Wanting 2nd gen parts shipped to the UK - Is Classic Industries the answer?

UK prices for US car spares seem very high and it looks like it would be worth my while ordering direct from the US, especially with the exchange rate so far in my favour (although I do have to understand UK import tax first). I have discovered Classic Industries but before I go ahead I wondered if anyone could recommend any other US sources for new, quality,

2nd gen parts that can be shipped to the UK - preferably one with a decent website so I can compare prices. Does Classic Industries have a good rap in the US? Any UK guys used them?

Mostly all of those "resto houses" source from the same vendors, so choose on price and service.

For instance, PUI interiors likely supply all the interiors, ACC all the carpets, Fine Lines the prebent lines (there are others), GM NOS is GM NOS :), and in some cases, they may even buy from each other! :).

With that being said, I skip all of them and buy direct from their vendors.

If GM still offers it, I buy it discounted through the dealer or through AC Delco (if it's available that way), since I head off the markup.
