Do not buy from fairz

Hopefulki · 06-04-2014, 03:51 PM

I bought 2 headlights from him, one was in perfect condition, one was missing 2 tabs, so it only has 2 bolt in points. I didn't mention it since I didn't want to make a big deal, but I figure I would add to it.

Did you ask about the condition of the lights?

When I bought my nismo bumper from him I sent him an extra 300 for the diffusor piece that goes underneath and ended up finding one myself. Tried to get the money back and he ultimately was trying to screw me out of that 300 bucks then had to take a loss and he sent me 150.

Edit: not to mention the paint was terrible and I had to take it to a body shop to repaint the grilles correctly and wet sand the whole thing.

Damn.... Soory to hear. Do any of you guys have pics of your damaged items?

I just purchased some rear splash guards and didnt have any issues whatsoever. Quick and easy transaction. Condition of the guards was fine given their used condition as well.

cooltoy · 06-04-2014, 04:43 PM

I think he runs a parts business. Gets them from someone else and then sells them here.

I have not bought anything for him, so can not comment.

He always gets back to me when contacted and is pretty patient. Will rarely budge on price (that is neither bad or good - just a comment).

Hopefulki · 06-04-2014, 04:59 PM

I did, and I was told they were used but in good condition. I did not specifically ask about the tabs, but I should have - my fault there. However, I was concerned about even keeping them in because of only 2 bolt points. They definitely pivot if you touch them.

While I wasn't specific about the bolt on locations, I assumed good condition meant only normal wear and tear, not 3 separate, broken bolt points.

Regardless, I probably wont file a claim because the light works, I just wanted to throw it out there for others.

Live and learn. Kind of sucks, I would have felt a little burnt too.

FairladyZ10PG · 06-04-2014, 06:26 PM

Good info DE! Sorry about your situation though. This is why I stay away from used parts unless it's local.

Jasonle · 06-04-2014, 06:43 PM

Is this the same person selling a nismo spoiler for $800?

Edit: nvm he must of sold it. Nismo wing

COSMO · 06-04-2014, 07:01 PM

Wow I was actually going to purchase a nismo front bumper from him but now I'm glad I didn't... I know he's has a few other things for sale as well on the forum. Thanks for the heads up!!

I would... That's a little BS if the light moves when touching it.

I have a pic of the paint coming off, the cracks are hard to capture with a cell phone though

He does. More than me. He buys them from CL or the forum and touches them up with his shít body shop and resells them. And/or offers this great service to have items painted then shipped... Which we all fall for

As long as further sales are prevented I think fellow forum members will be protected.
