FuszNissan · 05-27-2013, 07:18 PM

I'm surprised that Password JDM hasn't come into this thread and said something

There was another thread when they showed up at first that we talked about the poor fitment on the CF cover pieces. They were happy to talk to me in email and a couple times on the phone to discuss it, but the moment I said I wanted it fixed (basically replaced) they shut down.

yah..... if any jdm company produces a bigger cooling plate like the PWJDM ill get rid of my PWJDM covers

but i want it to be bigger like the PWJDM..... from what ive learned building this car.... expensive is better than cheap with b*llshit fitment.....

on a side note wtf is with our cars not coming out with new parts no more? and how does a damn scion FRS have so many kits out already

to be honest im a little jealous cuz they get so much attention from the jdm companies and i dont even think that they are that great....

Sheer numbers. FRS is more affordable, and many more produced.

i see so many of them on island its crazy..... how about you guys?

Scion Frs & BRz 2013 newest models, as the 370z is at the end of its generation. It is a shame but I still love my 370Z!! Really at this point our generation Z's are almost 7 years old!!! 2009s hit the streets in 2008....seems so long ago. I think this is why the decline in more new products for our cars compared to the FRS & BRZ.

There are a good number in Houston, not many modded though.
That will change though, there are a lot of companies investing in the car but it is taking awhile for the parts to hit the street.

I think if we want more we need to push companies more. I mean, we are a smaller group so we need to help companies want to build new parts. Only issue I see is people will need to donate their cars to help.

Although I read this thread before I purchased it, I decided to buy the PWJDM cooling plate when it was on sale for Black Friday. I was hoping to get lucky and maybe, just maybe get a piece that was actually usable. The piece was finally delivered on Friday and well to put it lightly, it's terrible. See the pictures below. So I called PWJDM within minutes of opening the box and they claimed its from shipping and that there is no way they would have shipped someone out this bad (I provided them the pics below as well). They said they would find a new piece and send me pics right away. Well the rest of Friday passed, and all of yesterday and I got nothing. I'm thankful that I used paypal cause now I can file a claim against them, I'm not waiting around. I'll keep everyone updated but this is a joke. Their design is definitely the best out there right now, but execution is just pathetic.

No surprise. File with PayPal and look for another option. Do not wait for them, they have horrible customer service. I would get the Zele cover (it's just like the factory piece but CF) or, fabricate one if you want a piece that covers more.

Carbon fiber element on here does nice work.

The same people that tried to dupe their customers by saying they were going out if business.

I was hoping that things might have changed with all the negative press but instead, it looks like things have gotten worst. Darn shame that a good idea is so poorly executed.

Bodytechz · 12-16-2013, 09:49 AM

I purchased the same item from PWJDM a couple years ago for my Nismo and since it has pitted and is a poor fit as there are rub marks. Also, also I feel it's a poor design in general because it covers up the windshield washer container.
