His clientele is really all upperclass/higher end cars. He does this as a hobby but i told him you have to control your flow and be realistic with your time frame with your stuff. He knows but he chooses not to respond. He will respond when the time is right.

Jamaica has been holding on to VIP's ***** for months. Not surprising.
VIP has gone way beyond "dropping the ball" for these guys. I ordered a body kit from him about six months ago and got it in a decent time frame undamaged, thank god.
Had I known about all this I would have just ordered from Shine to begin with and called it a day.
