I agree, Bob, Moss is a good place, and it's a fun drive up the coast
to check them out, even though I liked their Hollister Ave. location
better! That's why it disappoints me to see how they've kind of
engaged in a (what I think to be) questionable practice of listing
long known OOS items as in stock and on the price list. I know they
have a lot more competition now, but still... Here in L.A. Moss parts
are even easier to get. A number of imported car part stores can get
regular Moss deliveries for anything you need, at no shipping charge,
and some places will even sell the parts for less than Moss list! And
their repro quality has improved significantly compared to fifteen
years ago- No more decals. But still...
