I purchased many things from Ricks before Ecklers bought them out and never had a problem. I won't do business with ecklers very over priced. They also markup shipping. I just had to replace a door on my camaro, they were almost $100 more than another national company. Shop around before you buy.

Wow, that totally sucks that Ecklers bought them out! Like a lot of the other guys who posted on this, I bought a ton of stuff from Ricks for my 69 RS, and they were awesome every time. I didn't even know they started carrying 3rd gen stuff, but that's probably because Ecklers owns it now. Unfortunately I have to agree with LarryL when it comes to Ecklers. They're ridiculously overpriced! I browse through their catalog once in a while when I need a good, hearty laugh. They're prices are so unrealistic it puts me into fits of laughter! If I remember right, I think that "Next Generation" catalog is also put out by them, and it really only worthy for lining your bird cage, unless you're looking for a bunch of non-stock, unnecessary aftermarket garbage that goes for $800 and up! My old man buys Corvette restoration parts from them every once in a while, and he always walks a little funny after getting his credit card statement with their bill on it.

Re: Rick's Camaros?
I got the shaft from them, they advertised an original GM turn sign lever for my 87 camaro on there website, and what i received was a Dorman (help section part at your local parts store) and paid almost $90.00 for it. I had bought the same part at my local Auto Zone prior to purchasing from Ricks for $20.00, and thought it was rather a little cheap looking, so i thought i would pay more for an original, what i got was the same part. They did give me a full refund with return shipping, but i didnt come without a fight. I prefer Classic Industries and Thirdgen Ranch.
