Exclamation Has Anyone Ever Ordered From Year One???

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone on this site has ever ordered body parts from Year One. My Z was hit back in IL by a damn Highlander and i now have these huge dents and scratches along the passenger side of my car. Insurance you say...screwed me over didn't give me close to what i need, it was a damn settlement btwn the two companies.
I took the car to Chevorlet and yep you all guessed it...a fat *** estimate. Talking ballpark $2100. Guy says that i need a whole new door because it is cracked through the door skin and spider-webbed the frame. In addition the quarter panel and the fender need replaced. All in all, it is f*cked up. I found the parts that i need from Year One but some modifications may need to be made in order to fit...is this the same complications that the dealers go through with OEM Parts. Just wanted to get some feedback and fix this damn mess. Thanks all.

I ordered a headliner kit 2dyaair from them for my wife's 88WS6. Took 3.5 weeks to get it. CAlled them three times, they finally answered the 3rd time. The guy was very rude, didn't want to do anything about the fact that I paid for 2 day air. He finally took 20.00 off the shipping. After waiting over 3 weeks I would have expected them to at least do free shipping. HE never apologized for the delay, I would never order from them again. Just my .02.

I've ordered tons of stuff from them over the last 10 years and have always received things packed nicely and at reasonable times. Sometimes things showed up much earlier than expected, it just depends if items are in stock or not.

Ive used Year One for both my LS1, and my 440 GTX. Quality, and service are first rate. The only thing I don't like about Year One is their prices, sometimes they seem too high. It pays to shop around.

Just my 2 cents

Thanks everyone for your input...really helped. One last question, is it smarter to order the body parts for the damaged Z then take it to a body shop and let them put in on....or should i just take it there and let them find the parts and put them on. Which is better??

You certainly could save some money buying the parts yourself, but . . . If there becomes a problem, fit, quality, etc. the body shop may say - "It's your parts - your problem." Where as if they buy them, they have to make them fit. Just a thought.
