exospeed - source racing - franks - strada ----HELPPPP
So i been on the hunt for a 3 piece front end for my 99-00 ek for a lil over 6 months, everyone i ask just gives off a laugh and says "good luck"
ive called and emailed just about every company ...several times
no answer, no call back, nothing!
the closest i got was a txt msg from benny at source racing, (found it kind of odd that a company would respond using a personal line and send a txt) he said he had 3 front ends in stock, i told him to give me a price shipped and if pricing was good im ready to buy asap, he told me he needed to get a shipping quote and he would get back to me....4 days have passed ive sent him a few txts with no response.
shouldn't take 4 days to get a shipping quote...
been looking around on the for sale adds to see if anyone has one posted... nothing as far as i can tell
sooo... im asking the guys here at honda tech for a lil help.....
anyone know where i can buy a 3 piece front for 2000 civic from a REPUTABLE seller
PLEASE HELP

what about JASE Composites? Newer company and I havent seen any bashing threads or anything on them so I'd definitely look that route as well.

Re: exospeed - source racing - franks - strada ----HELPPPP
the most reputable company you mentioned would have to be Franks..... I also believe DP Performance recently became a dealer so you might try and either contact them or Franks directly

For christ's sake don't buy Strada.
Frank recently made an EK 3 piece front, but if you can't get ahold of him it won't do you much good. lol.

What is the deal with these front end companies. Cracks me up thehorrible business ethics. How hard is it to make a product and fulfill the orders I mean seriously
I have a source racing on my integra. Took 3.5 weeks to get made and arrive to my door. Fitment was excellent.

Re: exospeed - source racing - franks - strada ----HELPPPP
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm am also looking for the same front end and have had no luck finding one.
Back at the beginning of December I was in contact with CNY performance in Rome New York (Only about a 4 hour drive from Toronto). They are a Source Racing dealer. They immediately wrote back to my emails and such. At the time they were out of stock. They were suppose to order some on the 18th of December and it would only take I believe he said about a couple of weeks to get. I said I'd contact him again to see if he received any. I have tried contacting them a few times (email and instagram) and now get no answer.
The other option you have is Fullthrottlenyc who apparently carry the Source Racing and also their own branded 3 piece front end.
After seeing the fitment and quality of my buddy's Strada front end, I won't purchase any 3 piece front unless I saw it in person first. That's why the shops above were my the best options for me. The cost of fuel is easily justifiable once you see the cost of freight to Canada. Not to mention the risk you're taking on getting a "fit's great" front end shipped to you.

That's the Honda industry, lots of crooks and shitty small business.
Also beware one of those companies is ripping people off forgot the name.

It amazes me how the Honda front end guys **** up. I mean look at some of the Domestic parts companies like Schoneck Composites, those guys are rolling in the dough! So much money could be made.
