They're fake shop is located in Fort Worth, TX. That should narrow it down for you.

He doesn't have a real shop either. He has become just a drop-shipper. I had the same problem with my c-west. It doesn't fit. I finally talked with the guy and me made up our differences. However, he has yet to come good on his end of the bargain. He also left me negative seller feedback because I left him some. The mods won't change it either or get to the bottom of it after I asked them a few times.

So, I heated up the body kit with a heat gun, all nice and toasty, still no luck. The bumper is just too far off to be fixed. Assuming I don't hear back from evo8.com in the next 5 hours, I'll be calling my CC company.

That's jacked up. I'm glad I never ordered anything from them like I was planning to.

We had a real C-West next to the knockoff crap, and it's a night and day difference. Our body shop charged the customer more for the labor to fix and fit the Extreme bumper than what he paid for it. It's crap. I'd send it back, and if you want a C-West front end, I'd say only get the real deal.

Such true words... all these knock-off kits almost always are a big gamble.

People keep buying them because they are cheap and because someone got it to fit... spend more and get the real deal. It will last and should fit as it's supposed to.

I don't buy anything that isn't from an established company and ask alot of questions before putting my money down.

this serves you right for buying a cheap knock off POS kit. C-West spent thousands on molds and they fit PERFECT. Yea i spent $900 just for a PFRP front bumper, but got what i paid for. I wish these rip off artist would get nailed by the feds for "cloning" other companies parts. Pathetic. But look on the bright side. You got what you paid for and should not be complaining. If you bought a fake Rolex, would you really expect it to operate like a real one??? And yes, the front bumper beam has to be removed.........RRR

Thumbs down

My experience with evo8.com was horrible as well. It took me so long to get my cf hood. They gave me the excuse that the freight truck had gotten in an accident and that the hood wasnt salvagable and they had to send me out another one. I was just thinking OMG just tell me you havent shipped it out yet! Finally came like 2 months later lol. That was horrible. Then on top of that they NEVER and i mean NEVER answer their phone or IM. ridiculous........
