YES, they are sponsors here.

in all honesty I doubt they would be dropped as sponsors as long as they are willing to pay $$$. This site is nothing more than a business.

If you are really bored, you can read the 52 page vendor review on Nasioc, where they are no longer a sponsor: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=337726

As a former Subaru owner, and still active member on Nasioc, I was amazed to find they were a my350z sponsor when registering here. Their reputation for poor customer service and practices is well known throughout the automotive community.

sorry to hear about this man. i really blows when people make mistakes and can't admit to them. then try to rip you off in the process.

i just threw a huge chunk of change to Intense Motorsports and it was one of the best experiences i ever had. ordered body kit pieces and a bunch of other goodies and everything arrived in perfect condition. as a matter of fact the body shop was so impressed by how good of condition the body kit arrived in.

so when ordering in the future Intense Motorsports will be at the top of my list. no doubt. and based on your complaint Vivid won't even cross my mind.

Wow I almost bought from Vivid too. I ended up going with Hop-up racing. They are good guys over there.

Thing is Vivid rarely has anything in stock when they say they do. They always source it from a different vendor or distributor. I bought a set of Advan RGII's and I originally went to Vivid who said they had them in stock. They didn't, they were sitting in Mackin's warehouse. I called Hop-up and got the same exact wheels Vivid said they had in stock at a cheaper cost through Hop-Up.
