Has anyone bought anything from Bulletproofautomotive ?

Hi guys,

I ordered Varis carbon B-pillar's like 4 months ago and still haven't seen them. They said every month that they would be here in another two weeks, and that was four months ago. I'm sick of calling so when they get here, they get here.
Also they just got a new warehouse in Japan, so everything that was on it's way is going to take a little longer. Once the warehouse is functioning shippments will be a lot faster... supposedly?

I've ordered a Fujitsubo exhaust and downpipe from them. They quote me 6-8 weeks waiting and they have arrived as promised within that period of time. They gave me updates everytime I called. Very good service!

i knew to avoid them because their selection was WAY too big, no way they can inventory even half of that stuff.... all that means is either they are B.S. or they have to order it all from a 3rd party

hopefully you will get it by then, you probably will, but my experience has been it will take a LONG time to get stuff from Japan. I think that is just the way it is, no matter who you order it from. I may be wrong though, it has just been my experience.

i really hope i do get it in the time they said. if everything plans out and they can that will mean more buisness for them on the hard to find stuff. also there is a piece that goes on your bumper to help it not melt from the exhaust does anyone know where i can get it.

yeah i think that BP sells one, but I'm pretty sure that it won't fit our USDM bumpers, at least that is what I have heard. But, I've heard that somebody is making one for the USDM bumper but I can't remember who. Anyways, I should order something from japanparts.com because everytime I've ordered something that had to come from Japan it took a LONG time. If I find someone who can get it from Japan quickly then they can bet on my business again.
