LowLifeKustoms Mounts ?!? i want answers NOW

[d356bud]

He told me he's annoyed by all these people trying to harrass him and harrassing him will not get things done any faster. In fact, pissing him off makes things move slower.

harrassing him? he wont return phone calls or e-mails, I've been waiting since the begining of July. umm... if I'm not mistaken, taking peoples money and not suppling the product is called fraud.

[StricNyne]

i got held up with a car rally (was awesome) i am going there today, an btw, the address is not his address but just his street i need a number lol

[lilskyline240]

i cant find his street address number online anywhere unless you pay money.

[d356bud]

give me a call when u see this

[lilskyline240]

who?

[themadscientist]

As i read all this drama i am reminded of a comment someone made.

I am not giving my money to any "company" that would call itself "LowLifeKustomz". Jeez man, it just inspires confidence.

This guy picked an appropriate name because he is really doing everything wrong and the more the evidence comes out the less it looks like stupidity and more like underhandedness.

[d356bud]

I believe I finally got my driveshaft cuz there's a large box sittin at my house

seriously. i think i said something similar when they first appeared on the "scene"

hate to say i told you so....

[StricNyne]

talked to his ex wife today, she said he lives at the shp[. and he still refuses to talk to me she said he has no money, and no mounts, so i am gunna go there, some time this week, and we are going to the machine shop that made the mounts, if all else fails .... i just dont wanna say

[lilskyline240]

Wow, sorry to hear man...

[300Plus]

hell you should have a little fun with the ex wife, take some pictures, bring them with you to his shop and slap him with the stack of Polaroids...... it has always worked for me

[m tr4nch]

hell you should have a little fun with the ex wife, take some pictures, bring them with you to his shop and slap him with the stack of Polaroids...... it has always worked for me

i agree with this

damn los, this guy is the only reason why your damn car hasnt been able to get finished in the last few months it seems... if you need help with anything let me know man

[Moolovesblue]

How exactly is a stack of polaroids gonna help the situation? I am sure you are trying to be funny...but I didn't laugh...yes this situation is crazy...but comments like that..or threats are not going to help anything....it can only make things worse

[StricNyne]

werd thnx matt, but i am stuck, i wanna go by his shop but i dont think it will end up good but i am gunn ahave to cuz i am not donating to his company....

[Moolovesblue]

No one has asked you to donate to his company...and I asked you nicely yesterday to lay off of the threats and I would try and help you out. It hasn't even been 24 hours since I talked to you, you cant expect me to perform a miracle, especially when this doesn't even involve me.

[lilskyline240]

ppl have tried talkin to this guy. it dont work. Hes just tryin to make money. Ive sent him emails asking about mounts and he says he has some at his shop and can ship them out when i send him the money. but he never gets me pics when i ask to see them

PROLLY CUZ HE DOESNT HAVE ANY MOUNTS!!!

[Coolwhip]

threats not helping him get his stuff?

haha, thats a good one.

Like leaving the situation alone and forgetting about it will make his mounts show up in a timely manner by themself.

scum gets treated like scum, so that low life can get what he deserves. Whatever that might be.

[StricNyne]

i never stated i was going there right now, but i am planning for the worse, he obvoisly dosent care about me he still hasnt contacted me at all he talks through his his ex wife, that says alot about his moral character right there, he wont be a man and contact me about it, but TONS of other people have contacted him looking for parts, or mounts and he contacts them back immediately, let me ask you this if someone takes something from you, do you just let them take it or do you do something about it, i mean i could be a d!ck and called his mom cause i have her phone number but did i ? i dont believe in fighting fire with fire, and that is the only reason i have been this patient, but its nearly done, liek i said i will try doing it your way but i dont expect results, dont get me wrong i would love to be wrong on this but i dont expect much, but we will see.....

[300Plus]

yea ^^^^ what he said

How exactly is a stack of polaroids gonna help the situation? I am sure you are trying to be funny...but I didn't laugh...

ahhh come on that was funny, you just need to pull you head out for air

and in all seriousness... if this guy was slaking on me... and his ex wife wasn't bad looking... I'd not only slap him with a stack of polaroids I'd use the pictures to make a calendar for him...... with two Decembers so 13 times a year he would have something to remember me by!

