Here are the web sites I have...hope this helps dude.

http://www.scaleautostyle.com/
http://www.hlj.com/
http://www.plastic-models.com/index.html
http://www.modelexpress.net/cgi-bin/...hop/index.html
http://www.scalemodelindex.com/cars.htm

The first 2 are the the most useful sites, chris, at scale auto style does a great job at aftermarket parts, check out that site for sure. HLJ is the best place to buy your models. THAT WOULD BE KEWL IF EVERYONE WHO READS THIS PUTS UP SOME OF THE WEB SITES THEY HAVE ON FILE. Good Luck.

I've shopped at many sites for model cars. Here's my bottom line, HLJ is by far the lowest in price. But they seem to take extremely long to process and ship out orders. I guess you can't win them all. And ofcourse, another good thing about HLJ is that they have virtually everything.

But for some reason I find myself purchasing from tinyimports.com more than anywhere else. Their prices are fair, but what I like best is they ship out orders almost the next day. Like CamaroSSBoy346 said, you receive your order within 5 days. A few times I've even received my order in 3 days. What I've learned is that they only sell what they have in stock.

Well, that's my 2 cents
