Do Not Order From...

www.JMWERKS.com

I ordered/paid more than 3 months ago. Got lame excuses that he was on vacation, and then his shipping department never had a chance to ship when I contacted (numerous times).

Only replied to 2 of my many many emails (and days later), yet he withdrew the payment from paypal the day after I sent it.

Just trying to look out in case any of you were thinking about it. And pass it along so no one else gets ripped off.

Re: Do Not Order From...

At least I am not the only person to have a problem with JMWerks.com
What I ordered and what I got were 2 completely different things, and then I couldn't get any answers from them.

Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention.

Check out the gallary. The models there looked familiar to me. Especially the Drag Civic.

Re: Do Not Order From...

The owner of that site frequents these forums under the name espin, you might try PMing him.. As far as I know the replies to your emails are probably from him because judging by his site design and it lack of updates, it's looks like a one-man operation

I don't think that's a wheelie bar on the civic. Not sure what the correct name is, but they function as "anti-squat" bars. They help maintain front wheel traction by keeping the rear end from sagging under acceleration.

Ed B. The man who started the whole "FWD Wheelie-bar craze" has stated that he and his brother took design cues from wheelie bars.

Hence the look.

And there should be a Sticky of shops/people to avoid.

Nope...no parts yet. No apologies, explanations, nothing. Just sent me back my refund after I let him know that I notified my credit card company and started this thread.
