It is what it is with Strafe Automotive

ill make this fast.

Back story:
So back in late September I attended "The G35 Sedan Showcase GTG III".
At that event I participated in a free raffle, witch my name had been selected for a 03/04 nismo sedan front end.

At the end of the raffle I was introduced to Dustin, we conversated for a little about "how its nice to see a poly nismo being manufactured & that I myself have a 06 sedan.
At that point in time Dustin agreed to get me a 05/06 poly nismo, for the 03/04 would not work.

So I left Socal empty handed on the notion that Dustin would follow through with are original agreement. "that i would be receiving a 05/06 poly when they where made available"

Now two months later I am here with nothing and it turns out I will be getting NOTHING form strafe.

{one could say that "someone got things MIXED up or what have you}

I will say that this verbal agreement was not a "A & B convo" I won't drop names but there was a lot of open ears..ill let the pm's do the rest.

Please contact him (included on this PM) to obtain your prize.

hey brandon,
nice meeting you too man.. how was the drive back?
Hey man just saw the fittment for the 04s that sht is spot on,nice work.
Is there a eta on the 05s?
right now not eta on the 05's for that style.
Ok :/
I was hoping to pick this up down in socal on 12/3 but if its not ready by then will I have to pay for shipping?
Thanks
-brandon
hey brandon,
yes, unfortunately.
Hey Dustin, would it be possible to just get a FG nismo, or strafespeed sedan cf hood, or cf V3 trunk
Hey brandon,
I just asked my partner today of he remembered what we offered on the raffle day. We ONLY gave away 2 bumpers. One for sedans and one for coupes. I think Marcus or whomever that coordinated this event/giveaway got strafe mixed up with another company. I sent Marcus and my partner copy of this pm to keep everyone in the loop.

Very very sorry this happened Brandon. I've made things as right as I can by getting you a RareJDM Aluminum Underpanel and SxExCx ground kit for FREE.

HUGE thanks to RareJDM and SxExCx who stepped up to take care of someone who isn't even their customer!

Am I a bad person if I've dreamt that the world will one day be without Strafe?

Nice to see others step in and make this right

Hands down I am very glad that you did not have to be a guinea pig and try out a new bumper that I guarantee you would fit like total crap. I would rather you get quality products from RAREJDM and SEAN versus poor quality products backed by lack luster service. THUMBS UP TO RAREJDM and SEAN for stepping up an earning a loyal customer and a community to back you up.
