Hey guys- My two cents on this is that ISP West does serve as a great place to find those hard to get parts, but not everyone can afford their price on some of these items. I think they are just trying to offer to the common daily driver an item of sufficient quality that would just work in whatever application they are stating. If it is of paramount interest that the part be 100% original and restoration grade, he or she should be expecting to pay a premium for it. I have done lots of business with Anthony over at ISP West and I have to say that I have never had a better experience with any other vendor with regards to QC and customer service. If you do have a problem, they are the first to offer to rectify the situation, even if it is at cost to them. I can give numerous examples of situations where the problem wasn't even their fault, but they took care of it nonetheless. Once again, my two cents :-) Take care, Charles Navarro LN Engineering http://www.LNengineering.com Aircooled Precision Performance -----Original Message----- From: Jim Adney [mailto:jadney@vwtype3.org] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 10:06 PM Subject: Re: [T3] Question for seller -- Item #1858963890 ISP West always has a LOT of stuff on auction at ebay, but a few days ago I spotted a pair of side mirrors which they were selling as type 3 mirrors. These are clearly not type 3 mirrors, and my guess is that they aren't even VW mirrors. I emailed them to point out the error and eventually got this response. Apparently they feel that there is no problem with what they are doing as long as people don't catch on. I present this here only so those of you on the list will become aware of their deception and their general attitude.
