Who We Are & How We Operate
Built by an Enthusiast. Run With Intention.
4th to 5th Automotive was built by someone who has lived the aftermarket — not just browsed it.
The name “4th to 5th” comes from my first two cars: a 4th generation Camaro, followed by a 5th generation Camaro. Both were platforms I loved to modify, learn on, and slowly turn into real builds. Along the way, I experienced the same frustrations many enthusiasts do — parts that didn’t fit as advertised, unclear information, and stores that cared more about volume than outcomes.
4th to 5th Automotive exists to do it differently.
Who We Are
We’re an enthusiast-run automotive parts retailer focused on building trust-worthy platforms, not massive, cluttered catalogs.
We believe:
- Good builds start with the right information
- Fewer, better choices beat endless options
- Trust is earned through consistency, not hype
We focus on specific platforms and build them deliberately, making sure they feel complete and credible before moving on.
How We Choose Products
Every product on 4th to 5th Automotive is selected intentionally.
We prioritize:
- Proven fitment and reliability
- Brands with a real track record
- Parts that enhance the car without creating new problems
- Honest use-cases (daily, street, track)
We actively avoid:
- Products with known fitment issues
- Overstated performance claims
- Rushed or trend-driven releases
If a product doesn’t meet our standard, it doesn’t go on the site.
How We Build Platforms
We don’t launch platforms halfway.
Each vehicle platform is built to a competitive standard that includes:
- Balanced coverage across key categories
- Multiple trusted brands
- Clear fitment and application clarity
This approach takes more time, but it ensures that when a platform goes live, it feels like it belongs.
How We Operate
We operate with a few core principles:
- Clarity over volume
- Transparency over marketing noise
- Long-term trust over short-term sales
You won’t see rushed product dumps or random listings here. Every addition is meant to strengthen the platform as a whole.
Our Commitment to Customers
When you order from 4th to 5th Automotive, you can expect:
- Clear product information
- Transparent shipping expectations
- Honest descriptions without exaggeration
- Real support if you need help
We’re here to help you build with confidence, not pressure you into a purchase.
Who This Is For
4th to 5th Automotive is for:
- Enthusiasts who research before they buy
- Builders who care about fit, function, and finish
- People who value intention over impulse
It may not be the right place if you’re only looking for the cheapest option or chasing trends. And that’s okay.
Why This Matters
Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose.
We built 4th to 5th Automotive around that reality.
Everything you see here — from the products we carry to the way platforms are launched — is designed to make your buying decision easier and more confident.
Build With Intention. Build With Confidence.
Welcome to 4th to 5th Automotive.
PLEASE READ!
Returns, Exchanges & Issue Resolution
At 4th to 5th Automotive, we understand that buying aftermarket parts—especially online—requires trust. These are not small purchases, and fitment, condition, and support matter.
Our promise is straightforward:
If something is genuinely wrong, you will not be left on your own.
We will communicate clearly, review the situation carefully, and work toward a fair resolution.
Our Approach
We specialize in vehicle-specific, enthusiast-grade parts. Because of the nature of performance components, returns and resolutions must be handled responsibly—for both the customer and the integrity of the product.
Rather than offering blanket, no-questions-asked returns, we operate on a case-based resolution model:
- Clear expectations up front
- Careful review when issues arise
- Fair outcomes when something is truly wrong
If you’re unsure about fitment or compatibility, we strongly encourage reaching out before ordering. Helping you get it right the first time is always the best outcome for everyone.

The following items are non-returnable:
- Installed or used parts
- Parts showing signs of installation or test-fitting
- Electrical components once opened
- Special-order or made-to-order items
- Clearance or final-sale items
Once a performance part is installed or opened, it can no longer be verified, resold, or returned to the manufacturer. These restrictions are standard within the aftermarket industry.

Uninstalled, unused items in original condition may be eligible for return under the following conditions:
- Return request submitted within 7 days of delivery

Every situation is reviewed individually. Our goal is not to deflect responsibility—but to resolve issues correctly and honestly.
