    Default Do NOT Buy body kits from this seller!

    Just letting all of you know not to buy any body kits from this guy on ebay:

    eBay My World - street-commodore

    VERY dodgy mold and have had to spend more $$$ to get it fixed. Kit cracked twice when trying to be fitted. (NOTE: Had this installed by qualified panel beaters, so not a home job). On top of this... we've sent countless emails asking for explanations to the kits defects and have had NO response whatsoever.

    Just though I would warn you all.

    Did you pay via Paypal ?? then open a dispute. Also leave negative feedback.

    I think we did pay via pay pal. Unfortunately, it was through my dads account and due to a relatively decent delivery time, he gave positive feed back. Completely regrets it now. We should be filling a complaint soon as we've given the seller yet another 24hrs to provide an explanation or at least reply before we take action. Just so disappointed as I've ended up having to spend more than anticipated to get the kit looking semi decent.

    You can open a dispute with paypal saying that it was not as described or poor quality etc.

    I personally think that the vy and vz kits on vr-vs look ugly.
    Get the vs clubsport kit.
    plus the cost of them from ssv is fairly reasonable.

    same seller
    a customer bought this to me to fit up

    some of the dodgest work ive seen in fibreglass kits
    and ive seen a fair few dodgy ones
    side skirt i couldnt even get to fit,

    here is the rear bar and how it fitted



    what else would you expect for $600 dollars, a full kit, it has to be dodgy at that price

    that is pretty shocking that they could send out a bumper like that! Ive had side skirts that have been twisted etc before but never had any i couldnt fit, they must of been real bad if you couldnt fit them.
    Did you take any pics of them..???

    Yeap buy original & the best.. Fibreglass only as good as the mould.. If the mould is crap, well every job that's get pulled from it will also be crap.

    hey if you look at his feedback before you purchase he has a few negatives in there. sorry to here about your dodgy kit bro that is shocking.

    here are some examples:

    bumper so thin you can see through it in places...gonna cost $300 xtra to fix

    the body kit was bent and out of shape looks crap on the car

    not happy wit front bumper dont fit very good needs alot of work to fit on

    unresponsive to questions about why the product he sold me wont fit car

    the body kits is shit and you dont want to reply and now i have your adress

    lol... and thats only up to page 3 on his feedbacks. oviously this guys is dodgy and advise everyone not to buy anything of him.

    that there would be a massive red flag to me if i was thinking about buying off him.

    always check the feedback the seller is getting before you purchase.
