ok...here is my story...
about a month ago...
I ordered veilside gt d1 kits from mvpmotorsports.com
However They didn't have them in stock.
They said it's not in usa, and it will come in around the beginning of october
I checked with other dealers(intensepower.com and others..) too,
and I found out that it won't be here by late october..
so I canceled and I hardly found another dealer who had the kits in his stock!
I ordered the kits from redlineautosalon.com.
and It has arrived today.
However!!!
body shop said it's in a bad shape and it will be a tough job!
Every store I visited said they won't have this bodykits in USA by late october..
but only this store(redlineautosalon.com) had them in stock.
How do you guys think?
What I'm worrying about is how I can distinguish a genuine product from replicas??
and
How can I know if the body shop just wants more money or not?

Thank you for taking your time to read this.
I will really appreciate your replies.

You Need To Contact Veilside Directly

snap-on

I'm really glad you took that one..

I didn't even know what he was talking about.


:o

Veilside is high quality stuff, if its in bad shape and not from shipping the company probably sold you a knock off. You should have just ordered it with a reputable company (haven't heard anything abotu redlineautosalon before so I don't know if they have a good or bad reputation) and waited for it. Find out what material the veilside kit is made out of then have the body shops opinions about what the kit you have is made of and the quality of the work. If its not a real veilside kit and you paid for a real veilside kit call up the company and return it and order it with another company. If they give you problems (restocking fee etc.) call up the better business bureau or something.

If you think the body shop might be scamming you, check with other RX8 drivers around your area if any know of a reputable shop you can trust and get a second opinion.

I'm sorry about my poor English.
and Thanks for the response.
I have another question...
Do genuine veilside body kits have pre-drilled holes?
I heard that replicas don't have pre drilled holes...

irish8

Ah? If the feedback you getting from professional body shops is all negative concerning this kit. It's a no brainer. Return it and exercise some patience. Wait until the real deal arrives and pony up the extra cash. Don't live with something you're not happy with.

samoh

ah... one more thing..
I paid $1599 for the full bodykit...
replicas can't be that expensive..right?

Rupes

They can be that expensive if they are trying to scam you in some way. Which it sounds like they might be.

Are you able to return the product? It sounds like that might be a good place to start.

I'm not sure this kit is replica or not..
Thats's why I need to know how to distinguish a genuine product from replicas..

TORacing

It could be real it could be fake, post pics, I recieved mine back in May straight from Veilside, they are currently backorderd and the next shipment isn't due till later this month, but some left overs are floating around. Yes Veilside pre-drills this caused the first delays in May when the arrived in the US w/o the holes. But the kit has been released so it could swing either way. The price is close to what I paid but not close to the new prices since the demand for this kit has sky rocketed!

samoh

Thank you so much Horse...
I hope mine is the one of left overs..

samoh

ok, I saw the kits and it was in real bad shape!!!
here is the list...

1. no predrilled holes
2. parts do not fit without major work
3. surfaces have many imperfections(holes, scratchs, cracks)
4. brackets need to be fabricated to install properly
5. no hardware or instructions included

est: $800~1200 : install + smooth out
$650: paint

there are veilside labels on body kits...however qualities are so poor...
are they replicas?
isn't it illegal to have veilside labels on?

samoh

I just checked the kits few hours ago...I was shocked
Kits were in real bad shape..

how do you guys think??
I don't think I got real veilside bodykits...

www.redlineautosalon.com

It's illegal for them to sell you a product that is not what was advertised. Veilside would be interested in a company that is doing that. Call Veilside and see what they have to say about this company. They may even go after them for copyright infringement if it isn't their product.

Kel Rx8

i feel like its a fake kit.
get ure money back quickly

zoom44

read that again ^

zoom44

actually - you know what? just return it. you can return it, correct?

93rdcurrent

haha! I was just reiterating what you said with a little further info. You're right he needs to contact them and nothing else will help him at this point.

samoh

yea..but I have to pay some money to return it..
well... I guess you guys are right..

BlueEyes

That's bs man. They can't sell you a product of such shitty quality without telling you that. If it is not in a reasonable condition, and they won't let you return it without paying shipping or restock fees, you call them and let them know you will be talking to the Better Business Bearau and your lawyer.

Mikelikes2drive

go complain! accuse them of selling you a fake kit. maybe get some money back? make them pay for installment. Good luck dude

shorty911

if you used a credit card you can call and get them to withdrawl the money fairly easily or get you lawyer to do it for you

samoh please try to only post one thread on the same topic. i merged your other with this one. thanks. now go get your money back.

I never said it was authentic Veilside. I apologize for the
misunderstanding.

Holes are not predrilled because many people find it easier to drill
their own holes for a better fitment. 800-1200 for an install and prep work
is normal. 650+ is a normal amount for a decent paint job on a body kit. You
should have been aware of these costs before ordering.

Please view our terms and conditions page.
http://www.redlineautosalon.com/body-kits-terms.htm

Please make sure the shop you are having install the kit has an
extensive body kit installation background before you let them work on your
kit.

Have a nice day,
