Lets talk about the best parts companies!!!

I am about to begin major conversions on many parts of the sonic. My first thought is who is best to order parts from? I will be doing everything from ordering bllet dress peice to mod'ing the 454's. Also all new gauges etc etc etc. I like to find one company I can deal (mostly) with since I am a very loyal customer. Can anyone point me in some direction? CP performance was given to me by a friends and understand he can get a great discount for me through them but I want to check the reputation of some companies first. I understand you can't get EVERYTHING there but would like to be able to purchase most items there. I hope this thread help many!

I HIGHLY recommend REX Marine. Mikes people are knowledgeable and friendly.

Bob Mardera of Marine Kinetics for all your engine stuff. Can't say enough good things about the quality of service and knowledge you receive. I've had good service with Rex Marine and Ebasic Power for parts.

I get all my rigging hardware from CPPerfomance (water pumps,pick ups, hose fittings etc). They carry just about everyone's stuff.

I like CP Performance as well.
Rex Marines website isn't the most user friendly, so I have stayed away from them.

Those are merc dealer parts and only available at merc dealers. Just take your serp belt to any auto parts store and let them match it. It will cost less than half of what merc wants.

Use the contact form on the Elite Marine website. Kirk will get back to you fast or email him at [email protected]. He can get anything that CP, Rex, Livorsi and others have at lower prices.
