Chewievette Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I've been considering buying their 280zx widebody kit for a while now. But the only way I'd do it is if I tell him exactly when I'm going to be picking it up. Then the only major problem (I hope) is fitment, I hear its slightly more than a pain. edit: I just noticed that you live in Toronto. Showcars is based somewhere near there so I guess delivery wouldn't be a problem for you either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I've been to his shop (well barn, really) and he has some seriously cool parts there, NOS from as far back as the 30's and so many used body panels from so many different makes its staggering. The owners name is Rob and he's a good guy, but not much of a business man, and fiberglass work isn't their forte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I've been there too.. I met up with Glen there (member DOT, V12 jag guy) and I wont speak for him, but I was not impresed.. the 'work' that was in progress (some sort of body kit.. I guess..) looked a little hack, and it was the most disorganized place I had ever seen.. and I have worked in a wrecking yard! The guy may be a nice person, but I got the impression hes a scam artist and I don't think I'd buy anything from him.. even though it's local to me and I could pick up..

Dan Juday Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 He's used pics of my car on his site to sell his glass. John Washington and I had to threaten legal action before he would remove them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I went to John to get a cowled hood and hes been nothing short of fantastic to talk to. He was really good about getting it shipped to Minnesota, no one else would. If I buy any more car body parts they're going to be from him.

NZeder Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Do a search here on HZ. Showcars has a terrible reputation!!! I emailed them re getting the covered headlight extensions still no reply and that was weeks ago (timezones and international tolls = I do first contact via email then based on response/feel I will call etc to do business) so they have lost me as an international buyer etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I've tried E-mailing them twice and I've only gotten a reply AFTER I talked to him on the phone ...go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I forgot to mention that too.. I e-mailed them (showcars) several times, and did recieve a reply.. but it seamed to be 'pushy' and kind of vauge. I felt like a slimy used car salesman was talking to me, and that they really didn't care about my needs/car.. just wanted my $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkube Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I bought the 3 pc rear spoiler from him, and no problems. He delivered on time (actually I picked up from him) quality is good, but I always expect to do a little trimming fo fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
