Guest iskone Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I would have to say that I have called them 4-6 times and sent them about the same amount of e-mails over the lst few months. http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/ I have never had a response from them and one time I even asked if they really wanted to sell me any body parts. So basically have you or anyone you ever talked to them? How about buy their porducts? The G-nose for example. Thanks Isk one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 ha ha ha... I've never tried to phone them but I have emailed them, and I got the same response as you... NONE! I wonder why they bother to pay for upkeep of a website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 It is a shame really. I want that G-nose!!! But I'm not want one to just buy somthing I see in a picture without any knowlodge of it. I really don't get these guys I have tried approaching them a few diffreent ways with no response. I have even used different e-mial accounts, but still nothing! F@!<ERS!

CruxGNZ Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Please do a search for showcar body parts. They have been talked about before. You will find what you need to know about thier G-nose. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Thta still doesn't mean I can get a hold of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Thta still doesn't mean I can get a hold of them No, it does not, but if you did search will find some VERY good information on thier G-nose. I would suggest reading these posts before you plunk down the amount of $ they are asking for this piece. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Yeah I searched for the g-nose before but not a whole lot comes up. I already knew by looking at the pic of their g-nose on ebay that it is rough. Besides when you try and contact someone over and over but they don't respond you know somthing is up! Really I just want something to stretch out the front of the car since I am trying to plan out an all wheel drive setup. I also think that there is a better looking front than the one that comes with the 280YZ wich I intend to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Yeah I searched for the g-nose before but not a whole lot comes up.

Guest iskone Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Yeah thanks Too bad about the G-Nose it might be forced to buy it though. By the way I belive I have solved the all wheel drive setup!!! I can still use my chevy 350!!! As a matter of fact I am very sure I solved the problem! All that is left now is lots and lots of measuring to be sure.

DatsunBoy77 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I emailed showcar once and it took them about a month to get back to me to ask me what car it is for. I had given them a part number and description and they still couldnt figure out what it was withought what car it is for. that seems odd to me.

Guest Drewz Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I had no troubles phoning them but the email was nil for a response. I now own the 4" cowl bolt on 1 piece hood, Filled fender extension, and standard 3" flares. The hod is AAA quality and fits real sweet, same goes for the fender extensions as well. The flares are another story. They will need quite a bit of work but will fit okay. The shipping on the stuff took a bit of time so If you are in a hurry DON'T do it!!! Order in the fall or winter if you must. The hood and fender extensions are in need of nil for prep. The G nose mold they have as you have probably read is not right so the piece can't fit right as well. When I did phone half of the time I was talking to Rob Johnson the owner so that was good but they can be diff. to get ahold of during the summer so be for warned........If anyone is interested the extension or hood pics I can email.......

Guest iskone Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at your pics. You can e-mail me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I was just on their website and it has changed since I was there last. I don't know if anyone has noticed but they have pictures from all over the internet. They have Ted's car with the 280YZ kit, They have a 250 GTO kit ( wich they don't even sell! )and a whole bunch of other cars I have seen in ohter places. I hope they got permission to use those pics. Any body understand the pricing? just another little rant i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drewz Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 They do sell some kits from other manufacturers like the GTO and Cal Z kits for examples. I will send the pics tomorrow as I have the hood pics but will take the flare and extension pics in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drewz Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Pics have been sent. Hope the file wasn't too big for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 No they aren't too big. I"ve got cable. The cowl hood looks good. I didn't see any pics of the rear flares on the car. The front ones look little off too. Thanks for the pics, I hope it looks good when your done Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth-Z Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I purchased one of Show-Cars G-Nose assembly a few months ago. It needs alot and I do mean alot of finnishing work. The glass was paper thin in several areas. I am going to mold it into fiberglass fenders recently acquired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviatorx Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 As evidenced in the many post on Showcars, I've had NOTHING but bad experiences there and would advise taking your business elsewhere. They are completely unresponsive after the sale, and the g-nose will require considerable work to get a correct fit - nearly to the point where you may just as well have built one up yourself! Further to the point of this guy being shameless, he has the balls to use one of MY pics to advertise his crap on the web! John Washington's posts on the cost of a quality parts rings true, and this is a piece that you should not go cheap on (unless you really want to become well versed in fiberglass manufacturing and repair) - let my mistake be your lesson! If you MUST have the Showcars nose just for the looks - then be forewarned... that $495.00 + $75.0 shipping is only the beginning. If John Washington had a nose to sell at $1500.00 I buy it.
