Not sure where the post went about people here complaining yet still ordering **** from you but I can assume that was directed at me, do to the recent item you shipped to my place.
That item was ordered by another member who ordered from you and had it shipped to me for safe keeping until he gets back from the sand. I would never order anything from Race Roots.

I Think he is talking about the comment about people bad mouthing me and still ordering from me. I wasn't referring to him there are plenty of others.

Still not fixed. I have talked to Brice a few times via email and even suggested that we go half and half on a paint job out here that way we didn't have to ship it and risk breaking it. His painter would not do that. I belive Brice when he said he went to bat for me, but his painter still believes that it is my fault. He has offered to repaint it if I send it back, but I can't be with out a bumper for that long and seeing as how every tiime its been shipped its been damaged i'm not really interested in that idea.
Guess I gotta start saving for a new paint job. Anyone wanna send me Christmas money for a new paint job?

Sucks dude, sorry to hear you got screwed but I can't say that I am surprised. But if you are ever in SA I can hook you up with a good paint guy. I will have an extra bumper available in a few days if you need it. It has a gash in it but is totally functional if you need to run it temporarily and I will just be trashing it anyway.

I'll pitch in a $50. Also Mike if you want to ship the bumper you could actually borrow my entire car for a bit. I have my truck and motorcycle to use in the mean time.

Team RX8 and monstermatt, thanks guys, I really appreciate your support. I'm not sure how I would even accept donations to the "fix my bumper fund". If anyone has a good suggestion let me know...
Matt, I might need you car when I do get this painted if that's okay with you, also you tool skills to help me take off the bumper (again). Let's meet up sometime and not talk about my bumper though... What you doin Sunday or Monday?

The lack of response to my prior post only proves that people are only fixated on bitching and complaining about their personal vendetta against Brice and could really care less about forum members like Mikey. Only a dumbass would think that the way to run a successful business is to give away the farm. If running a business is so easy let's see you try. Talk is cheap and all of you bastages are cheaper still

I have helped out many of our local members with my time, garage space, tools, parts, etc. I am happy to be able to help out when I can, especially the younger guys with limited means. I have no interest in giving money to someone I don't know though.
And yes, running a business is tough, but it doesn't excuse poor business ethics. I have three offices and a staff of over 30 so I have had to kiss *** and make up for screw ups many, many times. But when I don't feel like making amends to an unhappy customer I always remind myself that one unhappy customer will cost you twenty new ones.

so all this talk and still noone cares to see something actually done about it.
teamrx8- fancy words and acting better than everyone else on here. cool!
9krpm- i know exactly what you mean, but what good is all the "good simaritan-ism" when you have people like brice to ruin it for you in the end anyway?
brice- good luck to you. no, really, i mean it

Nothing can really be done by anyone other than the parties directly involved. All the rest of us can do is promote awareness and try and help the new guys to be aware of what can happen. If someone does inquire and research and still feels comfortable buying then that is on them. I recently read some things about a rotary engine rebuilder on another forum that definitley changed my opinion of him since I always heard great things about him. Threads like this do serve a purpose.

I just want to add my input, I have spend many multiple thousands on parts from Brice. In fact, just adding it up in my head startles me how much. This includes making sure I got genuine parts (and very expensive) from a manufacturer that is fraught with competing counterfiters, very quickly giving me a good deal on a used motor (a deal on which he gave me free freight and set up the ship) the parts of which I desperately needed for a build, and several other standard orders that I cant really recall right now. On every deal, I received stuff quickly and felt I was treated fairly.
I look forward to buying from Brice again.

I have no personal vendetta against Brice. I never have nor ever will be a customer of Race Roots or Brice. What I am against is the willful deceit that Brice practices. And making yourself out to be this holier than thou internet tough guy is actually pretty amusing. I only stir this pot every so often if nothing else than to get a rise out of you, so thank you for proving yourself to be the official asshat of the rx8club.... wear it proud, you earned it.

Au contraire Monsieur Hypocrite. Seeing the asshat someone else wears is always easier than seeing your own. The difference is I admit and wear my asshat proudly for all to see while as you so aptly demonstrated in this statement of ironic truthfulness that the holier than thou attitude is solely your own ...

Rx8club members are all little girls. Bitch about everything, no wonder there is no new vendors on here. You guys need to mellow out, **** happens everyone is human no need to cry over a small order being late.
