Default Do not buy from showstoppersusa

Hello fellow Z enthusiasts. I'm posting today to warn everyone to STAY CLEAR of ShowstoppersUSA. I have been waiting nearly 2 years for Seibon 10mm fenders I ordered through Chuck at ShowstoppersUSA. I have since moved on to a new project vehicle, my Z. To this day I'm still getting the run around from Chuck, that is when he decides to not screen my calls.

I ordered a set of Sti 10mm wider fenders back in 2007, they arrived nearly 4 weeks later with damage, and were denied at the time of delivery. I was told I needed to wait for the carriers claim to go through, which was OK. So fast forward to early 2008, I get an e-mail from the carrier stating they concluded the claim and issued a refund to ShowstoppersUSA. I have YET to see a dime of my money back or a replacement set of fenders....this was nearly 2 years ago ! Everytime I ask for a refund or my new parts they act as if they have no idea what I'm talking about !


So be warned 350z members, STAY CLEAR OF SHOWSTOPPERSUSA THEY ARE A BUNCH OF LIARS AND THIEVES !

Did you think of telling them you wanted your money back after, say, 6 months?

Oh believe me, I have been asking for my money back long before the carrier even mentioned Showstoppers was refunded. I couldn't tell you how many empty promises I was given before they decided to just ignore my calls.

I would have filed a chargeback a year ago, but my credit card was stolen 3-4 months after the transacation, leaving me SOL.

why would your credit card being prevent you from being able to issue a chargeback? DId you close your credit card account when it was stolen?

Normally they just cancel the credit card and issue you a new one....
