What vendors would you recommend?
Hey guys. I've been looking to purchase the STI start stop button as well as an armrest. I've seen them both offered multiple places with quite the range of prices. I was hoping you guys could offer some advice about the quality and reputation of the vendors.
First off, I found the armrest on JPM Coachworks and it appears to be the same as the one Nigel JDM is selling. However there is a $90 difference. Do you have any experience with these vendors? I read a large thread about the armrests and it seems like a lot of you guys bought from Nigel before his prices went up. Secondly, the push to start button. It seems like most of you got yours from Japan Parts. Nigel is selling one too but it is more expensive. What would you guys recommend? Do you have any other vendor suggestions? I'm looking for the cheapest one but still has good quality! Thanks Edit: Long time lurker, first time poster. Guess I should add that Last edited by lrobinson; 09-09-2014 at 12:04 PM. |

If those are your vendors, go with whichever is cheaper. They're both known around here.

just go to your dealer for most of these it will be a similar maybe even cheaper price vs the people shipping them in from japan. since we have the series blue now we have access to most of the parts much easier(start button, ground effects, etc).
Nigel JDM is known for letting you order parts he doesn't have in stock and then you have to wait a month for him to get it in. I am not saying don't buy from him cause you will get your part, I would just shoot him a PM to see if its in stock first and get an actual idea of how much you would have to wait to get your parts in.(happened to me with start button) http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ght=nigel+slow

I purchased my armrest from Nigel and had no problems. I purchased my start button from @RallySport Direct and it is currently on sale!

I've purchased from Nigel.
Got a group buy started on the part I wanted and was able to get if for $60 cheaper . Also was quoted 4 weeks for delivery but received in less than 3 (it was an overseas Japan part only ordered on demand). |
