    Exclamation Beware of IROC Motorsports

    I purchased a set of 3-D printed taillights for my Firebird T/A from IROC (mind you, I was told that the taillights were going to be earmarked to me by their "representative" in email) and communication with them was great up until the point they got my money. I didn't hear from them in two months after several attempts at emails and one phone call. After the two months, I felt it necessary to file a claim through Paypal and the BBB to attempt to recoup my $1000.00. Buyer beware, this might have been a reputable company at some point, but at present they are faltering.

    I made an account just to add on to this. Looking around the web for parts for my third Gen, I came across their website but was immediately put off. Mainly, their prices seemed way too high for some things. A few examples are a panhard bar for $350, LED marker lights for $60 (identical eBay ones are $20), turn signal housings for $150 (again, identical ones are $40 on eBay), and finally a 2-point strut tower brace for a "sale" price of $625. Additionally, complete OE reproduction tail lights run for about $660 a pair and they have them listed for a whopping $1,050.
    My hunch is that they just resell f-body products at a higher price. As for their personally manufactured products, they mention a lengthy wait time as they are "made to order" but seeing as they abruptly cut communication with you, I'd assume they're not making anything at all. I have tried to look up on their reputation but only this thread popped up and their social media is dry. Hopefully there are others that can share any experience with them. But, luckily there's plenty of reputable vendors for f-body enthusiasts.

    Thats a real shame, the Camaro/Firebird specific shops used to be pretty solid and we had a good community.
