As for the rest of you interested in this-especially those not in the state of CA, unless he's giving you a HUGE discount I would save yourself heartache and order it directly if you really want it. I will tell you this much based on past feedback from ViS products, fitment will be hit or miss and most probably require additional work by your bodyshop. And they even tell you this on their own website, "...Modification of part is required to ensure proper fitment. Test fit all body kit parts before any modification or painting..."

He's not involved in any of the process. You pay him & give him your shipping info, he then keeps a portion of the payment (his profit) and pays ViS with the rest and gives them your shipping info and ViS most probably drop ships it from their own location.

My only other question is: As a middleman what benefits do you provide the customer?
Thanks for all the useful info sir!

kinda pricey for a fiberglass kit.

Im sorry, doesnt just about every company that sells aftermarket products sell other manufacturers products for a profit? hmmmmm this must be a huge secret... Or is everyone purchasing directly from the manufacturers

Oh yeah, and everyone keeps every product on stock at all times and doesnt drop ship from the manufacturer? This is common practice, right?

Strafe is a legitimate company. End of story. We have all proper licensing, website, etc. SOME items we drop ship, some items we ship ourselves. On some occasions we personally deliver or meet up with the customer for the transaction. We try to do what we can to make the transaction pleasant for the customer.

Bottom line... we give the customer the product they want at a price they cant get better elsewhere, in a timely fashion. What else do you really want from a company? Please tell me, so I can be a better "MIDDLEMAN"..

My only other question is: As a middleman what benefits do you provide the customer?
a better price than the manufacturer will ever give you.

FYI: VIS will not sell you this kit. We are the exclusive vendor of this product. And we are not selling the kit at their price.... try $200 less...

if that isnt a benefit of going through a "MIDDLEMAN", then I dont know what is.

After all, with a join date of November 2010 and an iTrader of 1, who am I to question your integrity as a vendor. I mean its quite obvious your reputation precedes you.

But anyway, as a perspective buyer I do have a few questions for you:
  • How long have you been "in business"?
  • Are you and your employees under or over the age of 30?
  • Do you have a company website?
  • Do you have company email accounts (aside from gmail)?
  • Who will be manufacturing this kit? Is it ViS Racing?
  • Do you test fit each manufactured piece for quality?
  • Do you own a store or warehouse where you stock inventory?
  • Will you be keeping a certain number of these in stock?
  • How much will this kit be?
  • Where will these products be shipped from?
  • Is your "company" responsible for boxing and shipping or will the manufacturer do this?
  • For items "in stock" whats your time frame time from receipt of payment to shipment?

Thank you in advance, for your professional responses.
It is clear you want to put us on Blast..We can go head to head all day..
It is clear you know nothing about the business.
Here is my answers to your concerns
Strafe is a bodykit and parts sales company
Strafe gets deals from companies just like the others on here and sells them to you
Drop shipping or direct shipping is up to Strafe
Vis,AIT,Extreme dimesions, Chargespeed,Seibon and the list goes on makes the products we sell
VIS makes exclusive Products for Us and even if listed on their site we are exclusive dealers for certain items just like we do for G35
www.strafeautomotive.com our store is being built at this time
been in business 1 yr
Lawrence is 47
plenty of email sales@strafeautomotive.com
lawrence@strafeautomotive.com
shipping is up to us
tracking numbers provided
credit card and merchant card authorized
business permit city of carson
fed tax id
BOE tax ID
we don't need to store a single item you pay we buy from whichever company we ship easy process

So there are your answers plain and simple. I suggest you research Our business on g35driver and you will get your answers also. We have 1 itrader here as we just started back on 350z. I hope you are well and if you continue to harass up the mods will take care of this. We are done with you and this nonsense.

I started Strafe a yr ago with Dustin and my discounts pass to you. This is a no brainer . How do you think the other vendors on here sell products to you? The same way...

One thing you don't know is. I have a good relationship with various companies. We test fit sometimes for them and other times we do not. Mike has this first kit and he test fitted on his car. Then he bought that kit from Strafe.FYI search this on driver..http://g35driver.com/forums/exterior...-kit-sale.html Lawrence's car is on here. His personal screen name is firedawg63nla https://my350z.com/forum/g35-g37/498...h-rebuild.html See we have nothing to hide

No company test fits every kit sold nor do they test every spark plug, oil can, tires,wheels etc the list goes on.


All aftermarket companies have a disclaimer about fitment. Not just VIS Racing. INGS,Chargespeed,AIT included. That is a fact of life with aftermarket parts.

It seems that asking questions and doing research is harassment to you...

I will ask my questions in the forum for everyone to see, as I have no reason to be clandestine, and it may put things into perspective for other members as well.

Thank you for the quick responses. However, as a member of this forum and potential consumer of products, and furthermore-being that this is not your personal sales thread (as they belong in the appropriate forum), I reserve the right to be skeptical and will read between the lines.

I will also check with ViS as to whether or not they will sell me an AMS-GT-Full-Kit from their website being that they are advertising it with a price as well as watermarking the entire kit with their logo.

I was in here yesterday.
I have a printing business so my work load gets intense at this time with cards, calendars, clubs and resturant party fliers for the xmas and new year events on top of holding the family and friends xmas party at my house this year so been on the road getting last minute stuff.
Just got back into work.

I'm not affiliated with any vendor on here by the way.
Just a guy that lives in the Cayman Islands that wants a quality kit that has the look I want.

If I could request fitted picks of the rear and sides (without huge obtrusive watermark) & better pics of the front as well.
Also interested in cianci's rear bumper that is due to come out in Feb or March.

Like others here I have been given the runaround by vendors, so I am a little more cautious now a days.
My car is awaiting the kit from whoever.

From a consumer standpoint your tone with the "customer" who is your bread and butter when it comes to sales. Is to say the least, unprofessional. If you have a chip on your shoulder about being questioned over something that happened with AI. Then by all means address it. There's a fine line between being defensive when it comes to a subject as a vendor, and being assertive towards a customer. I speak from experience in leaps and bounds when it comes to customer service. Change your tone, your selling me something, I'm not selling you anything. Common courtesy goes a long way sir. Best of luck on your business.

On the thread topic I love this bumper on the 370z I can't wait to see it on a 350z

i think strafe was fine in what they said.. to accuse them of being affiliated with AI when they have such a good rep is ridiculous. this forum is very quick to conclusions.

either way, look forward to the strafe kit on a car!

a bunch of people on this site.. LOVE to cause drama and try to bring vendors down... whats even funnier is that NONE of them have even dealt with that vendor before or are even interested in any of their products... but yet they still give them ****.... why? unclear.. guess nothing better to do?

I agree with your statement. I just think its not professional for a vendor to argue with someone in a thread. They are representing not only their product, but also the integrity of their business. I would at least take it to PM's instead of arguing in a thread where everyone is drooling, myself included, to see what that BUMPER LOOKS LIKE MOUNTED!!!!!!!!
