Shop/Store Recommendations for OEM parts.

HAPPY NEW YEARS guys & gals,

I was wondering if you guys & gals could recommend a place/shop/store that provided excellent customer service that sells OEM parts for our fb rx7. This will be my first OEM part/s purchase. I need to buy a new set of keys(ignition switch & keys) for my fb as I was dumb & drunk enough to lock the car up for the day after working on it. Im sure it will be either remanufactured or refurbish. And my uncle who is the original owner cant find the keys so this is like worse case scenario.

So far I've goggled and looked over carjunky.com & autoparts warehouse.com and blackdragon auto.


thanks

If you just need a key, a locksmith should be able to make you one cheaper than a new lockset.

Thanks for the tips Justin & Sgt. Fox!! I never personally tried a locksmith but from what I heard, they charge like $100.00+ per job. I had that in mine but seen a universal one going for half that cost.

its not that hard to get into these cars without a key. You can pm me for details.. Once you are in, you can remove the lock from the passenger door and read the key code off it. Take in the code and get a key cut for $10 or so.
