bace Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 i havent really found too many places to buy these. there is a pair on ebay for $770 shipped and a friend at a dealership can get them for $100 less than the ebay one. does anybody know where they might be cheaper? nothing in the members classified. maybe a salvage yard? any recommendations would be appreciated. thanks.

bluesuby Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I found that salvage yards have gone high tech and many have a computer directory to find parts. I remember getting a tail light for an old Ford located by a local yard but shipped from the Chesapeake Virginia area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I bought mine from the dealership... they were expensive and made very little difference in the handling of the car. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC GT Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I just bought some Spec B parts (radio, steering wheel) from a salvage company called Millenium Auto Sales. I found them off of car-part.com. Call them up at 586-336-9600 and ask for Frank. The Spec B in question was a rollover, so it's got a lot of good parts. Frank says the seats and door cards are in great condition, he thinks the struts are fine, he's got the 6 speed transmission, the engine. Don't know how the rear trailing arms would fare in a rollover, but it's worth giving him a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossing509 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I second the 'junk yard' idea - but I wouldn't really call them junk yards anymore. There's a local one that can get spec b lower control arms for $125 each. I haven't looked into the rears yet but I'm sure they'd be able to find them. Bluesuby was right - they're able to find parts all over the country. ...Support your LGT community... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 If you can get them cheap, go for it. It is really only good as a "bling" mod... This is what you see between the rear quarter panel and the wheel. http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/4356/img3251ag9.jpg The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little off topic: Realized that the steering wheel (with radio controls) was from a 2008, which wouldn't be plug and play for my 2005 due to the different sized air bags, so I'm not getting it. If anyone is interested in it, you can contact Frank at the number above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