I'm way down here but I've got you back Carlos

-Kyle

[d356bud]

If theres anything else I can help u with, just let me know

[Moolovesblue]

have you realized that I am the ex? and I am trying to resolve this the best that I can...and making comments like that really do nothing to help....me and him aren't together, so why would he care about pics...he would be like...she can do whatever she wants.........look normally I have a good sense of humor and can handle it...but this is a bad situation that I have been thrown into...I could have told Carlos to f off...but I didn't...I will get this resolved...but like I said...I will need more than a day.

[DJButton]

This thread really sucks, it's a shame to see things like this happen. I was handed a business card for Low Life back at Carlisle this year and thought to myself... yeah like I'll ever get work done there. I would feel like my inteligence was insulted if someone suggested that name for my shop. Either way that is irrelevant, Erik Rummel needs to resolve the people he has slighted.

I don't think it's really his ex's business in straightening out his mistakes but uh, thanks for trying to help I'm sure.

[300Plus]

no no no I'm just trying to make lite of the problem really, plus to I just wanted to make fun of the guy haha. So my apologies to you as I do understand its serious and stressful for those involved.

"KICK HIS A@$ SEEBASS" sorry had to be done

[0wn3r]

Omg...This thread just got so f'ing good.

I'm starting to feel your pain with a similar situation I'm in with Zerolift Autolab...and they're actually a sponsor. Thousands of dollars were cashed over 3 weeks ago, I was told it should have arrived on the 15th and i STILL can't get a tracking number or even get an excuse.

[themadscientist]

never know who your dealing with

[iroc07]

This is Erik from LLK.

Let me first start off by saying to anyone that waited for parts, or even an email back that I apologize to any and all persons that did not get the fastest and most prompt service possible. I do not and never have had a lacks attitude on things like that, and any delays were never out of laziness or a bad attitude, simply out of scheduling difficulties that there are only so many hours in a day and sometimes no matter how much you try to barter with the clock it just will not allow you any more time in a single day.

Let me also make everyone aware, that NO PERSON has EVER been sold a part and told that it was in my possession when it was not.

Anyone that ordered mounts before they were finished or while they were still under development was made fully aware by email, or direct phone communication, no messages, that they were buying a product that was on backorder, and/or under development and the delivery times of said parts would be given to the best of my ability. That ability does not include the power to dictate the operation of other companies. If a contracted machine shop tells me that the parts will be done a certain day, I will give you a time based on that. If the machine shop does not produce I cannot change that, only offer my apologies and try to remedy the problem. Which I have done and offered to do on EVERY occasion that this has come up.

The person or persons waiting for their products seem to have left all that out while they were ranting and raving. These people were kept constantly updated on the status of their parts, that is until they started harassing me with phone calls, and other types of intimidation and threats.

I notice how willing these people are to throw me under the buss, and conveniently leave out important information, and fail to mention all of the fully satisfied customers that they were referred to me by.

I have never ripped anyone off, and I have never tried, and I have never misled anyone to try and get money from them. I will admit that I have counted on the word of other businesses and that has caused myself and other people problems, but nothing was ever done with that intent.

I also notice that some of the people commenting to this thread seem to feel justified in taking physical action over a simple business matter. Some of these same people would expect me to bow instantly to threats by people that demand proffessionalism from me and yet refuse to act the same in return. You reap what you sow. If someone starts acting like a 6 year old to me, I can only assume that is how they wish to be treated. Think about it, if you filled out a raincheck at WalMart and the delivery time got bumped back you would not go to WalMart and start threatening the cashiers??? Would you? No, you would stop and realize that the person that sold you the part is not trying to scam you, but that sadly it is out of that persons control and they are doing the best they can for you. I wonder why it is that every one complaining seems to have forgotten that.

