A quick Google search of the site here yielded no hits for this particular vendor, so now that my order has officially arrived I thought I'd post a quick review:

Back story: our 2006 Kia Spectra developed a fuel leak during the extreme cold snap here in the Midwest, which I discovered was coming from the hard line to quick connect junction under the hood. That quick connect fitting is part of the rubber supply hose that then connects directly to the fuel rail with 2 bolts, necessitating and OEM part for a proper repair. Searching for the part locally, I was looking at $130-$150 for the part which is ridiculous for what it is.

During my search, I came across the website SpareKorea.com which listed the part I needed for $12 and change... Too good to be true, right? There was no order button, just a message saying the part needed a weight check before it could be ordered, so I reached out to their online chat and asked for more info. The rep informed me that the part was in a secondary warehouse, requiring an additional $20 handling charge. Within 30 seconds, he had the webpage updated to show an order button, including a notification regarding the additional $20. The rest of the order process was par for the course. With shipping and handling, the total came to $53.

All the way from South Korea, looking about as genuine as genuine can be. So, for those of you looking for another source of OEM parts for your Korean vehicles I can give SpareKorea.com a big thumbs up.

Thanks for this resource! Some OEM parts for our 08 Hyundai Accent can be challenging to source, or their price is fear-inducing. Lol

Will add this to my list of sources for sure! Happy New Year!
 
I've been buying my OE H/K parts from Rockauto as of late (cross reference part #'s yourself, the listings aren't there)
But they don't have everything, this will be good to keep in my back pocket
Good work (y)
 
I always thought OEM H/K parts in the US were way overpriced, I'm sure they're a lot less in the home country as evidenced here.
