    Just ordered what should be similarly sized parts packages from Frozenboost, Intense and Wbody store all within about 5 minutes of each other. Choosing the cheapest shipping option on all orders (free from WBS). Which package is going to show up first? Which package isnt going to show up at all?!? Will any of them bow out of the race with a email stating parts are not in stock even though they are clearly listed as in stock on their website? Find out in here! As a discussion point who is the BEST vendor in the Wbody community? I feel like I should have ordered something from ZZP just to get them in on this but they didnt have anything for me.


    Edit: Add PRJ to the race too, ill credit him an extra day because I just placed the order and its 5:30pm now

    If you would have bought something from ZZP...say: Camshaft.

    They would send you headers.

    Granted; thanks for that. Not what I ordered.

    FB is pretty legit...never had an issue with them or Intense. Everything I bought from WBS always took a few extra days...smaller operations.

    From hearing all the stories I was nervous with WBS before but I bought HID's from them last year and they showed right up in a few days, they only lasted 2 months but they DID arrive.

    Intense is killing it and it seems they will reign supreme, shipping notification last night. Tracking number comes up as "out for delivery". Frozenboost has confirmed shipping but their at disadvantage coming from CO to MI. No word yet from WBS or PRJ other than "payment confirmation"

    That's because you're supposed to buy HID's from: Best HID Kits, HID Headlights online shopping, LCD Projector/Tattoo Kits/CCTV Systems for sale

    Not a 3800 vendor.

    I gave up on the HID's. Getting pulled over for a headlight out just because of some chinese junk wasnt on my "to do" list. Same reason my tint was only on for 3 weeks.

    Sounds like Michigan suxors.

    My Chinese HID's work great, FYI.

    I've ordered from them all... No problems! Yeah, ZZP included some stuff in my box on last order that was additional (free), but I figured they put that there cause they like me! . Hahaha...PRJ has good stuff, no problems with WBody, etc., Intense, Summit and even ZZP are fast shipping.Have fun!

    I've ordered from all of them before and shipping was rather fast. I try to avoid Zzp because of their ****ty customer service but sometimes they have things the others don't have.

    Intense Racing dominates all, just over 24 hours from submitting payment to the parts being here. Only way they could be faster is if they could teleport parts directly to my shop... Lol

    My tracking # from Wbs is finally active and mine is coming from zzp too. Interesting because I ordered from Wbs specifically for thier belt wrap kit. I wonder if zzp makes them or just stocks them or if thier sending me a different style. If it isn't the type thats advertised that I ordered its going back...

    WBS/zzp order showed up today, on time and as advertised. It has more so come down to a race between FedEx, ups and USPS. UPS always dominates
