Bad form in general I think unless you are a really good customer. Shops mark-up parts alot to increase their profits. The suggested retails from World-pac and other distributors on some of the parts they supply 'wholesale' to shops is three times or more what they are selling it for. You aren't going to make friends by cutting down on a shop's margin on large profit items. That said, Pelican is often quite competitive with World-pac on older Porsche parts.
