Duff Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Just an fyi for anyone condidering sheet metal parts. I just ordered an outer wheel well housing from Tabco in Ohio,and the web page price was $79+ but it turns out that was the 2003 price. the new price is $126+ Still cheaper than Black Dragon. They said they would update the web, but didn't sound to enthusiastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z2go Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yea, they aren't really motivated to update their pricing. I bought some doglegs from them, and they had their original pricing of $45, turned out to be more like $75 each after I placed the order. That was over six months ago. I highly doubt they are going to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Same experience I had months ago. What a way to run a company. Maybe that's why their panels are sh%t too. Their QC department is asleep at the wheel also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Threaten to turn them in to an interstate commerce regulating body for bait-n-switch. Many states have laws regarding posted prices versus what 'scans' at the register. If enough people MAKE them honor their pricing through threatend reporting to regulatory officials, perhaps they will be a little more proactive on updating pricing, or make a more prominent CALL FOR LATEST PRICING disclaimer on each page. Don't know until you try, what's the worst they can do, charge you what they were going to charge you anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their QC department is asleep at the wheel also. Agreed. I got some lower rear quarters from them a while ago, and when compared with the car, the compound curve/corner of the car that it replaces is COMPLETELY off. I don't see it taking any less than a shitload of effort to make that piece right for even a professional. I think it'd be better to just start from scratch if you know what you're doing... The rocker and doglegs were a decent match though, at least as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'm in the same boat as I bought a right side dogleg at the new $75 price and was also told the web site would be updated to reflect price changes. I bought that part a month and a half ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger280zx Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I agree, its amazing the risks people take on things like this. They makes such good parts and yet they're willing to ruin their reputation on acount of a couple extra bucks. Rediculous! I'm with TonyD; threats like that can go a LONG way.
