Like the title says, have any of you guys ever heard of these guys? Or, (If it's too good to be true it probably is.)

Found this company on craigslist while searching for a front end for my S14. They have a cheesy website so I think it may just be a scam, but if they are legit, they have some pretty good prices for some JDM goodness.

From their web page:

ALL OF OUR CARS ARE GUARANTEED 50 STATE LEGAL AND ARE READY TO REGISTER IN ALL 50 STATES

Wrong.

Fail.

Walk away.

By the way, if they claim to have been around for five years, why is their URL so new? It was registered on 15-Feb-2010, and only for ONE YEAR.

NO legitimate business registers a domain for only one year.

Looks like a chop shop.

No different fro any of the other wannabe importers, claiming they can sell cars that are "US legal".

We've been down this road in the Skyline forum tons of times.

I wasn't really interested in the Skylines, I know they can't be legally registered, I'm more interested in the JDM Supra's and RX-7's for $14-15K, or the imported 180SX for $12K. I know they are fake, just wanted to spread the word, I'm sure someone from here is liable to stumble across these guys and think OMG WTF, I too can haz a J-spec 180SX or RX7 without having to piece it together.
