Exclamation DON'T DEAL WITH MR. ZIPPS! SCAMMER proof inside.
Well besides screwing me out of my lights, he's screwed over other people and in turn, been banned from several websites.

One person scammed by Mr. Zipps even made a website http://headlightmaster.thekreator.com/

Man I can't believe I recommended him when I can't do headlights. Sucks to hear. I hope you get the justice you want.

Seriously, those who pay to get their headlights cleared, painted, etc is just being ripped off. If you can take off your front bumper to access the headlight, you're half way there. Do it YOURSELF!

Sorry to hear.

I read your other thread concerning your headlights and his "vacation".

Glad you made others aware of your situation and the conclusion.

I was THIS close to sending my lights to him. They went to Lightwerkz instead. Man am I glad.

To the OP. I really thought this was just lazyness on Mr Zipps part. Sorry it came to this.

Ugh...
Those seem to be from the same guy mostly, and in the end he did get his parts back, so maybe there is hope...

we've been talking about your headlights for a while and you were really excited to get them done and its pathetic that a scammer(proven in other forums) ruined that excitement for you. I hope you destroy him and get your headlights back

Yea they do look like they are from the same guy. What is his response? Maybe he is on another long vacation and broke something on your headlights and decided that he didnt want to fix it nor give them back and have you tell people he broke something in his process. Who knows...
