My wife ordered a CAI for my 99 Cobra Dec 6th. After a few days of no communication, she inquired and was told it would be 5-7 days to process the order. She waited another 5 days, she emails again. Another 3 days, another email. Both with no response. So I contact Brian(owner?) and he emails me the day after Christmas even though they aren't open. He says he'll get all over it on Monday. So I'm thinking "he's the man, no more worries". Well Monday evening...... nothing. My wife gets an email from customer support and they are saying the part is back ordered for another 2 weeks. She ordered it Dec 6th! I emailed Brian Monday night, and have not heard anything as of Wednesday 10:30am.
I guess what I'm asking is "is my experience unique?" I heard alot of good stuff about them but this is my first experience, and so far it's lacking. I mean 38 days to get a part and not giving the option of a full refund? It just doesn't make sense, everything I read said they were great and a friend even suggested to my wife to use them. Has anyone on here used them before? And if Brian or anyone who works for THR is on here, I'm not trying to make you guys sound bad, I just am wondering about the part. If I get it soon, I'll sing your praises for fixing a messed up situation.

Yeah Ive written rants about THR on here before they have piss poor customer service and it takes about a few months to get anything you ordered. I will never do business with them again and I made sure they know that.

Yeah, I was gonna order from them last year but read two threads on here that said they suck so I ordered from LMR instead
LMR has been pretty good, American Muscle has been better though.

eBay on the other hand sucks
I have $1430 in orders not recieved this month from them and still waiting on over $1000 to get refunded and looks like it will be next week before that happens

I too waited for months and months to get a set of headers. Ended up just getting store credit and ordering a clutch instead. I will NEVER order from them again. When I finally did get the parts, they forgot to ship some stuff. They drop ship everything, so everything takes longer. I don't know how many other company's do that, but companies like American Muscle ship in like 24 hours.

Well it looks like they are trying to screw me. They sent my wife an email saying the part is back ordered for 2 more weeks. So I call a friend of mine who is a Mac authorized dealer and he said they are not backordered at all. So I email Brian at THR 2-3 times. Guess what!!!!! No response, what a surprise. So I submitted my claim through Paypal to get my money back. I submitted it Monday, and as of Saturday(today) they haven't even responded. SO I guess Texas Hot Rods is on my "DO NOT BUY FROM EVER AGAIN" list. Oh and BTW they don't answer thier phone either. Middle of the day and I get an after hours recording????

Well they have one more day to respond to my Paypal claim I filed like 2 weeks ago. Still nothing. So I try calling them. I called Brian, Malinda, customer service, and guess what I get? Voicemail! I'm going to officially say it, "Texas Hot Rods is a crap company that doesn't ship what they sell. And then sits on your money till you have to get Paypal to pry it out of thier dishonest hands"! I will never buy from them again, and will steer anyone even thinking from buying from them away. With these selling practices how can they afford to advertise in Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords?

Unfortunately, I have heard good and bad from them. They really make me question ordering from them. I was set on the Harballer intake from them but, now I will just wait for the BBK. Either way, I recommend American Muscle. They are great and I have been happy with them. Honestly, they had two issues with me but, they resolved them and were very good about it.

Well I was hopeful. They had plenty of time to correct it. My wife paid for the CAI on Dec 6th. It was suppose to be a Christmas present. But Paypal got my money back today Jan 17th. THR didn't even respond to the claim. It's a pretty sad situation, I'll never buy from them again. But Now I'll go to my Mac guy and get my new toy!
