**EXPOSED** G35 driver community needs a valid explanation
Just read this whole thread. holy crap
I first contacted eric about retrofitting headlights waaaaaay back last year in august. I sent out my headlights by endof September, We ran into a lot of retrofitting problems, and wasnt able to make some things happen.. Basically, it took 5-6 months before I actually got a set of retrofitted lights(March). (my original headlights that I sent had a lot of problems, which caused a delay.) There were times Eric told me he'd have a status update for me within a week, and never called or emailed me. There were times he did not reply to his PM's, but I can vouch that he will fulfill the order or give you a refund. He gave me a huge discount, specifically , 670$ off on the price for the retrofit. So just be patient with him, and things will work out.

wtf dude...my head is spinning with all this drama. Why is everyone out to screw genuine people and change names like I change boxers. Man oh man I disappear for couple weeks but seems like all the strafe shizz drama and political romney, obama, baus, jlc, cbk drama continues. When will this forum change its ways and when will IB quit accepting applications with just tweaking one or two things on the app. I guess $$$$$$$ is everything........

Personally I've order stuff from just about every vendor we've ever had except strafe and I've had nothing but great experiences with them I ordered my bumper from Eric when he first came back and no body wanted to do business with him I took a shot and had a great bumper for a fraction of the price within a week and a 1/2 (which is still on my car holding up great) but... I will never order from any vendor except maybe b2auto lol only because they're local to many horror story's and venders flipping names and ib seems like they're not doing much same stuff keeps happening lol
EDIT: I just took a few mins before heading out to church to do it, see posts below.

The relevant posts from OP, CBK, BAUS and IB:
I am out $$$ because Eric @ BAUSauto will not get back to me. This is not a review. I just want everyone to know. I want cold hard facts from IB STAFF and BAUSauto/CarBodyKits on why this kind of business is happening in our community.
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
HEY GUESS WHAT!!!?? Eric @ BAUSAUTO takes payments under the same paypal address.
SOMETHING FISHY IS GOING ON HERE.
G35driver staff, bausauto, carbodykits, PLEASE! give us a valid explanation on why this is going on in our community.

That paypal address is Carbodykit's paypal. Our former manager and We don't even know how to explain this part is Eric's boss or 50/50 business partner. He left Us to go into another venture and turned back up with BAUS. Eric worked for him to pay debt owed to Us. Which still isn't fufilled . We will get with paypal and see where our transactions are being deposited.
This post is almost a good explanation of what Happened with Eric, Jayr or Long as his real name, and Strafe
https://g35driver.com/forums/6603462-post311.html
Long was Our manager. Before we were allowed to get our company name back We had to show Internet Brands We were not with Eric or Baus, and we were the supplier and manufacturer of those parts.We truly believe that a certain few Staff on here know this story.
We tried to explain in Our very first thread the story, and was pretty much harassed by the very people who speak for Eric and act like he did nothing wrong. This is why we want to sell our parts......
Baus has no record of being a true business. Do you own search.We suggest you call JLC and ask who is Baus . You can demand from Baus the business records. Eric posted his response to that post we linked.
We will get to the bottom of him using Our paypal and file a complaint with Internet brands about him using Our company as his own. We will tell the forum we are not currently fufulling his orders until he and his partner comes clean to us about what the hell are they doing behind closed doors.
Feel free to text us or drop by. No Eric here...No Jayr Here No Baus here..We are sorry you are having problems with them, We felt we needed to clear the air..Good Luck and if you need Our help Our Phone number is in the signature...

Demolition sorry for the delay you have a full refund already in process to your paypal.
Lawrence wtf are you talking about you dumb *** look at the post date.. This was in 2011 back when BAUSauto username was 'Carbodykits' because I obviously took orders for CBK back then. When changed our name there will be old threads up.
You can try deny and try to fuel whatever fire you want or make up more crazy stories to strafe from the truth.. One thing that will never change is that I was apart of carbodykits - which is why people picked up their order from the Santa Fe location...
Oh and you might want to update your facebook -__- and take down all the BAUS pictures lol https://www.facebook.com/carbodykits?ref=ts&fref=ts
Correct first the name was changed to MyAutoDesign but because of the generic words we decided to go with something more specific. Obviously this was some time ago and we're no longer doing this.

