Just wanted to share an experience I had with these guys...

I bought a split grill decklid from Efron at LAPD...The price was fair for a full decklid with all working parts in good condition ready to paint. Efron was easy to deal with and the part showed up a few days after purchase and was as described.

After having it painted and installed, I noticed a grinding noise every time it lowered. Took it to my Porsche dealer and they said it needed a new motor and transmission...$1000. I called LAPD and Efron was no longer with the company so I'm thinking...oh crap...this is going to suck trying to get them to cover this...but to my surprise, they were awesome to work with.

I emailed the main email address and was replied by Peter, who asked what the problem was, I explained it, he sent a diagram to confirm the needed parts, got approval from his manager and sent the complete set up to me. Never asked for me to pay for anything...not even shipping.

I don't know about others experiences with these guys, but I won't hesitate to buy something from them in the future...KUDOS to them...

 

Wow, that's a rare post for LAPD. Glad you had a good experience as most posts about them are just the opposite.

 

Furthermore, the stealer price is pretty high. LAPD would have been blasted for a similar price. There are two motors that can become noisy. The worm drive repair is about $10 (IIRC) and takes a couple of hours (well-documented DIY). I bought a replacement electric motor from LAPD for $100. That took about 15 minutes. Now both motors are quiet.

 

I would also tell that dealer that said it's $1000 for the spoiler gearbox to take a hike!!! It's like $400 & takes about 5min to install.

Good to hear LAPD took care of you.

 

Yeah, I knew the dealer pricing was over the top. I installed both myself and it took 20 minutes.

I just knew that there were some negative posts here about LAPD and so I thought it was appropriate to mention it when they do it right.

 

+1 for keeping it fair. Glad you had a good experience.
