Awesome build! :tup:
I really like what you did with the tailights, I think I might have to do that as well. Otherwise there is just too much red in the back haha

thats exactly why i did it... i thought it was like BAM red so i thought of the outline to break up things a bit

i got an update on the top secret parts.... idk why the heck but they are still in texas.... not bakers fault but UPS... i hate UPS.... in my z's whole modding lifespan ive used UPS only 4 times and each of the 4 times there was a freaking problem.... not to mention the local UPS always trys to rip me the f*ck off and say i gotta pay import tax for my parts which is a freaking scam.... i always get out of it but in return they argue with me and say they have to drop it to my house and that i cant pick it up from the UPS headquarters. But in return they want to charge me what was charged to be shipped from states.

i remember when i brought in my mines wing they wanted to charge me 200 dollars for delivery after they saw the estimated value of the package. When i told them that i would pick it up, they said i couldnt because it wasnt part of there policy, after arguing with the person they said i could pick it up but i would pay tax.... that day i paid 110 dollars in "import tax" i was so frustrated and tired and just wanted my freaking wing i didnt give a damn....

when my jp vizage came in through them... the guy helping me at UPS didnt give me no ******** we walked to the back he loaded the box on the forklift and put it in my truck... i said so no tax this time? He said "what to you mean tax? there is no tax on guam it was already incorporated in the bill you paid the states".... i was so in shock and mad i didnt know what to do...

now brings me to my intakes..... i can only hope and wonder what these f*cktards are gonna tell me next.... i really hope that the guy that helped me with the jp vizage is still there all the other workers there look like they hate there life and job smh sorry for ranting guys im just frustrated that i payed double for shipping it UPS and i ALWAYS have problems... this is the LAST time i deal with UPS i have no idea how they stay in business locally.... smh

wheee! 01-18-2013 01:15 PM

^ +1 on UPS.... they suck for Cdn deliveries too.... USPS is the easiest/cheapest and sometimes faster!...

Navyboy916 01-18-2013 02:49 PM

Jon, u need to write the cooperation about this. Guam has no tax and so when they charge u that I bet they put that money in their pocket.

well see once the parts arrive... ill make some noise if they act stupid again...

my friend from daytona racing emailed me... he said my top secret EC arrived at his shop... his mailing it tomoro... imma kick my self in the head if the freaking EC arrives before the TS intakes and pillars :( you guys have no idea how much the wait is killing me....

Navyboy916 01-21-2013 05:32 AM

Jon, trust me I think I know a little something about waiting LOL. It sucks I can't sleep well anymore until the motor is done. Like a crackhead waiting for a hit

bro... you are like the most patient guy i know lol

Navyboy916 01-21-2013 03:31 PM

It does suck waiting but now I can see that the wait is worth it just like you bro in the end u will be so stoked when they get here. Just don't let ups screw you over bro.

simota1 01-23-2013 04:30 AM

i called UPS.... they said that the package is stuck at texas because the label was printed on the 15th... idk what the heck is going on... i pmed baker tuning already but he hasnt replied yet... :( all i care is that they didnt lose my package.... that would suck balls tremendously... i just want all my parts to come in so i can move on to the oil catch cans and strut bar from top secret....

simota1 01-23-2013 03:19 PM

So at this point im a little frustrated with the communication baker tuning, paul has not responded to my pm's.... i understand it was a holiday on monday but its thurday now and nothing?!? :shakes head: ive emailed him directly already to get a faster response.... payment has been sent since the 4th of this month and i think waiting 20days is a bit much already especially coming from texas.... i got my sunline rep spats from texas in 2 days :( does anyone have experience with baker tuning by any chance?

TheGreatOne 01-23-2013 03:24 PM

Arrgg, sucks to hear about the waiting. Its never fun, especially when you know things from a certain area arrive pretty quickly. As long as I get communication I'm usually ok...hope u hear something soon

theDreamer 01-23-2013 03:26 PM

I was at Baker today, saw Paul but he was in street clothes and was only around for a bit, I think it is his day off.

im totally ok with waiting man :D like my top secret EC from daytona racing japan my friend yuki told me 4 weeks.... its only been 2 weeks and he sent me a tracking number i know my EC will be here next week :tup: and as long as there is communication im a happy camper.... when i ordered my mines wing from driveline on here... i waited 3 months.. and they always updated me so i was not freaking out... the only thing i hate is when people leave me in the dark... that absolutely frustrates me.....

Navyboy916 01-27-2013 03:15 PM

That's cool Jon that you get the parts today.

simota1 01-27-2013 05:15 PM

so i got an update but it aint a good one... im making a thread right now to explain my story... im so mad sad... and frustrated..... :(

Navyboy916 01-27-2013 05:19 PM

What happened?

GaleForce 01-27-2013 05:19 PM

Uh oh.

simota1 01-27-2013 06:07 PM

look in the exterior thread man... the box came smashed... and it was packed like crap :(

Navyboy916 01-27-2013 06:13 PM

Jon, was it insured? If so don't throw anything away u need to go to ups. That's terrible bro you need to do something about this

simota1 01-27-2013 06:20 PM

i think its both their faults... ups for handling it like crap but baker for not packing it right.... the masking job was horrible.... :( i already brought it back man to ups... there were three people and they all looked so sad at me because they could really tell that i was so sad....

Navyboy916 01-27-2013 06:22 PM

I had the same issue when I shipped my heads to Cali USPS destroyed my boxes and trust me fragile stickers make them throw it and play catch with your box.

SPOHN 01-27-2013 06:38 PM

Time to whoop some butt

Kingbaby 01-27-2013 07:58 PM

I'm pissed just reading the words...

LMBmikeZ 01-27-2013 10:56 PM
