True, but sponsors keep this site free for the rest of us. Would you rather pay a membership fee to use this site? The info is good, but not so much that I'd pay to read it.

So it doesn't hurt anyone to make a sponsor your first look, especially given that most products for our cars are pretty similar across the board. And in this case with this header company, it is a good cautionary tale at why you should stick with our proven companies, not some numb-nut word-of-mouth ebay start-up.

Oh I understand that perfectly. But the truth is, when you have an active board, companies kill to get their name on it. Hence the reason for the new "ebay" listing ads. Ebay likely made an offer that IB couldn't resist. This website is a money GENERATING place. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?

I definitely want to know this too. I ordered from Justin 2 months ago and.... haven't seen ****. Have talked to him randomly here & there, stupid **** was starting to happen but I always thought he'd make it right but it's been 3 weeks since I talked to him last. No big deal, I only gave him $700

Damn 700. Well I paid $630, received headers after threatening legal action, and now out $380. Justin basically stole money from us.

This guy is just so sketchy. Everything I have read about him adds up. Stumbled across his website. Of course it lists a fake number..

I know its taken people longer than what I've waited to get their goods but I'm gonna have to dispute this. Does anyone know for sure if he has closed the doors?

Does no one live near him/his shop? It would be interesting to have someone go there personally and speak with him.

Just for curiosity, how much does the sponsorship cost per year?

I understand that the owners are out to make a dollar, but at some point, the needs and what's good for the community must be taken into consideration. If a small mom and pop shop has something innovative to offer, but yet can not afford the fees, then then owners may need to reevaluate some things for the good of the community. --Just say'n

The sponsors ARE the community, geez man.

Seems to me, that if I was part of a group that's been screwed out of anywhere from $300-700 bucks. I'd be forming a lynch mob, and heading to Texas.

Where's the pitch forks and torches???

I'd drive up to longview, but don't know if the address is legit. There has to be someone around his area that can go by. Found this searching his cell number.

Seems like Justin needs money. Don't know why, since he's stole plenty.

That happened, and people kept buying his ****; why, I don't know, because they were the exact same cheap headers you could get from other sellers on ebay.

Buying the cheapest aftermarket part possible doesn't lend itself to happy wrenching.

Yeah, I posted numerous warnings and complaints in the previous threads that sprouted after he kept feeding me lines back in late May, early june and through July. He even had the gall to come on the board to defend his business when I posted a long complaint detailing the issue.