Carlos- You will get your mounts, or your money whichever your prefer, and you will be contacted, however I will not respond to your threatening comments, or behavior. May I also remind you that you paid for a set of mounts knowing full well that they were still being developed and were on backorder, and you did this in part for a discount. You did so and did not have a problem with this and even told me that there was "no rush" because you did not even have your motor yet. When you made me aware that you had a motor and were awaiting your mounts I did my best to get you an estimate on when you would get them, and even kept you updated on the progress, and any additional information I had. The way you are painting this scenario it is no wonder people are jumping on board to get your back. I would too if I had only this one-sided information.

Dustin- You have your drive shaft. I apologize for the delay in getting it shipped out. I would also like to ask why you never bothered to explain to this forum that YOU told me wait on shipping the drive shaft out on more than one occasion? It was 3 times I believe, that I offered and you declined, correct? And when you decided that the time frame for the mounts was not to your liking did I or did I not refund that part of your money? Also you never bothered to let this forum know that since there were earlier delays I even refunded 10% of your money without even being asked as a gesture to keep you happy and assured that I was making my best efforts on your behalf.

If there is anyone to be angry at you should join me in being angry at the machine shop that directly and indirectly lied to all of us, and made me look bad, and caused all the rest of you grief. I am not attempting to cleanse myself of all blame, I do sometimes have shipping delays, and I am actively working on hiring someone to cure this on-again off-again problem.

To the person that has CLAIMED to have fixed the "**** " that I "****s" up. If you have ever touched a car that came from me, I assure you that you have not fixed anything that myself or my shop has caused to the best of my knowledge. Judging from your location I believe I know what car you are reffering to, and what you did is LIE to everyone on this forum. You lied by misleading them. You did this by describing that car as a car that I have done, when in fact it was not. You also made it out to be something that happens regularly which would also be a lie, if that is what you meant. If not it is only fair that you clarify yourself. If you had bothered to get your information straight before making claims against other people to make yourself look better you would know this... That the car I believe you are talking about was done by the former owner and brought here to be fixed. It was then never paid to have the work done so it was sold for the owner, and had nothing to do with me, other than a very budget front mount intercooler and a GReddy timing belt. I stored the car for the owner for a very long time for basically nothing and even tried to help the buyer with whatever info I could within reason. What your doing is slander, and it is indeed illegal, not to mention one of the most unprofessional things a shop can do. You would not catch RB motoring on a forum claiming things like this weather it was true or not. Its not done because its not right. There are a lot of shops that I get cars from that I have to fix, I am even known for that, I dont go on the internet and try to pull myself up by putting them down.

Anyone that wants to contact me about any of this and get actual information instead of one-sided ranting is more than welcome too call or email me.

I would hate for my hundreds of satisfied customers, current customers, and future customers to miss out on or have a bad idea about what we do here because of this. I have been doing this for about 8 years now, and this is the first time anything major like this has ever happened. I hope that everyone will look at this for what it really is, a simple screw up that I have apologized for 100 times already and not a real reflection of what goes on at my company.

[iroc07]

As i read all this drama i am reminded of a comment someone made.

This guy picked an appropriate name because he is really doing everything wrong and the more the evidence comes out the less it looks like stupidity and more like underhandedness.

maybe some of the problem with this thread and this forum is because of the moderators. You pick on the name of a company like you are in 3rd grade. maybe you will call me a poopyhead next. I also notice that in the thread there are threats and comments that I have seen shut down many times when the mod does not like it, but this you let go rampant with no direction or attempt to be objective. I feel bad for all the good people on this forum that have to be subjected to this sort of thing. Arent there guidelines Moderators are to follow?? I would be amazed if this thread is within the guidelines of what is supposed to be done with a thread of this nature. I could be wrong on this also, but are mods supposed to be impartial, or jump on whatever bandwagon gets them a few laughs or gets people fired up?Maybe I am wrong on that, if someone could fill me in I would be greatfull.

also in this same thread it is talked about that someone has paid thousands to a company and cannot get a tracking number or even a REASON why they have not received anything!! I keep people step by step updated on parts that they bought for a discount while they were UNDER DEVELOPMENT!!!!!!! and we are talking about a fraction of that money, and yet you pick on me for my name???? This forum is unbelievable.I would also assume that this post will be taken down just like any other time you say anything that isnt kissing the but of the moderator, but it should be said, and since this thread is all about making me a scapegoat I might as well say it here.

