Product Information

Kit Products

Our Parts and Accessories catalogs, as well as SS396.com, offer kits that include a variety of products to provide you with the best value. Please note that most of these kit items are exclusive to Ground Up Motors – ss396.com and are not eligible for further discounting or price matching against our competitor’s kits.

Occasionally, we may run out of a specific item that is included in a kit. In such cases, we will generally ship the items that are in stock and backorder the ones that are currently unavailable. You can contact our sales department by phone to verify which items are out of stock at the time of placing your order. As our customer, you have the option to accept a partial kit delivery or choose to have the entire kit backordered until it is ready to ship in its entirety, be sure this is either verbally communicated over the phone or specified when placing an order online. Please note that additional freight fees may apply for multiple shipments, if applicable.

Rights & Lefts

Some items in our catalog and website are labeled as Right Hand (RH) or Left Hand (LH). The determination of Right Hand and Left Hand is based on sitting inside the vehicle. Specifically, the Right Hand refers to the passenger side, while the Left Hand refers to the driver’s side.

Color Matches

Due to multiple manufacturers of products Ground Up Motors – ss396.com provides, color variations may occur. Slight color variations are common especially amongst interior products and do not constitute a defect. These products are not eligible for return for this reason.

If exact color matching on interior items is a concern, we recommend ordering black and color matching using interior paint or dyes. Returns on colored interior items will be subject to a restocking fee.
