Good price, but I don't know.. never heard of them. Shipping might suck from NY even if they are legit.

Anyone ever buy from them? I need to order my fiberglass front bumper asap.

DO NOT BUY PARTS FROM HIM! I bought a few parts from him in August of 2010 and haven't received them yet. Various emails have been exchanged where he was going to "try to ship it this week" or "it broke in the mold" or "I just got some done, Ill ship it later this week". THE GUY IS A CROOK!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!

I told him that I would like a refund but he will not return my money. Save yourself the head ache, buy from a legitimate company like GT Racing. Let this joker find a new career.

Hmm a bit odd. He seems to carry parts from both Broadfoot and IFC. I was pretty sure IFC was located more in the mid South of the US (can't quite remember why though). Mike was the guy I dealt with who I thought was the owner of IFC. http://www.allporscheracing.com/BodyK.html
Edit: Ohio.
What's odd is that this NY guy even has some of the same stock photos on his site. I tried contacting Mike a month or so ago without luck. Perhaps he's moved his whole business...or this guy in NY is ripping more than just Piper off??

I was really bummed out, my first order of parts was a "feeler" to see how future transactions would go. I wanted to buy a LOT more fiberglass parts from him if he made quality parts and if the transaction went smoothly. Its truly sad that you can't trust peoples word these days.

this.

I'm pretty sure a 5th grader can make a more organized website than that.

*sigh* I wish this topic came up sooner because I ordered and paid for a vented nose piece from him...um, long enough ago that I don't remember, so it's been a few weeks and I don't have it. He said he was backed up and that there was a few people in line before me for and that each panel is individually molded, but who knows at this point. I just remembered the other day that I was supposed to get something from this guy, so I emailed him and have got nothing back. After looking at some people's replies to this thread, my next email is not going to be very nice and I REALLY don't want have to follow up with a phone call...

Seriously. Take a look at the decal page if you really want a laugh.

I had the misfortune of coming across the vented nose panels via some other web page. Had I found his products through his own page, I most likely would have reconsidered my purchase. Maybe I can resolve my problem through Paypal and get my money back.
