I live in Chino and they are only 5-10 minutes from me. I contacted them about pickup and apparently they are making profits from shipping as their "pickup" price is different than "shipping" price. Amazing how an easier transaction (pickup) could cost $60 more. They want $390 picked up yet advertise $330 on ebay if shipped. Needless to say I hate these kind of business practices so I thought I'd share.

BTW: The only reason why I considered this over Umnitza is for convenience.

you're better off getting it from Trinity Autosports (they're local too) and reputable "contributing" members here on e60.net . I just sent my cousin to them for an M5/Mtech style front bumper and side skirts last week.. It came out perfect.!!

I'd have never dealt with someone like that just based on what the listing says, but thanks for the heads up

I'm in the Preserve just a couple miles south. Euclid and Kimball (by the airport).

My friend lives very close to Riverside and Euclid so I'm always around that area. We should get together sometime. You probably haven't seen me because I'm all stock...lol. I'm working on making it a little easier to spot me

Savage has gone above and beyond for me so I'm a loyal customer. I know a lot of the guys over there so maybe thats why...
