Beware....STILLEN Products!?!

First off I would like to post that this is not to "bash" the company by anymeans. I know some of you guys have bought products from them and are very satisfied and believe they have great products and that is great. I'm just posting this as a "reference" for people who are making decisions on buying products from these guys. I'm just informing everyone and not trying to badmouth the company.

About 5 months back I recieved my strut bar and oil cap from these guys. I had to order them and wait 3 months just to get the product...ontop of this the customer service was terrible. Then I popped my hood 2 weeks ago to only discover that the letters on the stillen strut bar had come off! And also the sticky thing that says stillen on my oil cap has also come off! No product should ever do that on a car especially only having it on a car for like 5 months or so. Like I said I am just tryin to inform everyone about my experience so maybe I can keep this from happening to somebody else. Here are the pictures listed below: Please leave comments and dont flame me!

I have never really heard anything good about Stillen in the past 3 years.

I actually had good customer service from them when I returned their single path coupe exhaust. They claimed it "utilized 3 inch piping".......ya, in one 4" section right after the y-pipe. Everything else on that system was 2.38 to 2.5 inch. I had them pick it up from my doorstep promptly.

Stillen aside, I like what you did with your engine compartment. Looking nice.

Stillen has been dubbed "Stealin" for a reason. Their customer service has always been horrible and their products are just okay.
