Anyone buy from them before? Looks to have some rare parts available. Got flame suit on if it's a repost.

DONT NOT PURCHASE ANY "MASTERGRADE" FROM KEYCOMPOSITES.

They are selling fake parts as real parts. Mastergrade has informed Ebay and the proper actions are being taken. I've had 2-3 members purchase "mastergrade" parts from them and we very unhappy, when I contacted mastergrade for them they had no idea who "KeyComposites" is.

not all of it. They were trying to sell a "Mastergrade widebody kit" and were using mastergrades website pictures and everything. Someone bough it and fitment was horrible. They found me on the forums and asked for their contact number. Turns out they made a terrible replica of the kit and are pawning it off as authentic mastergrade kits. I would stay away at all costs.

Yeah, you're talking about the S2000 kit, right?

I have a paypal dispute against them right now for the hatch they sold me as mastergrade, which is actually c-wings. It looks beautiful and arrived without a scratch, but I dont like being sold mislabled items. I haven't tried to fit it yet either.

I'll keep you all updated, hopefully paypal hooks me up since the invoice they sent me clearly says its a c-wings product, and so does the sticker on the underside of the hatch.

Nope, the 350z. Good luck with the dispute, Mastergrade has been trying to track them down for weeks.

I understand that they are operating out of a mobile meth lab somewhere in the United States.

BTW, the ebay listing is 100% postive (163, Since Oct 20, 05) How in the f@#$ do they pull that off?

Most people don't know the difference between vacuum bagged vs wet hand laid carbon. Seems Ebay has stopped their "mastergrade" listings, I wouldn't trust this guy.

I wouldn't either, however, the listings I just saw had mastergrade (without a capital M) in the description. The roof overlay said it for sure, and some other stuff, I think the hatch.

Well apparently Julie Zeman is the name behind key composites. Here is her reply as of this morning regarding my Paypal dispute.

No No No, I spend $50,000usd to buy the molds from Mastergrade, call Anthony or whatever his name is and ask him. This IS a mastergrade hatch. I pay that money for all their molds and other things. If you want, I will return it and give you a 100% refund. Is this acceptable to you? Have you even seen the quality when Mastergrade made the production pieces... mine is so much better. Please do your research... see all the complaints on the forums. I spend that money and repair their garbage molds. What else do you want Mastergrade, I have pretty much all of it, do you want the wide body the hoods, the roof cover, etc etc. I'm sorry, its just very upsetting. I try so hard to provide these parts... please understand. If you don't want it its fine, I will take care of you. But, your assumption is wrong. Do you want me to send you a mastergrade sticker. I have the rights to the name but I think no ones cares about that. They have a bad reputation in the past. I fix their molds, and I make better than they do. Have you seen their quality in person? You can't buy from them anymore right, they don't have a phone right. Why, I buy their molds, they're out of business! Please close this dispute. I will take care of you.. but please close the dispute.
Needless to say, I will not be closing the dispute.

Perhaps this is how they keep the 100% rating, by bribing the squeeky wheel that complains.

^ if you actually read their feedback comments, a good number of them are somewhat negative - even though the buyer left + feedback. A bunch of them have also been mutually removed. So I think that your assumption is probably a good one.

Not all of them. They simply took "Mastergrade" out of the title and now its in the sub-title. The Mastergrade name is still in the description as well:

Ah crap, there goes all my customers.


This guy is full of it. Doesn't own the rights to anything besides some fake azz parts they are pawning off as authentic. His/her pieces are not vacuum bagged like Mastergrade.

Spoilsofwar I'd love to get the address from which your fake mastergrade hatch was sent from.

I'll get that for you, Jim. Although it may have been drop shipped. The invoice came from Chaser Aerodynamics, aka http://www.aerokits.net/.

Hey Stan, did you read that mastergrade was closed? Guess you can't get those new parts....or our TS diffuser....

I love how he tells Spoils to "do his research" when this guy has no idea what he's talking about.
