Is Lextasy.com a good place to shop? Where else can you get parts?

I did a lot of searching and basically came up with either buying direct at Swift Technologies or buying the srt intake from lextasy.com. Lextasy had it for a cheaper price....

Lextasy.com is owned by a former (now BANNED) member of CL. Banned for some shady dealings with other members and repeated use of other members photos and DIY tips (on his site as his own). If you want to roll the dice and go with him caveat emptor, SRT is more likely to be able to provide customer service than someone else who is obviously discounting it (you gotta wonder why they are able to do that - I'm guessing it's not due to high sales volume)

They are a CL Approved Vendor (and a very good one BTW!)...they can get almost anything you need at very comptetive prices and excellent service...Check the Vendor Forum for their number...or look at your banner...odds are it should come up!

I let lextasy.com who owns lexusgrill.com chrome my grill, and they did a horrible job chroming my grill, it has already chipped and the only thing they offered to do was give me 20% off of a new grill, but I was not about to give them more money for screwing up my grill. I did recieve previous products I ordered from lextasy.com and they were in good condition however I will not go back, because if there is a problem with any other products, I am convinced that they would not take it back

I would tell them that you are having a problem with your credit card company right now and that you need to cancel your order until you get your problem resolved... I've used that excuse before and I had no problems....

Um, they actually don't chrome your grill. They just take off the black paint.
