Vivid?

I don't think I would buy car parts from them. But they make some really nice video's. After many, many, many hours of watching them, I highly recommend their videos Oh....that is a different company.

yeah, the models in Vivid's videos will do just about anything to get your attention. In fact, I really had a hard time finding the cars they were advertizing...

Since Vivid is not responding, I would declare them guilty until proven innocent.

...just deleted them from my consideration set.

Ec2k1gt i am really sorry to hear about all the mess they got you in. I hope everything works out. But why didn't you just order the kit from Intense?

Big ups to Intense. Great guys to deal with..

I can't believe you thought they would respond. Take my word for it. You wont be hearing anything from them until it's time to run a GB or they have more junk to sell to us.

I'll have to take this into consideration ViVid. To bad, I'm sure the $300 bucks is not going to be more than all the lost business from the members here.

Yep.

Actually, I have to contact them today as well regarding the Greddy sides I bought from them. They showed up without any protective wrapping....just sitting in the box. Needless to say, bodyshop charged me $200+ to fully repair the two long cracks one of them had. I checked the box upon delivery and since there was no protective packaging, FedEx delivery guy told me I was out of luck as far as FedEx is concerned; it was shipper's fault. I agree.

Of course, we have to give them the benefit of the doubt unless they don't offer a good reason why they are treating their customers this way.

If they don't respond at all or have no good excuses maybe we non-sponsers can give my350z.com a break and chip in and pay Vivids sponser fees.

It would be a shame for one of our members that didn't happen to see this thread to be ripped off by them, again.

Wow........major dollars lost for Vivid just in this thread alone. I always considered them but never ordered from them. Now I never will.

This just boggles the mind that a company would not make amends for a measely $350+ ... do they not realize that this is costing them thousands in negative advertisement. Even if they eventually make things right, who wants to go through some bullsh!t hassle just to get what they paid for?

Unless everyone in this forum has the short term memory of a goldfish ... it's going to be hard not to equate vivid with um ... shiite
