NOTICE! alert guys ebay seller "THEPARTSPLACE INC" stay off this guys he'S realy smooth with descriptions and pictrues. The reproduction parts he sells as the best to come on the market are defintley real bad for fit and finish. A friend and I bought several things from him hoping that they would be what was advertised. I emailed before purchase an wanted to known the MFGER of the parts, as I alreday know who makes the better repo's. No answer three times but my friend need his items to get finished so to save some shipping I went along. Bottom line these are real bad Grille moldings- to long , wrong fasteners on one, dull finish and one gauge light on the metal for sure. I am comparing to the better repo parts not NOS. They also don not respond to after sale complaints ans needs I tried for two weeks so now I am posting for others to be carfull!

JUST dont buy from THEPARTSPLACEINC

I have seen "thepartsplace" selling stuff before and have thought about purchasing. thanks for the headsup!

A note to everyone... I sent "85 Camino SS" $1750 as payment for the LS1, trans, etc. and the day before delivery he just vanished.

ALWAYS PAY WITH CREDIT CARD! He kept trying to get me to do a bank transfer... yea, okay! All you do is call the credit card and tell them the item is garbage and not as described. (if it doesn't fit or work for your car, its not as described) I for one, got all my money back since this dick never delivered and is no where to be found.

Cool I've had nothing but positive experiences with The Parts Place! They were more than helpful on the phone and prompt in returning emails (always within 24hs except weekends) and even suggested another vendor when they did not have a part I needed right away. In fact the person I was dealing with called and made sure they had it before telling me to call them! Cool
