Default Japanparts.com - opinion needed

Does anyone have any experience of these chaps, I need to order something from them & its not cheap, so I want to be sure they aren't going to run off with my hard earned.

opinions good & bad are welcome, thanks

i have never used them, but i have used JDM Parts, JDM Racing accessories, HKS, Greddy, Blitz, Tomei and more direct from Japan - RHDJapan and they are superb. so if you need parts from japan, they get my vote (if they have what you need that is!)

I wanted the harness only for one JDM HID headlight, as the ones I bought off eBay had one missing, two emails later and it was listed as a part on their website (they'd previously only supplied it with the ballast). A week later it was on my car!
No complaints at all - although the emails were interesting to read!

Thanks for the opinions guys. I checked RHDJapan & they have a similar part, but its for an Evo - it would fit, but would look wrong. I think I'm going to order the part I need from Japan Parts & pay for it on my Visa - that way I should be protected.

Used them again last week for a bonnet scoop (STI) which was less than a used part from a UK breakers! and grille badge. Took 5 days to deliver to my door, even with it being retained by customs for VAT payment!
