DO NOT repeat DO NOT buy from them.  I needed a rear bumper for a Nissan
Pathfinder, and they had it cheaper than anyone else.  At the time, they
did not list thier shipping charges, but stated "UPS charges will be added
to order total."

So, I placed my order.  2 weeks went by, no bumper.  Waited 2 more weeks,
no bumper. Called them, they gave some BS about the part being
backordered.  Nice of them to tell me.. the sure managed to charge my
credit card on time though.  3 weeks later, the bumper came.  Checked my
CC bill, they charged $68 to ship it!  Now this is not a full-length
bumper, just a center section, about 36" long and weighs less than 10
lbs.  Checking the package weight and dimensions with UPS, it would have
been around $15 for shipping it.  The bumper itself did not fit my stock
trim pieces.  It was of noticably thinner gauge metal than the original,
and it began to rust within 3 months of installation. Crappy quality,
poor customer service, and ripoff shipping... I would not reccomend anyone
do business with this company.

Pothead drives usually occurred around three times a week in the fall.    
Hundreds of potheads would be killed at a time, thousands in a single
year. Old folks described the water after a drive to be like a sea of
blood which would last for hours on end.
