I know Eric has been great in the past but for those of us who really want our cars ready soon without the worries and heartaches of wondering where our kit is, I'm starting a thread on idea of how to get "Eric-like" parts from other sources.

Eric Exclusives (that I know of)
K2 Front
CS Rear
Inven II Front

- K2 Front -
This should be the easiest one to get from other places. The modifications he did to it are fairly simple and clean up the bumper a lot. I think if you ordered a plain K2 front from some other vendor, and asked a reputable bodyshop good with fiberglass you can have yourself a K2 replica (a replica of a replica!)

Also! Other vendors here might be willing to do the K2 modification for you

- CS Rear -
This is unavailable through anyone else. I know its great looking, but if you cant get it its really not that good looking is it? The closest alternative is the Nismo style rear diffuser that some other vendors here have. Its not exactly the same but it has those sexy fins on it and its a cheaper alternative anyways since you can get it in CF and not have to spend money on paint

- Inven II front -
Klumzee only - I dont personally like it that much but I know its popular. I would probably consider a Kuruma/Greddy alternative which are somewhat similar. A front lip would work as well.

Sorry if you think this is useless information but I wanted to share what I think and I'm tired of people having their hearts broken because they must order from Eric. Yes he's a nice guy, but theres a lot of other nice guys out there too willing to give us good customer service.

dustin@m1autosport seems to have good parts but they do not have all the parts Eric has. i believe Eric was the only one to make a replica of the authentic ChargeSpeed rear which retails for $850

 

M1 takes forever and a day to get their stuff out. The communication at this place is very poor and I get the impression that they really do not care how the customer feels. Trying to get any update on orders was hindered due to the fact that only 1 damn person handles the G parts. Endless times I called up and got some dude telling me he didnt know anything about the order since he "only takes care of other vehicles." The side skirts I did get were pretty good in quality but I dont know if it was worth the hastle...

 

i do admit we dont have the fastest turn around time, but our parts are A+ quality. we have a person for pretty much every type of vehicle g35, 350z, evo's, etc... apologies on the order taking a while but we do care about the customer.

 

I love the CS but M1 doesnt carry it

 

M1 has always been lightning fast for me... just call the shop and ask for Peter or Dustin.. they're take care of you

 

P.S.. it's always better to buy authentic... especially if you're on a time crunch. always allow a lot of extra time for proper replica fitment

 

dustin you need to get a mold of the chargespeed kit lol

 

I was dealing with Peter the whole time until I had enough of the false claims of my item being there and shipment promises. I understand that stuff takes time to ship, but what I did not appreciate is the poor communication and follow up. If my part was not there, then just tell me. There was no need to lie and say it was shipping on a certain day when that was not going to happen. For a customer to have to call multiple times to try and find out what is the status of their order is not very good. It all worked out in the end after I escalated it higher up.

 

^^damn dude sorry to hear that happened to you, whats going on with body kid vendors nowadays?

 

does peter have an account on here?

 

bump for M1...great group of ppl!!!!

 

I would love to get an Inven front bumper, if anyone could direct me to purchase one ..
Unless if eric is the only one who offers this.?

 

^sorry. it was his creation.

 

Kurmua Z GSpec Diffuser. Only gel coated so paint is still needed to protect, but it's an alternate diffuser never the less.

Eric is a great guy. Bought from him in the past twice and always bent over backwards for me.
