Firebird Central Reviews Wanted

I did a search here for reviews and didn't find any ?!?!

I'm looking at purchasing some parts from them, They have the same price on one particular part (identical part) as Hawks but Hawks wants over twice as much for shipping.....

Has anyone had/heard of any issues with Firebird Central before I pull the trigger ?

Thanks,

Re: Firebird Central Reviews Wanted

I bought a full brake line kit to convert my SAE threaded delco brakes to the metric size needed to upgrade to PBR brakes. Everything was smooth and shipping was pretty quick. The quality of the parts look fine. Not sure if they make or it distribute it from someone else, but it looks good. Haven't installed it yet.

I have purchased several things from them with no problems, quick delivery, good fitment. Will buy from them again. Camaro Central I believe is there also.

Correct, Camaro Central is part of their company and I have had a nice experience dealing with them.

Re: Firebird Central Reviews Wanted

I used them to buy the silver hood 5.0 Liter H.O. decals for my 84 T/A. Placed the order Sept 16 and here's what they said on the confirmation.
"STN-2219 is temporary out of stock, will ship order ASAP. Thanks"
So it may take a while. but as long as they look good, what can ya do?

Re: Firebird Central Reviews Wanted

Thanks TTop350, I read some good reviews about Firebird Central so we'll have some patience on this one. they may have to farm it out to a decal printer company (Just a guess) and it takes a little time. anyway, thanks again.
