anyone buy from http://www.raceonusa.com

They probably got the biggest MR2 selection, other then companies that specialize in MR2 body parts. Just wondering if their products are good quality.

Seems ok from all the different angles they show of every body part...

I will be in 2 weeks. Im buying CF mirrors.

I called them, I will be buying all my CF products after tax return time, CF Hood, Trunk, Engine Lid and CF Bomex style scoops. I asked about bulk discounts and such. They seamed very cooperative, we had a nice conversation about mr2's. Im pretty sold on buying from them. I'd also like to know if anyone had experiences with them.

i did buy from these guys!

About a year ago, i did a group buy on the other site involving TRD replica wings for the mr2. I had 5 orders and was priced very nice. I ordered them and the stuff arrived about 2 weeks later. The shipping company left the box on my door step so i couldnt inspect the package. I open the package to find 4 yellow wings which were from vis racing and a blue wing. I thought it was kinda funny so i took out the blue wing out of the packaging to find it was a 99 TRD replica celica wing. I checked 1 other wing and found it was the correct wing. So i left the other wings in the original packaging and shipped the 4 wings out to the people involved with the group buy. After the other guys recieved there wings, we learned that they shipped me 2 TRD Replica wings, 2 98+ wings, and the celica wing.

I contacted the owner of raceon which was the person i was dealing with. with many emails with pictures, and phone calls, the owner decided i was lying and trying to scam him. Unfortunatly this company made me look bad to 2 good members of the board, and left me with a crappy wing i could not use, or sell since they go for about $40 bucks on celicatech. I was out money and pride. Took me almost 5 months to find the right wing. The last phone call i had to him ended with him swearing at me calling me a liar and some rather rude names. I did file with the local chamber of commerce and regional BBB. Nothing came of it unfortunatly.

There prices are great, they are a reselling company, most of the time they have there stuff drop shipped directly to you from the manufacturer. personally if its fiberglass, i would go to body-tune.net or vis racing. If its carbon fiber....again there prices and shipping are awsome, customer service gets a big fat 0 from me though.

I think he is still number 7 on my people to kill list.

Wow, thats not a very good story. KInda makes me wonder, but again, I cant find CF Prices lower than theirs and if they are going to work with me for a bulk buy; its kinda hard to say no. I hope I dont have the same type of issue. I'd be flying out there to deal with him in person.

Thanks for the review. That would be a big fat no for me then. Customer service is priority with me. If they are *******s I wont deal with them if they were selling products for half the price of anyone else.

that really pained me to say that in my review, but unfortunatly its correct. Ya just cant find prices like they have, and yes, i did get really fast shipping from them. And yes, i almost flew out there, but i think i would of gotten hostile if he called me a liar to my face and i was already out enough money as it was. This was a all a year ago so who knows, they might have changed there ways. let us all know how your transaction with them goes.

I wouldnt risk it even though the prices are cheaper. I do remember pheonix spending a great deal of time managing the gb.

I def will keep you guys posted. I called the one sales guy up and talked to him. I explained to him what happend and he really didnt have an explanation for PHOENIX's issue. I didnt mention any names just what happened and he seemed to recall it. He said that was during a rough time with their business. So I hope my transactions go a little more smoothly. We'll see.

Yea, Ive checked out MadPSI's website. I do like some of their stuff but its just too expensive right now for CF. Im trying to customize 2 vehicles so its challenging.

Damn, why do they call it raceon? If it actually had some performance parts besides a blowoff valve (which btw im sure everyone with a mk1 has a turbo unit) i might actually buy something. But honestly a universal wing that is 56" and has 2800 lights and in the picture is on a rsx doesnt urge me to shop there. Sorry for my ranting, but i dont see carbon fiber fender flares helping me race at the local auto x...that is all, Merry Christmas

I think I'm going to get ahold of them and see. They carry all of the parts I need for my s14.5 conversion on my 240. All for under $3k too. We'll see how it goes.
