I totally agree. I just ordered sub-frame connectors and a new T-top headliner this past Tuesday and everything arrived by the end of the week! That made me very happy. Thanks HAWKS!

hawks is a good company, but if you shop around you're probably going to find a better deal. they seem to be a little expensive though. After I ordered my zr1s from hawks I hopped over to SLP's website to check them out in greater detail. anyways, slp was selling them 100 bucks cheaper.

all our board sponsors are great people to deal with, just not always the cheapest. just shop around like anything else and you'll be fine.

I disagree, the cheapest price isnt always the best deal. Look on this site and that will tell you. This site and the one at the bottom was here because people were ripped off. Slow shipping and NO shipping. So, if its cheaper then its a cheap part. I ended up saving over 100.00 going with Hawk rather then buying directly from ACC. Shop around of course, look at reviews before you order. This site is valuable if used correctly.

What problem did you have with the sunvisors? I also ordered the kit and installed the headliner but I could not get the sunvisors to go on. What did Bruce tell you to do to in stall them. I still cannot get them on.

Thanks,

Good to know!

Im planning to order som stuff from them, so I sent them an email checking on special arrangements for shipping a few days ago, but haven't gotten any response yet.
Im sure I'll hear from them when they get to it, so then it's great to hear that they are reliable and good to deal with!

On your old sunvisors where they mount there is a bushing in them.Take it out with needle nose and istall in the new visors.Mine work great now

Just ordered a fibreglass Aerowing from Hawks today, and the shipping cost to the UK was pretty good. Ordering was really easy and the lady I spoke to today very pleasant and efficient. Good to see customer service still being delivered by some companies.

banker,
I noticed you're from "over here" as well - did you get the quote upon an email request or did you have to call?
I have yet to get a response from them since I emailed them..

Hi Ken

Had to send a couple of e-mails and it was about a week before reply, however when I called them it was all very straight forward. The shipping quote was e-mailed to me but it's usual to get a quicker response with most businesses if you phone.
Good luck

I stopped by the body shop to check on my car and the body man told me to get a new passenger side mirror gasket. The one that was on there was cracked up, so I called Hawks because the part is discontinued just to make sure they had some in stock before I went and ordered it off the site and she actually gave me a price that was lower than on the site and also shipped it to me for free. Great people!

I usually make sure that the product is exactly the same as the more expensive one first, if you order any Spohn parts dont go through hawks go directly to spohn.net, alot cheaper.
