this should be a sticky +1 rep

JCiv03 02-26-2005 10:59 PM

Indeed, nice list and good idea gear box.. Just a small suggestion. How about ABC order? that'd be dandy.

jturbolx 02-26-2005 11:18 PM

*wipes brow* Glad i'm not on there lol

gearbox 02-27-2005 12:11 AM

Haha it took a long time to make so hopefully someone makes it a sticky.

ChiNkYx1 02-27-2005 07:38 AM

add prototype to that list

gearbox 02-27-2005 09:23 AM

description of what he did?

ChiNkYx1 02-27-2005 05:23 PM

he stole $100 from me, bought something from him and he never sent the item out. Its been over 3 months now. Just like to give everybody a heads up not to deal w/ him. One minute hes cool, next minute he screws you over. :_disgust:

Any proof?

shmik1 02-27-2005 05:35 PM

HondaWerx claimed to have sent a part, I contacted, claimed to send it again, was only $7 or less shipped so I just said screw it, never got the item..

EternalBlue_Vic 02-27-2005 10:11 PM

streetstyler.com SUCKS ASS!!!! I ordered a type b front lip from then on the first week of january, and til' this day, they're still making excuses!!! Tomorrow i'm demanding my money back!! Thanx gearbox, REP!

EternalBlue_Vic 02-27-2005 10:15 PM

I've ordered from both Wheelmax, and Showstoppers. I had no problems what-so-ever with my wheels from wheelmax, and my springs from showstoppers. I must have been VERY lucky.

TheSmuggler 02-28-2005 07:52 AM

www.jdmautogames.com I ordered my JDM RS grill from them, 175 bucks about a month ago, they emailed me twice and now wont respond to any of my emails and I still don't have a product or money back

gearbox 02-28-2005 08:02 AM

Whoa that sucks!! I was gonna order bulbs from them if stupid mach3accessories doesn't send em to me. Thanks.

TheSmuggler 02-28-2005 08:07 AM

^^Yeah, well I'm crossing my fingers that it will come in, and that maybe it's taking longer since it has to come in from over seas... but I doubt it, and in a time of money needs for my "project" I could use that 175 lol... Oh and btw, there is NO number on their website for you to call them at... I wish I could

gearbox 02-28-2005 08:09 AM

I'm gonna stop ordering from sites without phone numbers. Whatever happened to overnighting parts from Japan? Or is that only possible in the movies ;)

TheSmuggler 02-28-2005 08:11 AM

^^Heh, *sigh* I always get jipped... =*(

*looks for full cf lipkit* wonder if they make that heh. Good writeup Gear bro! =)

Jrfish007 02-28-2005 08:45 AM

good thread

Modacar.com had problems? Man I bought some Rota's from them about 3 yars ago, thought everything went fine, know many who bought stuff from them. Maybe someone hacked in to their system? That's been happening alot lately.

gearbox 02-28-2005 09:19 AM

Well one bad experience is enough. I mean, we all know about majestic honda. I ordered there alot, then my last order took two weeks for a gasket to come in. I just order from the dealer because without the shipping it comes out to the same price, and I have it in a couple days.

scatman 02-28-2005 10:04 AM

ive ordered from
autoall
customauto.ca
showstoppersusa

with no problems what so ever

the only problem ive ever had in four years has been with the distributor's that rimstogo deals with.....(not saying that you have to add their name to the list tho.)

AzNmiKex215 02-28-2005 10:07 PM

ive also ordered from streetstyler.com they are taking years with my Type-B lip. They dont reply to emails. Then when i threaten to cancel, they say i will get a shipping info withing 24 hours.

Its been 3 days and i got no reply, EVEN AFTER sending 4 emails requesting my shiping info.

Does anyone know another RELIABLE place where i can get a TYPE-B lip??

EternalBlue_Vic 02-28-2005 10:51 PM

/\/\ I called them today about my type b lip, they say, "it should ship out this week", i was like, "THATS WHAT YOU TOLD ME LAST MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

truehonda 03-01-2005 12:36 AM

I vote Gearbox as the "7thgen Do not buy here" rep ;). Sorry for all the trouble boys. Things like this make me sick and hate the flakers that make a "internet business" of just some kids looking to make McDonalds money. It ruins our image and makes people sceptic as hell. But hey, thats why we are here - to prove those guys DEAD WRONG.

Yup we're very lucky to have site vendors here, because rest-assured they are the best!

bump for a good thread

+1 rep to gearbox

CuRiOuSfIsH 03-05-2005 02:38 PM

I would like to add 1 bad vendor gearbox, www.autodynamic.com,
some ppl have good results thats why I went there. I bought my spoiler there a few years back.
At 1st, I did get a sale confirmation e-mail. I waited a while for a "shipped" e-mail... none. I called them and they said they were in the warehouse... so I say ok. I wait some more, call again, same answer. And the ppl there have a hard time speaking english and they put you on hold forever. I remember 1 call, this guy was like "what are you saying I cant hear you over the phone" while I can hear him perfect.... seems weird to me. I finally got it almost a month later..... and yeah....

ABS DYNAMICS IS IN CALIFORNIA, THEY BETTER NOT CHARGE ME TAX BECUASE ITS NOT SHIPPING WITHIN MY HOME STATE OF PA!!!:mad:
