When I first ordered from "Spyder" it was a measure of desperation. Here was someone in my hometown and I needed parts quick. Turns out he's in my LUG as well. I'll try to be impartial knowing that if he ever reads this he might knock my MOC off... the table. Or maybe we'll have a real MOC off. I might need to make a few more orders from his store first.

Recommendation
OK, granted this may not be a fair assessment as YMMV wildly on shipping times. I have the luxury of living about a mile away from this seller. What I can comment on that would be relevant is the amount of parts in their store (700,000+), the quality of said parts (all new and shiny), and their communication (quick replies, good spelling and punctuation). The fact that they are willing to meet me for personal parts hand off must say something in general about their customer service as well. Any time I need a quick ABS fix, I'll start here.
