    Classic Hero Parts (Edit: Confirmed Scammers)

    Hello R3V Community,

    Has anyone purchased anything from Classic Hero Parts? If so, what was your experience like and were the part(s) of good quality? This vendor is new to me, I am looking for feedback. Website below...

    No experience ordering from them.
    Their website is pretty snazzy and they seem to offer all the in-demand parts.
    They even have reps of rare bits.

    My "too good to be true" BS detector is going off for some reason though.
    Their instagram also doesn't have any posts.

        Agreed, the website does have a clean aesthetic. I was also feeling like it was too good to be true as well. Thanks for posting the link to the reddit feedback.

          Just in case the reddit link goes down, these guys are confirmed scammers based on the reddit post.

          I also sent them an email asking about local pickup and they never responded.

            They have a lot of ads on https://losangeles.craigslist.org/

            I'd assume those would be local pickup sales. Any SoCal locals have experience with them?

              I noticed that and the prices are cheap. Never had to buy anything from them though.

                Scammers.

                Placed an order with them last July (using PayPal thankfully) and never received the item.

                Filed a dispute claim and was refunded my money.

                  So I’m not sure if the guy runs the website but I did buy my mtech2 kit from this guy . I work close to him and I picked up directly from his house . Really nice guy very knowledgeable has a bunch of e30s and parts . As for the website I have no idea

                    He sells body parts on Facebook and Craigslist in LA.
                    His name is Armin Eftekhari.



                    I guess he has abandoned the website.
