Just as an FYI, for those who chronically eBay parts. Fairz is in NorCal. I forgot the city to be honest

He told me Sacramento. He emailed me through craigslist for a listing I had for my sport wheels and asked me to ship.

Nothing gave me a red flag, but this is good to know.

Andrew not the only one. I bought an Amuse front from him and asked if it had any cracks, chips, scratches, etc. and he said " just need to be repainted " Total BS. When i got it, the carbon fiber was cracked, bumper was cracked, paint was chipped, and the front bumper was bondo! Shipping was terrible because he just wrapped it in some damn cardboard and he told me that he was "an experience shipper" So that was also a lie. Even after I got it and told him about it, he DIDNT DO SH!T. He even lied about the shipping cost and was like, " yeah it took the whole day " I expected so much better from another member but was wrong. Wasted more money fixing it then buying one BRAND NEW. He even lied about the fitment.

All I have to say. I hate starting things like this but since Andrew actually spoke up, so would I.

You must be selling them for cheap enough to buy and sell, lol

mag_black · 06-04-2014, 10:52 PM

^^ he asked me to if I would ship them for the price I have listed, lol.

edit:
and yes, they're decently priced.

That's not cool.

I installed Andrews bumper two weeks ago at that time it had no damage, most likely it was a combo of a lack of prep work and cheap paint with no adhesion promoter or flex additives in it which lead to insta-crack and flaking the first time it was asked to flex. Sucks because its going to cost more to repaint now because any decent paint shop will know they have to get ALL that crap paint off in order to get to a good base again. On the bright side from the sounds of it they could use a pressure washer to just spray it off haha.

Just bought emblems from him. Ill let you guys know how they turn out.

TonyZ34 · 06-04-2014, 11:57 PM

Emblems, splash guards, etc. are easy things to ship/buy. It seems to only be big body parts that never seems to go right. I`m pretty sure it doesn't even belong to him.

axmea? · 06-05-2014, 12:15 AM

Another unscrupulous seller exposed. He has a chance to redeem himself by comping you to get it properly painted but I highly doubt he'd do it.

FairladyZ10PG · 06-05-2014, 12:32 AM

It appears we have a pathological liar amongst us.

He won't get a dime from me!

TonyZ34 · 06-05-2014, 12:39 AM

Me too! Even though it's been months like DE!

Bryan212 · 06-05-2014, 01:54 AM

I bought a "370z" rear emblem and got the Nissan rear emblem instead. I went on ebay and just bought a new one instead of saying anything about it. And it took over 2 weeks before he even shipped it. He said it was returned for insufficient postage. He only put 1 stamp on it.

Jeezus, I'm glad we all came out of the woodwork.

MarlinZ · 06-05-2014, 03:40 AM

I bought and received a nismo rear from him recently, haven't fully unwrapped/test fitted yet but the half I have unwrapped looks to be just as I Requested, I sent him a piece of a bumper that I had my local body guy spray a color match of my rear quarter panels on it, and from what I can see so far it looks damn near dead on... I can't give a 100% satisfaction yet, but once I fully unwrap and install the bumper I'll letcha guys know... So far though my interactions/transactions thus far have been legit and straight forward. I'll letcha guys know what my final opinion/experience is. So far so good though
