I have heard from a few people hop up racing doesnt stock anything and just a small office in san diego with no products and mainly relies on other vendors and dealer to drop ship the items for them...again that is what i have heard, and these are people that live near by their so called location in San Diego. That is probably why they can afford to have low prices since they dont stock it. If you can sacrifice more time to save money i guess thats a route you can take.

I havent dealt or heard from anybody about intense motorsports so i have nothing to say.

I bought my HKS intake from Hopup Racing online. they called me within an hour to tell me that the intake was in stock and would ship out that afternoon. I bought it on a Friday and it showed up at my door on a Tues.

I only dealt with them once, but I thought their service was great.

Do a search on this topic, it was just recent. Darren @ Intenze is the MAN! The wait for parts depends where the parts are coming from. Japan takes a while, but well worth the wait. I have purchased my Veilside v3 full kit, my Vis CF hood, Wald wing, and almost everything else through Darren, almost $7K worth of parts!!! Every time I need something, I call Darren.

I was thinking of buying my stuff from Hopupracing because they have all 3 things I want listed on their site and I was thinking that it might be less hassle then ordering from 2 or more vendors?.

Nismo exhaust, Veilside V-1 wing and Hothckis springs.

Perhaps I should re-think it and buy from separate vendors instead of putting all of my eggs ($$$) in 1 basket?

I checked 'em out and they actually do have all 3 items.

Their prices are a little bit more than if I ordered from 2 or 3 different places but not enough for me to cry about.

I can get the exhaust off e-bay for $1,000 shipped, so their's with shipping is about $50 more all together. The V-1 wing was the same price and the springs were about 20 bucks less that where I was going to buy from, so it all comes out close to the same.

Assuming their shipping prices are about the same as anybody else, all in all it would only cost about 30 bucks more for all 3 things combined, which might be worth it by just having to deal with one place, I think.

I've made 2 purchases from Intense Motorsports and have been very happy with both. Good prices. Fast shipping. Great customer service.

I've had many many good experiences with Hop Up Racing. Intense seems to be getting a lot of good reviews lately.

I ordered a Seibon VS hood from intense motorsports, and it was delivered within a few days. With free shipping and no tax, you can't lose.

Does nissan performance typically stock these parts in their own store/warehouse or are they one of those tiny lil' offices that orders from other companies.
