Default Chargespeed rep bumper, what would you do??

Someone was selling a VIS/Chargespeed rep bumper in the "for sale" section, I posted that I wanted to know the shipping fees and the bumper was sold to someone else (no big deal). The next day I got this PM, I wont post the users name because it might be legit. What would you do??
hey Randy.. still interested in some aero kits? I got some laying around if interested.. chargespeed ... nismo v2 etc.. can put it together for ya!

I PMed this back:
I am looking for a chargespeed or chargespeed (VIS) rep rear bumper, got any?? Price?? Thanks, Randy

Today I got this back:

Randy...chargespeed rep is no problem at all. I have a guy here that makes very nice ones..

full frp $225
carbon rear lower centerpiece $395


shipping is $165 to a business address. extra for residential.

there is no extra charge to put another bumper in the same box.. or side skirt(s) etc.. so maybe you can split shipping with someone locally. ...*just an idea to save you $$$*


parts brand new in original bag unpainted.

I PMed him back and told him that a rep bumper made by "a guy here" makes me nervous and does he have any my350Z.com members with this bumper on their Z, pics would help.
I did not get a reply yet but I only sent my PM a little while ago do no big deal. This member has 8 feedbacks and all are good. I really want a Chargespeed rear bumper and if I could save money that would be great. What should I do? What would you do??? No smart *** answers please. Thanks

I understand that but what about crappie fitment or made bad. If I buy it, I am stuck with it. If it was a piece of crap I wouldnt resell it to anyone else to get my money back.

Then I would trust my instinct and stay away.

(MAYBE he resells dtm/autoinfantry parts)

Sounds like someone trying to resell VIS parts or getting rid of old VIS reseller inventory.

It's probably a good replica, but it's still kinda shady.

Make sure to pay with a credit card only. If your paying with paypal, make sure you pay with a credit card through paypal. Paypal won't cover you at all.

If he's asking for any other form of payment, stay away.

If your going VIS you should just order from Extreme Dimensions or DTM. Im sure they charge a lot less for shipping which it might come up the same cost? i would double check with them. I know our sponsor from extreme dimensions gives you a lower price than what they have on their site.

I don't know anyone I've ever sent money via paypal and I doubt most others do either. Had 2 problems in over 1000 transactions.
