******

funkedelic · 11-22-2009, 12:31 AM

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this but can anybody tell me if ****** is still a sponser on this forum? I looked them up on the sponser section and all of their threads were "no longer active" I really want to buy a hood from them but can't seem to find anything about them recently..

any help?

Seems like ***** (******) kinda fell off the face of the earth. I believe he was banned here a short time ago and after a quick check; I haven't been able to find him sponsoring anywhere else either. His website is also gone.

EDIT: Check with Hedges as he did purchase the hood. ..

Pretty sure he/they were banned.

Scimitar335i · 11-22-2009, 08:58 AM

He is still in business but he is more of a distributor now rather than a vendor. In other words he has middlemen doing his work for him now...

freshnezzz · 11-22-2009, 02:00 PM

he had great deals on products! can't believe he is banned

How come?

gtrokin330 · 11-22-2009, 02:50 PM

i read somewhere that his middleman is JBSPEED

funkedelic · 11-22-2009, 03:33 PM

Thanks for the help guys

stevenqdz · 11-22-2009, 03:37 PM

well ppl claim that some product they made have fitment issues... but i bought my mtech spoiler from them and it fit pretty good.. for a price of 79 shipped.

Kg810 · 11-22-2009, 03:48 PM

I'd stay away just to be safe, there is a reason why he is banned and is now trying to sell his bootlids and whatever else through JBSPEED. Just don't get yourself into fitment issues over a few bucks.

funkedelic · 11-22-2009, 08:47 PM

Its a hood that i want not a trunk. The reason im trying to find ****** isn't because i want to save a few bucks.. its because the hood that they make (M3 rep) is the closest match to a real oem M3 one (Which doesn't fit on non M's) If somebody else made it and it fit perfect i would go with them but i have to make due with what i can find out there.

The other M3 reps have a nasty dome on it, and doesn't look anything like the round smaller dome on the actual M3 hood.

persian54 · 11-22-2009, 10:30 PM

my carbon8 m3 hood is almost identical to the ****** one

and if it wasn't for the stock shock things being to strong, fitment would be a lot better.
just needs some adjustment

local deals are always best IMHO

BMSe92 · 12-19-2009, 04:49 PM

I bought a aero front lip from them... fitment was good, but paint work was horrible.

goodstuff448 · 12-31-2009, 03:32 AM

Don't do it. If he has sold bad fitment items and has a bad rep with a bunch of members. Also banned from this forum. Why would you think it would be different with you. Best not support a business like that. He is banned for a reason. Just my opinion.

xytron · 01-21-2010, 12:17 AM

that's cuz ***** is shady as hell. he told me a certain price for a spoiler. my friend said ***** had told him earlier that he owes my friend $50 from another purchase so he can get $50 off another item when my friend buys from him again. i told my friend to ask him for the price, ***** just gave him the price that he gave me but plus $50, saying that he will get $50 off.

i told my friend to copy and paste my convo with him regarding the price he gave me and send it to him. ***** never replied and disappeared. horrible shady guy

We have a very close relationship with ****** send me
a pm if there is anything that you need we do carry the their whole product line.

As far as fitment goes ***** has been a great vendor to work with and takes returns with out a problem. In fact most 90% of the parts on my car are from zhsift and I am very happy with them.
