I really like what you did with the tailights, I think I might have to do that as well. Otherwise there is just too much red in the back haha

thats exactly why i did it... i thought it was like BAM red so i thought of the outline to break up things a bit

i got an update on the top secret parts.... idk why the heck but they are still in texas.... not bakers fault but UPS... i hate UPS.... in my z's whole modding lifespan ive used UPS only 4 times and each of the 4 times there was a freaking problem.... not to mention the local UPS always trys to rip me the f*ck off and say i gotta pay import tax for my parts which is a freaking scam.... i always get out of it but in return they argue with me and say they have to drop it to my house and that i cant pick it up from the UPS headquarters. But in return they want to charge me what was charged to be shipped from states.

i remember when i brought in my mines wing they wanted to charge me 200 dollars for delivery after they saw the estimated value of the package. When i told them that i would pick it up, they said i couldnt because it wasnt part of there policy, after arguing with the person they said i could pick it up but i would pay tax.... that day i paid 110 dollars in "import tax" i was so frustrated and tired and just wanted my freaking wing i didnt give a damn....

when my jp vizage came in through them... the guy helping me at UPS didnt give me no ******** we walked to the back he loaded the box on the forklift and put it in my truck... i said so no tax this time? He said "what to you mean tax? there is no tax on guam it was already incorporated in the bill you paid the states".... i was so in shock and mad i didnt know what to do...

now brings me to my intakes..... i can only hope and wonder what these f*cktards are gonna tell me next.... i really hope that the guy that helped me with the jp vizage is still there all the other workers there look like they hate there life and job smh sorry for ranting guys im just frustrated that i payed double for shipping it UPS and i ALWAYS have problems... this is the LAST time i deal with UPS i have no idea how they stay in business locally.... smh

^ +1 on UPS.... they suck for Cdn deliveries too.... USPS is the easiest/cheapest and sometimes faster!...

Navyboy916 · 01-18-2013, 03:49 PM

Jon, u need to write the cooperation about this. Guam has no tax and so when they charge u that I bet they put that money in their pocket.

my friend from daytona racing emailed me... he said my top secret EC arrived at his shop... his mailing it tomoro... imma kick my self in the head if the freaking EC arrives before the TS intakes and pillars

you guys have no idea how much the wait is killing me....

Navyboy916 · 01-21-2013, 06:32 AM

Jon, trust me I think I know a little something about waiting LOL. It sucks I can't sleep well anymore until the motor is done. Like a crackhead waiting for a hit

bro... you are like the most patient guy i know lol

Navyboy916 · 01-21-2013, 04:31 PM

It does suck waiting but now I can see that the wait is worth it just like you bro in the end u will be so stoked when they get here. Just don't let ups screw you over bro.

simota1 · 01-23-2013, 05:30 AM

i called UPS.... they said that the package is stuck at texas because the label was printed on the 15th... idk what the heck is going on... i pmed baker tuning already but he hasnt replied yet...

all i care is that they didnt lose my package.... that would suck balls tremendously... i just want all my parts to come in so i can move on to the oil catch cans and strut bar from top secret....

simota1 · 01-23-2013, 04:19 PM

So at this point im a little frustrated with the communication baker tuning, paul has not responded to my pm's.... i understand it was a holiday on monday but its thurday now and nothing?!?

ive emailed him directly already to get a faster response.... payment has been sent since the 4th of this month and i think waiting 20days is a bit much already especially coming from texas.... i got my sunline rep spats from texas in 2 days

does anyone have experience with baker tuning by any chance?

TheGreatOne · 01-23-2013, 04:24 PM

Arrgg, sucks to hear about the waiting. Its never fun, especially when you know things from a certain area arrive pretty quickly. As long as I get communication I'm usually ok...hope u hear something soon

theDreamer · 01-23-2013, 04:26 PM

I was at Baker today, saw Paul but he was in street clothes and was only around for a bit, I think it is his day off.

im totally ok with waiting man

like my top secret EC from daytona racing japan my friend yuki told me 4 weeks.... its only been 2 weeks and he sent me a tracking number i know my EC will be here next week

and as long as there is communication im a happy camper.... when i ordered my mines wing from driveline on here... i waited 3 months.. and they always updated me so i was not freaking out... the only thing i hate is when people leave me in the dark... that absolutely frustrates me.....
