Stock any body parts at all? Are there any real companys out on this forum?


I want to get some body parts but every where I turn "special order" 7 years to get. Come on people if you want to make money you got to spend a little to get some in return.

 

I know what you mean
everything is a huge wait
I will tell you why

its a rx8 which is kinda rare
compared to a civic, accord, prelude, integra etc etc
I hate it too

 

Mike, I am sorry to say the RX-8 is a nice car but........ not rare by any means. They are all over the place around here.


I like the r-magic front end and the autoexe.

If someone had one or the other in stock NOW I would gladly take it off there hands.

Yea ive decided to keep my 8. Ive got the sides and rear i want but i want the autoexe front and im dreading the wait when i order it.

 

Same here I got the real mazdaspeed rear wing,rear end, and sides but want a different front end only because mazda does ot offer it pre painted in yellow

 

Where I am at, I only see a few RX-8's a week. Any other car (350, g35, s2000...) I see more the once a day.

 

RX-8s are ... uncommon. And most of the bodykits need to be shipped, which causes the long waiting process... Yea it sucks

 

i would say the s2000 is just as rare or more rare IMO

 

hmm... might have to agree with you there Mike

 

I know the rx8 isnt super rare
but it is less common then g35, 350z , integra, 3 series bmw etc, civic, preludes ,is 300 lexus

many shops wont carry stuff that doesn't sell often in stock

 

It all comes down to carrying cost and inventory turns. If a suppliers has to sit on a product for lets say 3 months without selling one it is cheaper for him to not even sell them. The cost of carrying items far out weights the sale. Lets say a 1000$ bumper sits on the shelf for 3 months. The cost of carrying that bumper is like 80$ a month. Now after 3 mths it is now 240$ it cost them to have it. Now if they do sell it for let say 30% above their 700 cost, they would have made 60$ on paper but in reality would of loss money after you factor in freight,processing charges, bank fees and all other little things that get factured in prices..now this would all be a mout point if they sold 4 or 5 a month of the same Item then that would justify the stock.

 

Also, people like INGs make to order, so thats part of the wait - I had a 12 week wait for my INGs front bumper - but it was worth the wait