It's no secret that BAUSauto was named 'Carbodykits' last year. And it's no secret that we're sharing a building with JLC HENCE RETROFITS! -___-'
It also shouldnt be a secret that Lawnce has been after our business statement and information for god know why and I've been sending you pictures of cat memes to **** him off.. And since we've bought stuff from CBK and they've obviously had the invoices to prove to IB shows that they have our resellers info and business info -__-' So if you were Ed and had half a brain you wouldn't sound so much like Mr Lawrence-who's-not-affiliated-with-carbodykits-yet-has-been-seen-there-multiple-times.
Edit:
Here's some history of this account
April 2011 Carbodykits registered a new user name out of Santa Fe Spring location using ITZ business information
September 2011 Carbodykits name changed to MyAutoDesign in partner with JLC - and started a new venture
November 2011 MyAutoDesign renamed to BAUSauto - and was completely unaffiliated with CarBodyKits since
Now why would we use carbodykit's paypal to collect payment -__- We buy from CarBodyKits, CarbodyKits buys from us, we buy from VIS, VIS buys from us - this goes for a hand full of other vendors on G35Driver ALONE.. **** even strafe bought from us LOL. This industry isnt all big and crazy like Lawrence makes it out to be. We all know each other and see each other once in a while (even run into the amazing lawrence and dustin duo once in a while). The only person here that thinks we're all out to get each other is Lawrence..

But on a serious note, huge apology to driver! I'm working some pretty cool stuff and to be honest we just needed some good funding to do it so I took up quite a few jobs for SEMA to get funding (Which is why I'm here we actually just finished Vivek's G35 in SEMA during the show -__-)
But do know that no one will be scammed the 2-4 backorders I have left are entitled to a full refund anytime. I've also stopped taking orders this month to work on these projects which is why I havent been active on the forum..

I cannot fullfill the order in any reasonable amount of time so instead of having a order sit forever I'd just rather not take it =(
I know this is causing some chaos on g35driver and I know this hurts BAUS' reputation on the forum but in the end no one has a order sitting there forever.

Checked the paypal and the password has not been changed the paypal address has not been used by Baus. Can't tell you their side and where the money you send to them goes. Eric please take down Carbodykits on Facebook was not authorized, and it has Baus stuff all over it.Take down any information such as addresses and Carbodykits names. Clean up all your threads. That was agreement made with Internet Brands.
Any of you can contact IB to get Carbodykits information. We had to prove a lot to them about all relationships with current and former vendors. The whole Eric relationship was explained. Now it is up to this forum to stop getting sidetracked about who we are and focus on what the other guy is telling forum members. We want to sell our parts direct. What Lawrence,Dustin, Eric do is not of concern to us. We supply our parts to a lot of companies.Until we make a mistake please leave that stuff away from us on here. Focus on our performance alone. We don't do shows Address is down below drop by.
Sir if you want a splitter you can order 1 from us it will be done and out. text the number below. 3 people from Hawaii have asked for parts can bundle them. If that is something you like to do..

More:
We have been working with Eric to ensure he doesn't have continued problems fulfilling orders and will continue to work with Baus and the team on Driver to ensure you guys are taken care of.
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.

A good summary of questions that need to be answered to the forum:
So ultimately, I think the main questions we want answered (or confirmed lol) are:
1. Who exactly is CBK?
2. If it does turn out to be Law, how was he allowed back on the forums?
3. What loop holes did he exploit to become a vendor again and what steps are being taken to prevent this from happening AGAIN?
4. What is being done to ensure better communication on BAUS's behalf?
5. If BAUS continues the status quo, what happens then?

Wish I knew the entire back story to this whole thing
Done business with both Dustin and eric and had problems with both....which is why I wouldn't be surprised if everybody is just one big company separated into smaller factions

OP wanted an explanation why CBK's and BAUS' paypal addresses were the same. They actually don't have the same paypal address but Eric used to do biz for CBK on the forum so when he posted the CBK paypal it was when he was posting as CBK on the forum. That's the short of it.
Other issues discussed have been the need for BAUS to improve their customer service and how IB is going to handle it. Also, whether or not Lawrence (from Strafe) is now posting under the CBK account.

There is some truth to this. Many of the body kit vendors buy from the same 2 or 3 places which is why many of them have similar issues with not being able to fulfill orders.

It wasn't a problem with fulfilling my orders.....Eric failed to tell me the truth about the date my part was shipped out and covered it up by saying somebody else dealt with the order ( did partly make up for it by refunding my shipping cost) and in a huge order i had with another driver member through Strafe i only had 2 parts on my part of the order and one of them was wrong....had to wait for a good while to get the replacement part too
To a certain extent I am so glad that I am a cheapskate lazy bastard too lazy to order body parts, RECEIVE DRAMA, paint them and receive fish eyes or orange peel, install them with horrible and lackluster fitament, then drive around the block and the first dip means my bumpers is cracked and time to RINSE AND REPEAT. Order parts, receive drama, get new excuses, receive discount, more excuses, then a refund and a brand new thread.
STOCK POLY FTW....save money, no drama and i tear the shizz out of my bumper and try to bottom out and see if I can break it. You try to avoid potholes and I welcome them.......
