I called RB and they misplaced my order (fuct up) so now I have to wait another week to get the parts . In the meantime my rex has been reincarnated aside from the mods Im planning on in the next few days

RB has great products but they aren't always wonderful with shipping... I've had varying experiences

I live 1350 miles from Racing Beat and every order shows up in about a week. I've been purchasing parts from them for 18 years (oops, I think I just dated myself) and have always received excellent customer service.

Ya old TX fart!! I always get my RB products through Mazdatrix. They have yet to lose a shipment or send me the wrong stuff. They know the product and cars like RB, but, apparently, have their shipping house in order...as pele would say, "organization is the key!"

I have always ordered my RB stuff thru Mazdatrix.
But I wanted some RB licence plates and an Engine brace that I didn't see on Mazdatrix site, so I tried it out

I've purchased from Racing Beat and from Mazdatrix.
No problems with either company.

I've not ordered from RB yet, but have from both mazdatrix and rx7.com. Both of these companies were very easy to deal with and prompt. We may not have a huge aftermarket backing, but at least what we have is high quality and supportive.
