did anyone buy anything from jdmcarboy.com? they won't answer to my e-mail, but they answer to my myspace messages. but after i asked if they shipped the part it says "read" but not "replied" so they saw it and decided not to answer me. how long does it take to send a goddam strut bar?

well... I would never buy from a company with such a cheap and ricer sounding name to begin with Let alone a company selling "jdm" parts for a non jdm car... let alone one I have never heard of..... In other words, probably not the best idea in the world.

Hope you dont getted ripped off. Possibly just that they shipped it and havent had time to reply. Has it been a while?

Don't ever ever ever ever ever order parts from them they did the same too me, I have 2 waith like 2 months to get the parts that i order from them after i send hundred's of e-mails phone calls and never answer.

and then finally i get my CF mirror covers, but OH!!! surprise my CF mirror cover's came in a COCA-COLA BOX!!! YEP that's right in a coca-cola box taped with some chip tape like they buy it from the Dollar tree store or 99c store that's how they call it in CA i guess.

Check them up on the BBB website, they have a rating of F! Horrid company to work with! They got booted from Honda-Tech, with two threads reaching nearly 50 pages long bashing the company. I had ordered a twin loop exhaust, and a mugen v2 front lip, both came damaged, the exhaust had a dent and the lip was almost cracked in half. It took nearly 6 months to get it all solved, They said they would replace the lip, but some how the company stopped producing this style. So they sent me spoon mirrors, and a tie-bar which was not made for my vehicle. It wasnt even close to fitting, after they sent the bar I have never heard from them again.

I hope yours goes well! And nothing goes bad. But this goes to EVERYONE on scionlife, run from jdmcarboy quicker than you can actually run!

Here ya go, this is what the BBB thinks about JDM Car Boy:

"We strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices."

Yeah, I would never buy from them.

I would advise staying away from CF mirror covers also. I have them (Firmware)... They whistle 50+mph

annoying

if you are looking for parts for a civic/teggie etc check out jhpusa.com, never heard one bad thing about the company what so ever!
