Word, i just ordered my first parts from Jim at the end of last month. He said my hood is on back order and would take about 3 - 4 weeks. I called his shop in 2 weeks of the order to check on it and they said it'll be at my house the next day. Only issue i had was with the shipping company not calling me like they should have. I just recieved my hood taday and it is BEAUTIFUL! i will do buisness again with this guy! I was really worried about recieving it damaged cause of the OP's story and other stories i've heard about carbon fiber but my hood looks amazing! I will deffinetly be ordering my other carbon fiber parts from this guy!

It is sooooo much easier to deal with these situations before they get out of hand than it is to try and come back later and make things better. Even if the OP gets the product he ordered it will not erase the hard feels from dealing with this transaction.

I have an idea, go away and sell your Z then by a Civic and you'll never need to wait for parts again.
Myself I will purchasing a carbon kit and hood from Jim in the near future because even though all the cry babies like yourself try and take him down for BS reasons he still makes sure that it is reasonably worked out. Can't wait for you to kill my parents Jim
Oh yeah P.S. screw you for having a life and not waiting on the refresh button 24/7 to see if you go a new PM

I do not.. as per Jim whenever he tries to blame "the other guy" for his short comings, is poor business, and again if he can not handle the crap he's selling then he better stay in school and graduate pronto, but this is no way to run a business.
You should really take a step back and re-think your comment about pointing blame. Most distributors like Jim save money by having items drop shipped from the manufacturer instead of paying to stock items. I don't see any blame pointing but a means of getting your dispute handled in a more timely fashion. My parents always told growing up that life isn't always fair and this is one of those times. You should be so lucky to have purchased through Jim and to be getting the help you are. Guaranteed any other of those cheap online shops would have told you to get bent by now.

I'm a big boy and can take a blast.

One part and I think only part on any business is customer satisfaction and COMMUNICATION, which is lacking a lot with this vendor, I do not have to call asuka since the transaction was done though Jim@showstoppers.com not Asuka.com if there is such a site, so Jim is my primary contact, end of story.
