Even this one starts as a A+ but then quickly digresses into a bunch of people who are amazed that the guy got good service and chime in with their horror stories. MPG had a story to tell- explaining his earlier post about past experiences.

The first feedback thread in march was positive and I catch myself even complimenting them on a solid start-

Business isn't about STARTING... business is about FINISHING.


So go ahead- like I said to Tylerxfire in his dealings with Strafe: Roll the dice.

I am out $ from BAUSauto and have not heard anything for weeks!! I need body parts for an upcoming show and my car is at the shop chillen. I did not hear back from BAUSauto so I tried ordering from CARBODYKITS. Upon receiving my invoice I decided to do some research.

"ED TUEY" @ CARBODYKITS is taking payments to their paypal address mrsbodykits@gmail.com

Strafe's downfall was continuing to take orders and not fill them, people got pissed and lashed back. Baus is doing damage control by not taking orders they can't handle at the moment.

Get real. You don't know what you're talking about. There is no "myriad" of outraged customers, yes Lawrence(the person posting as CBK) is an idiot, and a business seeming to be mismanaged is not actually true. Get some real facts together before you jump on a thread and make assumptions.

Baus is doing damage control by not taking orders they can't handle at the moment. don't forget these aren't just G35Driver vendors or even just forum vendors, these are real people w/a business to run. they can choose to invest their time and money however they want.

yes, the back and forth drama is lame and needs to stop but bunch of non-customers coming on here in an outrage doesn't change anything. people who aren't looking to buy any of the new or hard to find parts these companies are developing or can get a hold of are all so quick to cry "BAN" but that just means you cutting options down for someone else. not everyone here is looking for a plenum spacer or hood shocks, some people are looking for stuff you can just find anywhere.

i'm not excusing any of the behavior on here from the vendors, just reminding people that without Strafe, Baus and CBK, a lot of people on here who did get their parts would've had to spend a lot more money or not have certain parts.

Back in 2011, at the time of the post that was quoted, BAUSauto's username was Carbodykits because they were doing some business for them on g35driver. Fast forward to today, BAUSauto is doing their own thing (under a new screen name) and using another paypal address and Carbodykits is back again doing business on the forum.




Our biggest fear is a repeat of issues we have had in the past with vendor fulfillment of these orders and any please reach out to any of the driver site team or myself if a response is not heard from Eric.
