Our team is staffed with industry veterans who have experience in the classic car, restoration, manufacturing, and race industries. Our staff also includes professionals from the shipping industry to make sure your item arrives undamaged.

We have the largest inventory of GTR parts IN STOCK in the USA. Unless an item says special order, you don't have to wonder how long it'll be before your item ships or if the price might change. Typically, our domestic orders ship within 1 business day. Save time and money by not having to wait weeks or even months for your parts to come in.

We also offer time-saving kits that allow you to focus on your car instead of having to spend hours researching nuts and bolts.

We have an exciting feature on our website that allows customers to know whether something is in stock (green button), special order (yellow button), or out of stock (red button). As long as the shopping cart button is green, we have the item in stock and you should be able to add it to your cart. If you order by 2 pm EST, we can typically ship most domestic orders the same business day.

The best way to get information on our out-of-stock parts is to click on the "email me when back in stock" alert button for the specific part. This button can be found in blue at the top right of the web page. You will be notified by email as soon as we have that item in stock. We typically do not know when an item will come back in stock, so this allows you to be notified automatically.

We sell new, unused OEM and aftermarket parts. The parts are not in "show quality" or pristine condition. Instead, they may show minor cosmetic blemishes or marks made during manufacturing. For example, a bumper may show mold lines on the inside of the plastic where the plastic was molded during manufacturing. The parts may also show signs of shelf wear from being stacked or handled by the manufacturer or transporter. Reputable installers, body shops, glass shops, or paint shops know how to address these issues. The functionality of the part is not affected. Please email us at sales@terrafirmaautomotive.com before purchasing if you have questions about the condition of our parts.

All products listed are intended to be sold to mechanics. While anyone can purchase from Terra Firma, professional mechanical knowledge and professional automotive equipment are required for each part. We recommend professional installation by a certified auto mechanic. Eligibility for returning an item may be affected if a certified auto mechanic is not involved.

We pride ourselves in ensuring, to the fullest extent possible, that our hard-to-find parts make it to their destination undamaged. We use high quality cardboard boxes (200 lb crush rate) on items ranging from small screws and emblems to weatherstripping and cylinder heads. We have not ever used, nor do we plan to use, padded envelopes to ship parts. Shipping is not a source of revenue for us; instead, we charge what it costs to ship parts to their destination. Many of our parts could take months to replace. We are not willing to risk damage or delay by offering “free” or cheap shipping options that could result in unnecessary headaches.

No. Due to the volume of orders we receive, the speed with which we fulfill orders, and complexity of combining orders, we do not offer combined shipping once an order has been placed.
