anyone order parts from vivid racing ?

Is there anyone order anything from vivid racing ? I just order a borla from them through ebay. after 5 days there is no one bidding on it. We got the deal and paid them 2 days later, they email us said borla not available for another 8 weeks at least. Do you think this is right ?

I don't think that is very good business at all. Get your $$ back and leave them bad feedback

That's a horrible way to run a business. I say kindly ask for your money back and shop elsewhere. Nothing against Vivid, maybe it was a fluke thing but you shouldn't have to wait that long for an item that they were selling you.

Sorry to hear the news...good luck

I'm having my issues with them right now. I ordered Kyokugen lug nuts 2 months ago from them, first they made me wait weeks for them, then when I finally told them to send even open ended lug nuts, they sent me the wrong type, & then took a long time to pick them back up from me. it's been 2 months & they still haven't credited back my account.

I got a set of rotors and brake pads from Vivid without any trouble at all. Even the price was quite reasonable. All I can tell you about ordering on-line, in general, is that you should take your time, look around, and price is not the only thing upon which you should base your decision. When I shop it is not uncommon to take 30-60 days of looking around before I finally place an order. Contact Mike Huffman at Vivid. I am sure he will do all he can to make you happy. BTW, I bought my Borla from the RX8Store.com and Jason Baughman made sure everything was cool. Paid $600+/- for it and that was over a year ago.

Good luck.
