I googled their address and it is a mail box shipping store, which I can understand if they are a rural location their products look nice on the website, I'm just a little weary of doing business with a company I find on the web. Any help would be greatly appreciated

The pics on the website do look pretty good but...how much of that are you really going to see? I can understand paying someone to completely re-plate and clean everything on the box if you are going for OE gold but for the average guy it isn't worth it.(unless your box needs a lot of work)

Most people can clean up everything and get it working themselves. IT will be good enough for a nice "driver".

The box in my Challenger is in good shape. I'm planning on going through it myself. I guess it all depends on what you want to get out of the car.

If anyone does have there heater box restored by them...post the results.

I'm not going for OE Gold but it is more than a driver. The part that you do see, the opening by the passenger feet is broken, thats why I want to get it rebuilt.

That's understandable. The box is kinda exposed when sitting in a Challenger.

I gotta think the damage to them came from scared or rowdy passengers during a mix. :wink:
