Anyone ordered anything from www.achtuning.com ?

They won't accept credit cards from outside the US. They want a wire transfer of the money to their bank account.

Should I or shouldn't I?

Seems a lot of companies in the US do it this way. Dpends what you are after but if you are uncomfortable then try Autospeed as they take a CC.

Netcraft says "slightly risky". I wouldn't, personally. What are you after? Is it "cheaper" from the US, including import and stuff, or is it just not available over here?

I use the Netcraft toolbar for my browser (it's available for both IE and Firefox), and when users visit the site, then it becomes more trusted. If lot sof users visit the site often, then it's likely to be the correct site. If the site pops up as not trusted, then it's probably not a good idea to give them money. Anothe rservice the toolbar performs is verifying whether anyone else has reported a site as a scam site - if it's been spotted by someone and verified by someone else, then it'll stop you going to to site. This makes you immune to around 99.5% of the scam links in email. Very handy.

It gives a quick metric on how trusted a site is, roughly, as a bonus.