DJ this isnt so much directed at you, even though you would be in the group that I thought was better than judging a shop that you can see their work in front of you and can only fixate on the name printed on a business card. I sincerly hope you are not that closeminded in other areas of your life.

The name is a FUNNY PLAY ON WORDS PEOPLE!!!!!!!! we do alot of lowered cars and started as a car club about 12 years ago. I am very very sad that I misjudged so many people, and gave so many more credit than they obviously deserved. I never thought so many people would be this childish and closeminded, and humorless. Every day, we say a car is "sick" or "killer" or " bada**" or "crazy" any of a hundred phrases like that, and you people make a stink, and more importantly you have the balls to pass JUDGEMENT on this company for the same type of sarcasm that spews out of your mouths on a daily basis. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. This company was started to give everybody a fair shake, and not to be like all the other places out there that just bolt stuff on and try to get the most amount of money out of you as possible. We even spend countless hours of R&D OFF THE CLOCK to help people get things that work just as well or better than other brands but cost them less.

This is what I get for trying to help out the nissan community. and help people that arent rich still get a cool car built. A simple "thanks" would have been fine, but I got stuck with a group of people that would rather do things like this instead. I am really starting to see why Jon Powell got out of the RB community.

Yes I did ask you to wait on the driveshaft until the mounts were done, because theres no sense of having a driveshaft when u cant put the engine in the car. When you offered me a refund you promised that you could have the mounts done by the next Wednesday , so I took your word for it. The time before that you said that you would have them done in a week. Then when I finally did cancel my order my driveshaft was sent out supposibly a week after on a Wednesday. This is what you said", I call you back in a day or two with the tracking number." I never got that call nor an e-mail. Two weeks(keep in mind it doesn't take 2 weeks to ship something to my house which is 3 hours away) went by and nothing. I tried e-mail and by phone. I told you "two days to give me proof of shipment or I'll file complaints against you" on the last message I left. I didn't hear anything back thats when I filed complaints. As far as the mounts go yes you kept me informed all the way, but thats not the main issue I had. It was when you stop responding, thats when I started gettin pissed.

[iroc07]

ppl have tried talkin to this guy. it dont work. Hes just tryin to make money. Ive sent him emails asking about mounts and he says he has some at his shop and can ship them out when i send him the money. but he never gets me pics when i ask to see them

PROLLY CUZ HE DOESNT HAVE ANY MOUNTS!!!

I guess its time to call out another person whos Mommy never told him its not nice to LIE!

Ben It seems you have been doing even more fabrication than I have these past few days. I fabricate parts and you fabricate LIES! Wow, does that mean we are in the fabrication business together??? Should I copy and paste what I have really told you in our emails, or would you rather admit to being a liar, and I wont embarass you?

Would you like to tell all the people that you lied about me saying I have the products and will ship them out when you send money? or would you rather me show everyone the emails that perfectly clearly state to you that the drive shafts are made to order, and some parts were on backorder, and I would check for you on status, and that the mounts are being PRODUCED, and it would be over a week before I would ship them???? Its up to you Ben. I can do it either way, I can let you handle your lies like a man, or I can just show everyone what you did with your own emails.

This B.S. on this forum needs to stop.

[iroc07]

Dustin- I said I apologize for the delay. I was told it was shipped out only to find out that it had not been sent. In the meantime you started getting very nasty, which is fine if you feel justified, but dont expect people to respond well to that. I was professional with you, and remained that way until I did not get the same in return. I cam not going to call or write you to argue with you. I am not 10 years old. I will talk to you like grown up as long as the other person is talking to me the same. Again I apologize for the delays. You not only got your part, but you knew I had it and was not trying to rip you off, and it would have been a little more fair if you would have explained that somewhere along the way. I hope your driveshaft works well for you and I hope you have a lot of fun with your car.
