    not this again. I think there was somebody else that had trouble getting their lip on time... I'd run a search to see what happened to the last person...

    if youre not referring to me, i dont know who it was. but it took me about 3 months to get my lip kit from him. and when it finally did arrive, it came broke:

    Oh, and if you live in the US, i forewarn you about an $85ish customs charge you will get about a month after you get your kit. You really shouldnt have ordered from him.

    if youre interested, send me a PM, ill forward you the email conversations that we had about him refusing to refund my money. Because he was taking so long to ship it, I told him I wanted a refund. He refused. Then the kit came broke and he again refused to refund any money.

    It's a customs charge for shipping over the border from Canada. For big items, customs charges may apply according to weight. Sellers seldom tell the buyer about complications like this. Once they receive your money, it's like you're on your own. I never buy big items from out of country to avoid this. You may get lucky and customs may look past this.

    yeah, you might get lucky, but keep your eye open for the mail for the next 2 months when you do finally get it. i got slammed with that bill.

    I hope you get your kit in better condition than what mine came in.

    not a penny of it. it would have been nice to receive some compensation though to get some money pack i had to pay out of pocket to have the repairs done.
    it sucked either way you look at it though. last year i ordered the kit on 6/28/06. I was having all the work done on my car for NOPI in mid sept. The kit didnt arrive till 9/5/07. The kit came damaged like you saw in the pictures. I emailed him about it and go this reply:

    Read from the bottom up on this one
    basically he didnt care that it was a shitty quality kit to begin with. He tried to pawn it off to the shipping company. Problem was, I needed that kit installed YESTERDAY. I called the shipping company and they wanted 2 weeks ALONE to come out and inspect the kit. Pictures wouldnt work for them.

    NOPI is now a week away, what do I do? Send the kit back to him and wait 2 more months for a refund, or bite the extra charge and have a car to go to NOPI with? I bit the bullet and ate the cost of the repairs. 1 month later, i get another bill in the mail from customs:

    *no more emails from him after that*

    He didnt give a rats ass about me after he got his money.

    i do have to add that the front and back bumper lips were good quality. very sturdy and packed well. however the side skirts were a completly different story. they were so thin, you could put a dollar bill behind it and read it clear as day thru the fiberglass. on top of that, the side skirts were also not packed very well.

    when i paid him, i put down a deposit so he could 'order' the kit and have it sent to me when i had the rest of the money. when i did pay the rest of the amount due, the front and rear lips were packed and ready to go, however the skirts were not even made yet i guess. i started to put a fire under his ass and told him i wanted my money back when a month passed. he told me he would refund my money.

    about 2 weeks later, still no refund. i file a claim with paypal and told pete that im not lifting the claim till i get a refund or the lipkit.

    he finally sends the kit out and i get a tracking number from him. so i lift the paypal dispute. i get the kit a week later, broke. Ive already filed a claim with paypal once on that particular product, so i cant re-open the dispute. He knows this.

    I call the shipping company and tell them what happened. They are based out of Canada I guess. The package was indeed insured, but they were going to take way to long to process my claim.

    Your luck might be different from mine and you might not have a problem at all other than the fact he sucks at communicating with his customers. But everyone I come across that asks where I got my kit, I told them I had it custom made and refuse to tell them about Pete.

    Never in my life will I support and promote his business again until I get some kind of compensation for that crappy kit I got.

    He sounds like an ass. I think we should add him to the shit list along with phozenstone. Send out a warning for other buyers.

    man, i was thinking about getting one of those front lipss. now i think i'll get one like yours rollatuner. I think it'll fit on the 01-02 and if it's made of ABS plastic it will be a whole lot stronger.

    here is another conversation we had over the internet on CCC. if you care to read it:
    http://www.corollacarclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3970&page=1&pp=10

    it doenst start till page 3 though.

    and before anyone asks:
    I took my car to AAMCO to have my clutch master cylinder replaced, while it was in the shop, one of the lift arms got smacked into my front bumper putting a nice hole in the lip. The shop owner took full responsibility and paid out of his own pocket to have the damages fixed. This is how you treat a customer, Pete should take note.

    it looks like it'll fit the 01-02 though. Since shyguy's lip fit both it's worth a try. I have the TRD kit on my 98 anyways. I might just have to transfer the 98-00 TRD kit to the 01-02 then.

    the bumpers are almost the same on the bottom, nothing fiberglass wont fix.

    Hey there fellow corolla dudes and dudets. I just found out that one of my suppliers actually sells body kits, fenders and hoods for the corollas. Just let me know what year you have and I will check to make sure the proper year and then post a pic for you

    This is deviating a bit, but could your supplier get a hold of some STS remote turbo kits? I'm looking for the universal kit.

    Individual sellers usually start off as nice people with good customer service. After a while, they slack off and become another phozenstone.
