Alliance Carbon.
 
I should have searched reviews etc before i ordered a set of carbon fiber door handle covers from alliance Carbon. They don't fit correctly... And now the owner is trying to say it's user error and going about it the wrong way. Take it to an auto body shop if you don't feel comfortable installing. It's a sticker for Christ's sake... Not an engine! I just want to send them back but he keeps trying to tell me it's my fault and i have to fully install them for them to fit. I can tell the door handle part doesn't clear the rest of the piece... It rubs and will eventually break or rub all the finish off. He says it's supposed to be oversized. What is with these sellers? Are they kids with attitudes? I give up!

What method of payment did you use? Maybe try that route instead of dealing with an uncooperative seller.

I've already got a return slip from him .. But the fact that he can't take constructive criticism and wants to put blame on the buyer is **** service. He even sent a warped piece. How does that even get by?

See EVO-R. That's basically his motto. And he's been around for years.

Most likely they were dropped shipped from the factory in china, so he never even saw them

If they were ever in his hands state side he ceetainly wasnt checking fitment before shipment

Going based off of the most recent reviews of Alliance products from the Facebook groups, his parts pretty much trash minus a few here and there. He's basically just the new coming of Fly1, which isn't surprising since all of these companies offer the same parts with a slight deviation (looking at those vented fenders and carbon fiber steering wheels). Alliance most likely purchased in bulk for $200 or so a set from Alibaba, got some random clout-chasing Youtuber with a decent following to say some nice words for a free set, then marked up the price 600+% and the masses eat it up. Rinse, repeat, success.

Man, IF it is not OE or JDM, i'm not putting it on my car when it comes to body parts.

OK, Shine auto makes good stuff, but that's about it.

its being peddled by the sellout DannyZ

OptionZero 05-13-2022 01:38 PM

Maybe it’s uncouth to say but…I hate his car. It’s such a mishmash of “stuff”

Anyways he isn’t the only one:

i liked watching his content but since his recent mcdonalds colour scheme, picking the worlds ugliest bumper, and selling out to **** sponsors. Had to unfollow.

OptionZero 05-13-2022 05:49 PM

At first he seemed to be throwing on random cheap **** with no real plan now hes adding free stuff that also doesnt go together

Its a car build neither for performance nor for any particular aesthetic for show either

To me its just a list of parts rolling around

I’m sure hes a nice enough guy tho, just…ugh, pains me to see he’s one of highest engagement Z guys on youtube, if not the highest

Meanwhile Michael Gardner is literally doing God’s work for the 350Z drivers:

FYI
If u wanna go down a rabbit hole…

DannyZ’s wheels are from “Corsa Forged” which advertises itself as “Aerospace Grade” aluminum wheels

Having seen so many of these “custom” wheel companies pop up over the years, i googled Corsa Forged

They incorporated in 2021 under agent “Adam Buzassy”

Google that guy and you find he’s…another florida kid shilling youtube videos about his Z:

https://youtube.com/c/boocoky

You will find intelligent and insightful videos, like how to make your Z shoot flames to piss off your neighbors

Also, he’s a florida real estate agent

I’m sure danny’s wheels are of the highest quality for the $4k price that they are listed for


There’s gotta be one machine shop in nowhere selling itself to all these randomass labels claiming to be the next hot forged wheel maker

NorthStyle 05-13-2022 06:44 PM

Funny thing is: the Corsa Forged are [overpriced] reps of the Precision Forged 2-pc Nismo "homage" wheels. IIRC, the guy who founded PF came on here (or might've been Facebook) asking if anyone did a multipiece version of the wheel before eventually doing it himself.

OptionZero 05-13-2022 07:28 PM

U imagine “adam” owns no actual manufacturing or design equipment at all. He owns a brand name and contracts everything out

Just like how nearly every coilover cones from the same factory
