I posted this in the For Sale section, but I think I should have posted here.

I was visiting my girlfriend in CA, and we drove from LA. It was just a PO Box, so I'm gonna try to mail him the paperwork stating that he would send me replacement bulbs. I'd like an octane bumper, but not right now. I just want my bulbs!

just a comment...if we are going to write on places that have ripped people off...can we share WHY they "suck" and be more explicit...otherwise it's honestly just hear say and sort of a waste of time for people to read if they don't know why they suck...but i'm just one Solara lover out of many with an opinion.

Speedpeople.com offers an Injen intake for a 99 V6 Solara. After ordering, they take your money and tell you 7-10 days before delivery. A month and a half later still no product, yet they have their end of the deal. After a couple of phone calls and getting the run around I decided that they "suck" as I mentioned before. Just thought I would let you all know that these people are not as quick as their name claims.

I bought some bulbs from a guy on ebay. There was a lifetime guarantee with them, and when one burned out, I was instructed to pay for shipping and handling and to send back the old bulbs. Long story short, it's been 7 months since I paid and sent the bulbs, and not one email response has been made. Oh yeah, the ebay id is buyerzheaven.

Today I received a product, TRD shift knob, from ToyotaTerriotory that I ordered last week. This has been my only experience, but it was a good one because the service was prompt, and the shift knob was the lowest price I could find.

That is correct Flash. But, because there were other bad experiences posted regarding this same company, and because some may have thought that the company was now defunct, I thought I would let everyone know that as of today I had a good experience. I only posted because it was related, and because my experience was current. Sorry if anyone is offended.
