I'm so pissed.
So, about 3 and a half months ago, I ordered my body kit (wings west side-skirts, door caps, and rear bumper, Cervinis hood, and a "bomb" front bumper from www.versusmotorsport.com). I've gotten everything except for the front bumper, and every day, I call to ask about it. They kept saying that they were expecting it in the next shipment, then, the next shipment would come, and it wasn't there, or they'd be "missing one of the boxes", and then they'd find the box, and it wouldn't be in there, etc. etc. etc.
So I get a call today, and the guy tells me (after THREE AND A HALF MONTHS) that Versus doesn't sell this bumper (it doesn't even show up on their web-site anymore). They tell me it's actually an Andy's Autosport bumper. So I checked out Andys Autosports website, and I see the bumper, but not for a 4th gen civic (5th gen and up only). So I called Andys, and they say they don't make it for 4th gens. WTF!?!
So now, I've gotta find a new front bumper, and wait probably another month before it comes in!!!
I've seen this bumper on e-bay before for a 4th gen hatch (but I can't find them on there anymore)... Can anyone help me out?!
Here's a pic off of e-bay:

Get that Skyline front bumper off eBay, it's the best looking one. If I cared about kits I would get that.

yeah thats wierd, cuz i used to see that kit all the time too, the closest thing to it on ebay was the shogun kit from www.erebuni.net http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1835643558

Hey Mike call em back and ask to talk to the owner raise a little hell tell him what an inconvience they caused, tell them how many people you talk to on these boards then tell ask them if their is any kind of deal they can give you on your previous purchases. If not tell them you will post messages boy cotting their store. I work in a retail store and have seen people use this one all the time. And the good managers will usually give you some kind of deal because they wan't to keep business. It's better to cut a guy one deal then loose lots of potential customers and gain a bad reputation

I know what your going thru bro. I ordered a set of clear corners and bumper lenses from Autoaccessory.com back in Feb. I got the bumper lenses a few weeks later, but the corners never showed up. So I started calling and they would tell me that they have not recieved a shipment from APC. So last month they said that they recieved a shipment from them and at the latest I would have my clear corners by the 25th of last month. Yet still they haven't been sent. Matter of fact, when I called them yesterday, they said that they were still out of stock. Can you believe that? So I ordered them off of Ebay and already recieved them. I will never order form Autoaccessory.com and I recommend that no one else orders from that shit hole either.

hey i would watch out on ebay for body kits. my friend bought a body kit for his 94 civic ex and the body kit didnt fit for shit. he had to spend at least an extra 500 on bodywork because none of the piece that came with the body kit fit his car. plus the body kit fiberglass was so thin that my friend already cracked his front bumper. so we called it the universal body kit.
just to let you know what maybe could happen to you. if i were you i would go with a name brand product just to know it will fit and be a good product.
my friend even called wrote the guy he bought it from off ebay to conform that it was the right kit and the guy said it was. idk

man, i went through almost the same thing. i ordered a sensei front bumper from streetweaponkits and like a week later the ww kit. the ww kit came in 2 days. a month later, still no sensei. i call the place they say to call the shipper. i call the shipper and no record of the bumper. longe story short. i ended up telling them to cancel it and give me my money back. 2 hrs later the shipper called and told me someone just dropped off my bumper.i called them back and said "tuff, it's too late". i refused the bumper and got my money back.
i was pretty bent. i really liked the sensei bumper :(

Yeah, I REALLY wanted that "bomb" bumper... It's a really aggressive look. The closest thing to it is the Shogun (I think), but it just doesn't look the way I want it to. Oh well, I'll probably end up going with the WW front end... I dunno.

Yea, maybe you should print out this thread or email a link to them

Current businesses I am boycotting (some automotive, some not)
Discount Tire Inc - Price to fix a flat (screw in tire) exceeded new tire cost
Villa Corona Resturant - Every other mexican place has chips for free, why cant they?
Any business on main street between first and third street - All their patrons park in the wells fargo bank parking lot and I can never find a spot when I need to use ATM
Quality Tune & Lube - Fucked up my battery connections when I had an oil change
Beacon Gas station on Imola Ave - All their Credit readers are broken which means you gotta go inside twice (once to pay, again for change / card back). Also there is no mini mart in that area so all the fucking locals in that area are always in the store buying everything BUT gas, so the real people cant put the gas in and get on with life
Target Napa- I am sick and tired of this place, all their shit sucks, I can never find anything, and their security guard is really pissing me off.
There are other places that I cant think of off the top of my head.
Later guys
