disappointed... there's nothing like a Super Autobacs or anything like that here. Most of the local shops don't have much of a display or inventory. As @The Racers Line suggested your best bet is to contact them well in advance, figure out what you want to buy and have them order it so it's waiting for you when you arrive. To be honest you might want to figure out if it's even a real savings compared to ordering online or buying where you are from - keep in mind when you buy locally here you'll have to pay the local sales tax which is around 8-10% around the Bay Area.

Some local shops to check out:
@The Racers Line
@Elite Performance
Mann Engineering
@Speed Element
AutoRND
Bayson R (body kits)

I suggest to buy parts online so you can avoid tax cost.

Im guessing the shipping to HI is worse then 8-10% tax

I am assuming he will buy in bay area. later in the year?

I took it as being on a trip. But I guess they can ship to a hotel or wherever they stay

+1 for Neal @The Racers Line

You might as well take a nice drive to the shop because there's going to be some cars there being worked on and there's also a nice pizza place about 15 mins south of the shop. Forgot the name I'll let Neal tell you about that or you can go across the lot and hit up Epidemic Ales and just relax for the rest of the day.
