No I have not received a shipping notice I did get the refund posted back to my CC for that rear cover that they could not ship do to size and it shows that my CC has been charged the remaining amount.

That sounds about right. When I got the e-mail regarding the rear cover I responded with ok fine give a refund for that part and to process the order for the other part and 2 mornings latter I had a e-mail indicating they had given me a refund and processed the rest of the order

I've recently run across another parts discounter called DiscountPartsMonster.com. I've found a few parts that I needed that are kind of hard to find and they were cheaper than anyone else.

Very nice. It does provide peace of mind and a clean setup for factory. If you lowered your car, though, it would be still useless. I'd keep the stock 18" wheel in the back for emergencies!

I lowered my car an inch when the coilovers were installed and the spare tire is still functional.
what did you mean?

I sent Megazip another msg asking about the shipping. It's time for them to get off the dime. That price is not that good to wait this long. Will let you know what they say.

thanks for the update Dennis.
did you see the other website Harold posted?
i put the same parts in the Cart and I plan to use them if Megazip does not ship soon.
their shipping was reasonable except for the spare tire cover...

Dennis,
here is the message I received from Megazip...it sounds reasonable so I will give them a chance...I hope to see “shipped” on my order tonight.

We received information from the stock that there is unexpected delay of spare parts from manufacturer. Due to a technical error this information was not provided to us timely.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and waiting.
The parts should arrive to the stock later today, they will be able to ship the order either today evening or tomorrow morning.
We will keep you posted.

Best regards,
Anastasia

I did not get that message I got a repeat of the first one. I canceled the order and requested a refund. I don't mine waiting a few days when you place an order with someone for it to ship but I felt like they did not even know if the part was in stock or when it might be. I felt it was time to move on.
