Haha.

Well, what's done is done and we worked with what he had.

I wasn't able to show up today at the shop since I had to get the sensors taken out of Brians old wheels and have them installed on his new VSXX.

So, im not exactly sure what progress was made on his car today, but we shall see tomorrow morning.

Ill have fresh pictures of the wheels in about 12 hours.

nothing against you or brian (just speaking in general here)....but maybe next time someone will listen to me

when did origin become a legit company? i'm not trying to be a dick, it's not a sarcastic question. didn't they show up about four years ago with two or three kits that look exactly the same? rain gutter side skirts and retarded looking lampshade front and back
and a smoking playboy bunny as the logo? i think origin is pretty grey area.

BustedS13 · 06-19-2009, 01:53 AM

also, i love these little paint model cars, they're the most adorable things

serris · 06-19-2009, 12:58 PM

I'm not sure what brand to trust anymore, really. Doesn't matter now, I don't think I'll be getting a kit for the Z in the near future.

If the kit gets messed up or I can't use it anymore, I'll probably go back to stock or go with something tried and true like Nismo.

As for legal action, it was pushed back to August. I'm going to try to serve him sooner in case something happens again. Every time my process server tried to serve him, he wasn't there and it ran over the minimum amount of days (15) that you have to have the other party served in LA County.

i never said they were a "legit" company as far as the stuff they've come out with. I think the point i was making is that people want the "NAME" rather than trusting something that fits better that's "off brand"...following me now?

Brian · 06-19-2009, 02:05 PM

Should have got VeilSide.

right... but i mean, Extreme Dimensions is a name. you're the same age as me. remember Razzi or Erebuni? it just confuses me that a company shown time and time again to make wavy crap is still considered a "name brand" and not "bargain bin shit". i think we're on the same page

I'll let Brian chime in on this one though since he's the one that really knows what's going on with all the legal mumbo-jumbo.

He was supposedly losing his business because of this incident, but apparently not.

Standard Basic tactic. You're going to need to find that white toyota and where he's working. Ask around to these local body shops. Just walk in and be like "Do you know where I can find x guy and then if they ask why. Be honest. Say like he cut the quarter pannels off a 350z and ruined them"

Or find where he hangs out. Clubs are great. There's always cops out front and they have to help you serve especially when he walks out. Bring em with you. Have them sign it. Done.

Thanks for the advice, as always!

I will keep it all in mind. Some of the neighboring shops said they never see him. So it seems he only works when they're closed.

I will keep trying!

Bobadrift · 06-24-2009, 01:49 PM

Hmmm I'm sure I can probably serve him. He still takes my calls, but then I haven't called him in a while now.

I'm sure he's following this thread, so he'll probably be wary of your call.

Bobadrift · 06-29-2009, 06:16 PM

Most people have no idea who I am on car forums. Just know me offline.

That color looks neat so far.

0100 · 07-14-2009, 07:52 PM

wow big difference in 1st and 3rd picture, that is pretty cool.

yokotas13 · 07-15-2009, 02:10 AM

mikes on yahoo all the time
responds to me
i hope you guys crush him into the ground with an abrams tank

Bobadrift · 07-16-2009, 04:52 PM

So has he been sued or not? I know the deadline was missed to serve the paperwork. I'm just wondering since he's out bragging about how well his "business" is doing and it's pissing me off. I'd sue him myself to get my money and missing/broken parts back/replaced.

serris · 07-17-2009, 09:03 PM

yokotas13: I'm curious as to what you guys talk about, hah

Bobadrift: Bragging, eh? Well, the court date is in August. I have a process server taking care of the serving to make it more official.

Where has he been bragging? As far as I can remember, when doesn't he brag?

Nismology · 07-17-2009, 09:09 PM

OMG! I love revenge tales.

Nismology · 07-17-2009, 09:27 PM

wow i'd have such murderous intent for them, if I that was my 350z

wacko2 · 11-09-2009, 09:54 PM

kingkilburn · 11-10-2009, 12:27 AM

Write him a ticket.

drift_limo · 11-10-2009, 02:32 AM

that made me mad.. sucks to hear that man..

that color looks sick so far.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 11-10-2009, 09:00 AM

It's coming along.

drift freaq · 11-10-2009, 10:40 AM

that looks like an Audi color^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*exitspeed* · 11-10-2009, 11:24 AM

The Beetle comes in a similar color too. The Audi and Beetle color are probably the same.

I still can't believe what was done to this thing.

*Om1kron* · 11-10-2009, 11:41 AM

wow this car still isn't finished.
