Hey whats up every1...im new to the site but ive searched the forums pretty thoroughly the last few weeks for an answer to this question...

I live near Venus Auto in Sacramento and i stopped by the other day to see some front end clips with the 3sgte motor, specifically the st185,205, and 215. I really liked the prices for them, but not the mileage. The average for their clips was about 50-60 thousand miles they SAID, but theres no way of knowing if thats REALLY how much is on them. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a place where i could get one of these clips with less mileage for a reasonable price. Thanks guys

Are the clips from Venus auto usually known to last?

Venus Auto is typically seen by many people to be a pretty shady place. Often, I've heard that they're difficult to get a hold of, and the info on their website is often very wrong.

Also, I personally have found Storm Performance to be a incredibly shady place to do business with. They lie, overcharge you, ship you dead engines, don't talk to you once they get your money, etc. frown.gif

coomer is right about ppl saying that Venus Auto is a shady company.
BUT, i purchased my clip with them, and have nothing bad to say about them.

The price was right.
Customer service was perfect.
The engine was in great conditions and only had 31,000 miles.
ToyCeli8 also got his clip from Venus, and has nothing bad to say about them. (at least i dont think so O_0 )

It's really up to you. Take a chance with whoever you want.
