I got my mounts and driveshaft from them. Both took a little bit longer than he initially stated but I was able to get them both. By the way I went to the shop to buy the stuff so it wasnt over the internet. Their not out to d!ck people over I just dont think he has any help as everytime I went there it was just the one guy and a **** load of cars being worked on. He helped me out alot to, most places just give you the stuff and leave you there, he explained everything to me to make sure the swap went smooth as butter. Also his prices are better than anywhere else. McKinny is like 3 times the price.

I can assure you LowLifeKustomz is legit. He has my black kouki in my sig below right now. I have been to the shop and I have seen the mounts in person. They look great! If I knew about them before I purchased my syko mounts I most likely would have gotten their mounts. They are nice people and don't d!ck you around.....but, sometimes other people d!ck them around. Which is the case with the delay in the mounts. Guaranteed you'll get your mounts. Don't let the actions of someone else out of their control cause you to give them a bad name.

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

not trying to start a war but.....why should a name matter? isnt it suppose to be all about reputation. i mean theres SLOWboy racing right up the road from me so why would you want to take a car there to be made fast because of there name? these people are making a cheap quality mount for people who cant and or dont want to shell out the money for a "NAME" brand mount. i mean coolwhip got shafted by the GTR shop but nobody can rip on them because they have a good name. they do good work and sell some of the best engines and parts. things happen to people and they get behind on stuff and im sure i would be upset too

Because a name is the first thing a person sees. Let's assume for a moment that they are 100% good to go. They will never know how much business they lost because people who are looking see the name, get a bad vibe and don't look any further.If you had a nickname would you start using it in a business setting? I don't sign my financial reports THEMADSCIENTIST. Think of cultivating more customers as an interview process, you have to get their attention and then continue to further their interest. The way you treat customers who give you the benefit of the doubt will net you word of mouth which is of course good but you risk losing cold new customers who may not get the impression that a company who claims to be "lowlife" and unable or unwilling to spell correctly is at all professional. Perception is important and a name like that sounds like two guys in their parents garage with a welder who need to pull up their pants. Are they? I assume not but one could not be blamed for expecting it.The real world is like that, take your peircings out before the interview.

I dont care how legit a business is to other customer, but if they SCREW over just one customer, then they are not legit at all. I say drive out there and get your mounts!

good point, it sounds like the first impressions do stick... If I had a missing tooth, which I do, People look at me differently then when I wear my fake tooth. Its just reality

When I called the guy he was nice and straight forward. He told me the mounts where on back order because the company that makes the mounts where waiting for products or something. I'm sure if he had the mounts he'd give them 2 ya.

For those that said that, "this or that company has rep, blah blah blah". Rep gets the customer to look at your company. Customer service does sell (so does price, lol). So those who say, hey that 1 bad transaction out of the 20 mounts they sell a month isn't bad. Well, 5% or 50% is still bad business.

As far as GTR shop shafting me. I don't care if it was JUN auto that sold me parts. They received my money, and gave me the run around for 3 months and lied to me saying it was shipped but never showed me any evidence of carrier, tracking, etc. By the 4th month they don't even respond to email.

That 5% is enough for me to say, "your company sucks"

Anyways, Good luck on this, if they respect the customer, they should allow you to receive a refund if they can not hold their end of the deal, hence get the parts you need within the time you were told.

amen.

When the order is place. They should say.."hey here are your options" since of course you don't want to loose business or a sale that already has happen. So thats customer service right there. "you can either wait" or you can request and get a "refund".

He ordered, we waited, now he wants a refund. I think that sounds correct.
