I ordered a part from hawks last week and this guy is great to deal with. He gave me a great price on what I needed and shipped it so fast I could not believe when I got it in three days from florida to ohio with regular shipping. Will use him again for future third gen needs.

Yep , Hawksthirdgen are excellent to deal with - I bought brand new original GM T-top roof-rail weatherstripping and 2 torx screws for the interior door handle - Bruce was very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. Parts were delivered extremely quickly to Scotland and I will definitely use Hawksthirdgen again ! A totally troublefree and fast transaction !

cheers

Yeah, I called them regarding a hood too, but they never answered their phone. I tried for days and then just ordered the hood directly from ASCD. Are they out of business or what?

They were at the TA nats...probably didn't even get home til late Monday. They are FAR from out of business. I have been nothing but happy with everything I have gotten from Hawk's, and the great service. They even brought me a set of weatherstrip to the show, to make sure I got it in time.

Only way to go is with HAWKS

I live relatively close to Bruce Hawkins place of business and visit as often as i can. He is a very headsup fellow who knows his stuff and has been a tremendous help to me as a new found camaro owner. I do business with him quite often and he is a very trustworthy and helpful individual (not to mention hardworking) and is very prompt and clean in the way that he runs his business. Bruce is a very family oriented guy and does his best to help customers in any fashion necessary. I can HONESTLY say that I enjoy doing business with HAWKS THIRD GEN PARTS
I plan on continuing to do business with Bruce as long as i own a camaro. See yah in Bristol Bruce!!

I have been looking at hawks for a while now about a used front bumper cover and driver power door, has anybody bought these before? What condition were they in, and what comes with the door? Last but not least, how far are they from Charleston SC?

Since hes dealing with used parts, he'll probably get any range of quality, but generally he's not going to sell anything with major damage. Bruce has always given accurate descriptions of parts when I have ordered. I would think doors would most likely be sold complete...its too much hassle to take them apart. Not sure how far it is from Charleston, but you could always get the exact distance through maps.com or some other mapping site. Hawk's is in Easley, Sc, just outside of Greenville. You'd probably want to drive to pick your stuff up, since it would have to go by truck freight and add another 80-100 to your total.

I recently bought a WS6 sway bar and a steering box brace from Hawks Third Gen Parts for my 92' RS Cami. I went over on a Sunday to pick up the parts and Bruce even took the time to help me install them. The difference is incredible. The front end is remarkably tight now and i couldnt be more pleased.
Preciate it Bruce!

I ordered a Big Block hood by ASCD from them on Sept. 10, Got it Sept. 23. Excellent service and reasonable prices. I"ll probably do business with them again.

No, but I am. Well not Canadians themselves but the Canadian government. I don't know how you guys put up with that ****. You can't even (legally) own a satellite dish? What a load.

Bruce and I are pretty good friends, and I mentioned you to him...he said some guy from Canada had left several messages, and he would have called him back, but he never left the area code...maybe that was you?
