Is moparhoods.com legit? Has anyone recently purchased items from them?

Their website shows exhaust manifolds that I'm interested in. The "About Us" page indicates that they've been doing business in the Northwest for over 30 years. However, the "Contact" page only allows you to fill out an email to contact them, no phone number or street address provided. A Google search doesn't come up with any useful info on them, but they seem to be affiliated with another company, shakerhood.com (aka Northwest Performance) which does provide a phone number with area code 360 which is in Washington state, and info that it was founded in Olympia in 1985 by Ben Snobar (passed away in 2016 according to the web) and they too have been in business for 30 years.

I just don't want to get scammed if I attempt to make a pricey online purchase from moparhoods.com. FABO nation, let me hear about your experiences in dealing with them. And if you live in Olympia, WA, let me know what you know about them. Thanks.

OK, all I'm hearing is crickets, and so I'll presume they're not legit.
 
I was going to do business with them awhile ago but never got around to doing any transactions with them, they also used to sell on EBAY but can not locate any of their past auctions so not sure what their seller ID is so that I could look at past auctions / feedback.

I did a search using their contact email on their website and came up with this, their address appears to be a small shop / garage building in an industrial park area.


Their Address

The last communication I had with them via email was almost a year ago with a Nathan Wheeler, hope this helps you some.

If you do a search using their phone number an entirely different address pops up which looks like a residence:

Thanks for the detailed investigative work! Still seems a bit too sketchy for me - I’ll just pass on this and hope i’m not blowing a good parts find.
