G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
They were a big part of the forum a few years ago and a trusted vendor on here. I don't know if they're still active though, might want to shoot them a PM to inquire.

Yeah recently, I had a pretty bad time with em. Got a FG bumper from em that was pitted and it looked like their mold was just terrible.

To say the least, I won't be going back to em. Dude just seems too busy and too little time on his hands to keep up.

From what I know he is always busy, I follow him on Facebook and he's a one man shop so expect at least a month or so for the shipment since majority of his parts are made to order.

I just ordered a bumper from them and that might have been a big mistake. It’s almost impossible to contact him and by the time I decided to just cancel because lack of communication he said I’d have to pay a restocking fee and I’m pretty sure he didn’t even start on the bumper. If he did then that’s my bad for saying that but at least communicate with me. I’m giving you 500$ so I expect something. At least some info. Should have went to outcast from the beginning.

Now that's a far better That's how it is dealing with R1, no information or communication and quality is iffy!

yep! go to outcast and get better parts that fit right out of the box!!! Ready to scuff and paint. No need to rework/reinforce like R1 crap.

Yeah unfortunately I just got into the G game and didn’t think I’d have to experience this. 240s was no problem. But all I can say is NO ONE should ever have to deal with this much issues just to find out if the bumper is being made or at least a ETA on when it will be done. I guess it’ll cost me 70$ just to get a response saying he will refund my money hopefully. If not guess I have to file a dispute. For future buyers just go with Outcast. Pay the extra hundred you won’t regret it
