Where do you guys shop?
 
Hi guys,

I was looking for a thread on this but didn't find one so I decided to make a thread on it to see where everyone shops for their aftermarket goods.

Where do you shop for LED/lighting?
Exhausts?
Wheels?
Etc. :)

I've seen ft86speedfactory before but not sure if it's the best/cheapest place to purchase parts and all.

If this was a thread please delete it admin. Sorry! :respekt:

P.S. sorry if this sounds like noobtastic but I've never actually purchased stuff for my car before.

Where the deals are. :P

Also, certain shops that specialize.

Like I would buy suspension from a shop that knows about suspension set-ups for our application etc.

So I don't have any loyalty to a certain shop. If I can buy the same thing somewhere cheaper and they can't match the price, I buy from the other shop.

Just do your research. I can't say which place to buy XXX part, because there may be somewhere cheaper.

All I can tell you is how much I got my part from the place I bought it. Maybe I got hosed :p

I shop either with FT86SpeedFactory or GrimmSpeed directly. Really good so far!

I shop all kinds of places depends what I'm buying.

For the most part though I go directly to manufactures if they will sell direct to consumer if they do don't be fooled by their "online pricing" that is almost always higher than the other "authorized dealers" you can get them to come down and beat almost anyone's price moat of the time.

If they will not sell direct to consumer or budge on their price I will find out who their largest dealers are and start making calls to see who well give me the best price as the largest dealers get the best pricing most of the time, so they can give the best discount.

If I go with what I have on my pad here for my build I am starting to pull the trigger I will save a total of nearly 4,000 dollars doing this so far between the cai, pulleys, body kit, and wheels I have saved $1970 off of the "cheapest" pricing I could find online and have managed to get it all from manufactures or the manufactures largest dealers and everything has full warranty on it.
