I know we are not supposed to mention other parts suppliers here and I agree it's generally bad form to poop in our hosts house but.......

For my domestic vehicles, the stuff Pelican does not carry parts for I use ********.

Their site looks like something from 1980.

Very simple, get there, pick the manufacturer->year->model->category of parts.

It's a very simple drill down directory structure.

It's not pretty, it's not flashy, but it's a parts catalog, it doesn't need to be any of those things.

What it needs is to be is quick and efficient. If your users need to resort to a search function then you've got it wrong.

Worry less about UI and focus on UX.

EDIT: interesting, a filter for the site and not even the full URL. Well I guess Pelican knows what it has filters for so you can figure it out. Can you smell what the.......

Mods if my edit upsets you I apologize but I think it's more important to retain customers by making the site as user friendly and functional as you can so yes, because I love Pelican I'm breaking the rule.
