Pare, subukan mo Bonehead Performance sa susunod. They call you as soon as they receive your item/s and take time to talk to you on what kind of work you want to be done. They will coat anything from the block to the smallest bolt. Great work and reasonable price. I have pieces coated by Tirado and Bonehead...kitang-kita ang deperensya

Does anyone have a reliable way to contact these guys? Communication was great until the parts were supposedly "done" a couple weeks ago, then he drops off the face of the earth.

He has had two o2 downpipes to coat in his possession since the 17th of Sept. He claimed one week MAX and even called about 2 weeks ago saying they were DONE and he'd call in a few hours with the shipping total.

I've emailed several times, called, used their website contact form. I just want my parts back, done or not.

Call their local law enforcement. That should light a fire under their ***. I saw posts where he said he is going away from doing work and only taking on local stuff.

He cannot just hold your parts/money though.

Thank you. I have recently filed a BBB complaint and I have told him I will call the police. If I do not hear back soon I will call the local PD.

These are DN precat eliminators for a 3000GT that are completely out of production. When they were available they were $500, so I'd rather have them back incomplete than lose them.

Thanks again

Thanks man. Guess I have to do that... why the fun would he take online orders if he is only doing local? But the flip side is I went on his Facebook. Blasted him massages there. And nothing. Yet some guy in Oregon thanked him for a great work done on his headers... so I think he either lost my calipers and can't man up. Or he's the shaddiest person to do business... this is such a headache.
Well thanks guys...

I have seen this a few times. Usually what I see is a small company blow up so fast they cant keep up resulting in a major ball drop.

I had a local guy who built some bad *** heads. Between his shop growing leaps and bounds what seemed like over night, few bad decisions, and 2 thieving employees, his name went to **** quick because of delays, orders taken, parts lost/stolen. Last I herd he was still sending out parts but closed down the business. He still owes people money/parts from what I herd too. This was over 10 years ago tho.
