hahah nice.


My words are

a) used as-is
b) fiber glass is lame as fvck, poly or nothing
c) shipping insurance
d) he didnt know about it, aint his fault. thats the gamble you take for trying to save a few bucks buying used over new
e)those cracks aint nothing

f) WTF is this BS. Looks like the g sceen is turning in to the honda days when the kids make 10 bucks an hr and cry when they don't get the world handed to them because they can barely afford to mode their car and make payments.


1) if i makes u feel any better, i say dustin is a punk cuz they havent made 05-06 poly bumpers yet.


It will be soon enough when I move on to more expensive cars kids cant afford and complain about. Tired of seeing this bs.

this started over a year ago..

I'm definitely not looking to light another fire here, but my experiences with Dustin were never all that positive.

Earlier this spring I started looking into bodykit options for my car and ended up going Dustin at Strafe based on what I thought was an excellent deal. A couple of well known board members had advised against ordering from Strafe, but based on my tight budget I went ahead with it anyways. I sent a downpayment to Dustin via PP and agreed to send the remainder after the kit was completed and I was updated with fitment photos and photos of the paint work. Dustin originally quoted me 5-8 days for prep and paint work.

In short, after nearly two months of delays, missed shipment dates, difficulty in communication and what I perceived to be excuses the kit was finally shipped my way. I was updated with fitment photos, but all the pieces had been fitted on different colored cars. That alone got me a bit nervous, as they certainly weren't fitted on Dustin's "personal car" like he had claimed. When the package finally arrived the kit was all wrapped to the highest standard and secured safely within the box. I signed with the UPS driver and he left. After unwrapping the kit I found a number of scratches, rub marks and paint runs on the K2 front. The Impul sides both had cracks in the FG and similar issues with paint that had run or blobbed on them.

I got in touch with Dustin immediately, and although he asked what he could do to fix the situation, he eventually told me that it was an issue with UPS and that I'd have to deal with them.

Ultimately, my experience with Dustin was really two sided. On one hand he offered great pricing and seemed genuinely interested in my build. That was overshadowed by the extreme delays, subpar product and inability to provide any customer support after its delivery. Considering the quality of the packaging, I highly doubt that the damage was caused by UPS. I would have appealed the transaction with Paypal, but the delay in production and the shipping time pushed me over the time limit (90 days if I recall correctly) to appeal the transaction.

That sucks man.

Get the world handed to them? haha I mean come on man. Bottom line is i got jipped outta a couple hundred bucks and I wasn't happy bout it. How does that have anything to do with having the world handed to them? Your immaturity is obvious and i dont know when I became "some kid"

This has to be one of the dumbest threads I have ever read. I'm kinda embarrassed I read all 126 posts but I kept hoping they would provide a laugh or something worthwhile, guess I was wrong.

IBTL, it's coming very soon I would guess.

oh and hotel im just trying to look out for you man.. ive heard you can get strep throat from having a dick down your throat for too long..

You know what even though this may not be entirely your fault, I think the buyer was misguided thinking that no damage was on the bumper. You even said that you knew there were cracks. Stress cracks or whatever cracks, there is damage simple as that. If I bought this bumper and was told just needs a respray im expecting there to be no damage, I dont care if its used because then you would atlest tell me hey there are stress cracks all over this bumper that you are buying ya know? He threatened legal action and blast him on the forum but if I were you Id be the bigger man drop the ego and just say ok lets fix this because its better to leave the drama out of here and have a forum war over some cash which is nothing for you baller.

^ thats exactly what im saying.. and thats it. Im not attacking him as a person or anything, im just saying I was misled into thinking that I would only have to respray when now im doing fiberglass repairs

O'rly???



You barley just broke 100 posts on this forum, not 1 single iTrader rating and your squealing like a pig over your own mistake?

Instant classic. Instant classic.

Bring out the gloves haha And it sounds like other people have had similar experiences as me and thats unfortunate. Does anyone know any other dealers that sell side skirts, preferably greddy?

haha hotel.. and please tell me your not telling me that because you have more posts than me that it makes you any more important. All that that makes you is a 40 year old guy that sits on the computer in peoples threads thinking he knows everything about everything. If you actually got your head out of dustins *** for 5 seconds you would realize that I have a legitimate point, and although I made some mistakes in the process, so did he. He should not have said it was ready for painting if it had these cracks in it, bottom line. Im over being mad at him he did what he had to do and so did I. So why do you feel like an internet badass because you have SOO many posts in a forum.
