Hoping Shaggy sees this or if anyone can tell me
How does Servco and/or SOA feel about this site? Basically if I get parts from here is that cool with them? It's oem parts for a little cheaper than I can get locally.
Right now I'm kind of interested in the SPT Boost gauge. I would want Servco to install it but will that affect my warranty in anyway? I know it can't be voided, but would Servco be able to back-up their labor? If the gauge dies or malfunctions, fine that's on me and I buy another one. But if the something goes wrong with the car, can I still get coverage from Servco since they installed and I haven't modified my vehicle (keeping her bone stock + accessories).

I asked **** this same question today and basically as i understand it if you have it installed by servco the work will have some form of coverage in case of a problem in the workmanship. also i guess spt parts are approved and will not void or modify your warranty. could be wrong so feel free to jump in ****. i know i'll be getting the spt gauge as well, it's so hott

i'm just wondering what servco is willing to cover.
for example, say I order the spt catback online, get it installed @ servco, and something is defective.
Will Servco help me replace the exhaust? Or will they say that because I didn't buy from them it ain't their problem? At which point do I just contact SOA and (hopefully) they would convince Servco to do warranty work for me (ie fixing the exhaust).
I'm gonna call Servco later today to get some answers.
Main thing is that I want to be covered, so if anything goes wrong I won't be screwed. So if I buy official parts I want the support that should come with it, even though we are in Hawaii.

I ordered both OEM and SPT stuff's from them and they are very reputable. Was going to jump the gun on the STi coilovers just so I can be OEM but JDM like JON/infek but I realized that I can't. Nonetheless, I agree with blake & Josh
