lol ... wrong. Drop ship by definition would mean the vendor doesn't inspect it. Seeing 1 in stock on the Evo-r site is scary. He does that to try and encourage more sales regardless of stock status; he's done it for years.

So far you've had a good experience with Jay, but just wait until something is messed up and you ask for a replacement - he will stop responding to you entirely forever. You are one person and lots of people have a terrible experience buying direct. The Z Store is far less risk. Time has proven that.

yes your'r right;sorry, i wasnt sure if he drop shipped or sent it to himself first. i get it, id be more weary if it was anything more than an engine cover...

also just curious as to how many people have actually had an issue....or if everyone just knows someone whos had an issue...

also, the ball bearings in my mirrors came loose, i emailed him and within 2 days he sent me an email back with a video on how to tighten them...just saying....i dont understand how im the only person whos had luck with his items?

Even a 25% failure rate is significant IMO

but its moot now

I have personally met at least 10 people. I spoken with dozens more online. The closest thing to a positive experience with Evo-R for me personally was when I purchased the Z emblems. They were painted but the finish on them was so poor that I was forced to repaint them.

I tried to fix one of his janky mirrors. It had already been tightened too much and was broke when I received it - no response from Jay whatsoever. I sold it to someone who will remain nameless who JBwelded them lol. Bought the Craftsquare mirrors and now happy as can be; the quality is well worth the extra cost to me.

That for sale thread is pure gold man.

Out of four items that I have purchased (all directly from Jay), I have only received one damaged item. All were shipped promptly.

With the one damaged item, it took nearly 8 month to receive a replacement. This happened after many e-mails.

PS. Sorry, but my OCD could not deal with your post, so I fixed the spelling errors.
