I've ordered lots of parts in the past few weeks and I just wanted to give credit where it is due.

Gert and Maureen @ Carnewal. I've ordered a ton from him since I got my car in October 2003. My most recent purchase was the X74 suspension and engine protection plate. As usual I got great service, shipping and email contact from everyone at Carnewal!

Phil and Ric @ Suncoast Motorsports in FL. I ordered a few little things from them over time, but my last order was HUGE. Tequipment roll bar, 2 GT3 Seats, anti sub cross member and the little kit to fill in the holes left from removing the rear seats. They handled all my requests, put up with my constant emails asking for tracking numbers and gave me an awesome price on the whole package. Thanks guys!

Bob and Laurette @ Stable Energies. They have been my source for safety equipment for several years now. They hooked me up with the brackets necessary for the fire extinguisher and a nice 2.5 halotron unit to go in the bracket. I also got 2 sets of DEIST 6 points harnesses from them in red. Very nice set of belts, had a pair of black ones in my Audi TT at one time. Laurette was super helpful on the phone(first time working with her) and got my stuff out the door and to me on time, even though there was a typo with my credit card number that had to be fixed.

Jeff @ GHL Motorsports. I put a bypass exhaust on my car and thought I could live with it but I couldn't. I needed an exhaust ASAP before I take a long trip next week and Jeff came through on what was a holiday(Good Friday) for many of us. I called him up and he put something together at a great price for me and it would have been here Tuesday, but FedEx was delayed because of T-Storms so I got my GHL loud exhaust yesterday. Great price and service, both Jeff and Cindy were fun to talk to and very informative.

Last is Eric @ Bumperplugs. We ran into some problems with a part I was having painted, and at first I was really upset with how it turned out and everything was all handled, but I've thought about it and he did the best he could do, it was just a series of mix ups and hey we are all human. The bottom line is that in the end, I got what I wanted and I am very pleased with the quality of the paint job, as I have been with the other products I've ordered from Eric.

Last would be Chris @ EP IMporters/AM Blubs. I had a bunch of questions and concerns which he took care of via email. I also needed my order shipped fast which it was and he even gave me a $5 off coupon for shipping without my asking.

So consider this my plug or thank you to these retailers. Thanks guys!

Oh and in case anyone is wondering the X74 is awesome in every way. I thought the GT3 seats + roll bar + suspension would make the car too harsh, but it's perfect. The ride height looks incredible and there is zero body roll.
