is it just me? 70 percent of everything has been crap. either wrong part, very poorly made, attitude, claim they never have any complaints with there parts, bullshit.
The last part I ordered.
Vert molding stuck out, scratched, sharp bottom edge and had a 1/4" gap between the rubber striping and the plastic molding.

a lot of it is. I accidentally broke a friend's hood/windshield panel when we were doing his engine brace. and I bought a replacement from them. the weather stripping is separating from the plastic and the car is hardly driven and garage kept. I contacted them and asked for a replacement, they basically said there's nothing they can do.

I did some body repair on my 5.0. Bought a headlight panel and radiator support from them. It was a good price, but when I got my rad support it had a huge made in Taiwan sticker on it. The headlight panel was decent quality. After that I got some motor parts like bolts and gaskets and that stuff was good quality.

If you buy their sve stuff, you get what you pay for but everything else like other brands is on the original manufacture.

Had a buddy just buy a sve radiator & off road x pipe. The radiator was a nice piece, fit great. Only problem was, it didn't have the plugs for the auto tranny lines. But the x -pipe. wow that was a giant pos. The bents were crap, the fitment was crap. Bolts didn't even fit.

Duncan, the weather stripping they sell for the door to body and for sun roofs. Is that any good?

I too recently purchased one of the aluminum 3 row SVE radiators for my daughters 95.
It can't be any worse than the Fluidyne radiator I had in there a few years back, that thing sprung leaks EVERYWHERE.
Still working on a few things on the car so it still has zero miles on it.

Only fitment issue we had were, the fox rad holders needed to be bent a little. It was in a 85, not a sn95. But I would assume they sent you the same one we got.

I have had mostly positive experiences with LMR. I have bought quite a few Fox parts in the past couple of years restoring mine and my son's GT's. The one item (A Fox front bumper cover)i had problems with was returned and refunded without any hassle. Other than that, i have been quite satisfied with all other purchases from LMR.
