Default Alper Motorsports website security??

I want to order the Alpermotorsports China headstuds but I'm a little sketched out that their website is coming up with a security certificate issue when I go to checkout. I get an error on Chrome and IE.

Anybody else experience this?

thanks

They accept PayPal, so just checkout with that option instead of direct pay.

Certificate issues are almost ALWAYS sites that are using expires certs because they haven't updated their servers. Just read what the error is.

That's not to say you shouldn't be careful but most of the time it's harmless.

My experience with Alper although short was positive.

Ended up getting some from KMJ's ebay site. Should have thought of Alper's ebay site.

I had the same certificate warning. I ordered my 04+ head studs almost 6 weeks ago and have yet to receive them. It's seems ProComp, the manufacturer, has had some quality control issues. I originally ordered from them and they refunded my money stating that they found cracks in several of the studs and refused to ship any in the last 2 months or so. I ordered from Alper only because his site showed them in stock, and I hoped they were old stock. Unfortunately you CANNOT trust the stock numbers on Alper's site.

I ordered 04+ from alper also a few weeks ago and got them in a week. They emailed me first saying they were waiting on a new batch. The ones they ran didn't turn out right. Took a few out they looked fine.....

Why can't yoy trust there part #s?

I ordered 04+ and got exactly that.
